What are your definitions of vanilla vs kinky!

Id be fascinated to know people's thoughts on this!

I've always thought my relationship was quite vanilla, however conversations with a couple of friends (like you do) have said they think I've had a kinky marriage

What do you think counts as generally vanilla compared to kinky.?

Ps long term member not a ţroll!

A vienetta is kinky.

It certainly is if you get the sausage and fried onion-flavour one!

Using an exclamation mark instead of a question mark isn't so much kinky as sickeningly perverted.

I completely agree.

How do you stand on the Oxford comma?

I honestly thought pegging was covering male tackle, lady bits & nips with clothes pegs. I'm glad to be educated otherwise.🙂
Prince William? Can't envisage Kate in a harness & 'protuberance' but hey ho.

ArcticSkewer · 13/12/2022 17:11

I don't think they meant Kate @CherryRipe1

George Clooney - vanilla. Jacob Rees-Mogg - kinky.

Anal is more popular with upper middle class people, less so with "middle" middle.

CherryRipe1 · 13/12/2022 17:34

@ArcticSkewer Ahhh right, thanks. I'm such a nosey old cow I had to Google it. Hmmmmmm, interesting 🤔

What? Where on earth did you read that?

Peggingsoundsgross · 13/12/2022 17:59

@Flapjacker48 What 🤣

I think it's more of a mindset than specific actions. Vanilla sex is more about the relationship you have with your sexual partner, kinky sex is more about your feelings about the acts themselves. I think kinky sex is often porn inspired too. You could have vanilla blow job or a kinky blow job depending on your mindset.

stroke of genius there!

Vanilla - missionary and kissing
Kinky - all sorts of uncomfortable positions and punching

Vanilla - wearing a nice bra and knickers set, having sex, and kissing
Kinky - wearing full bondage gear and spitting on each other

Vanilla - going to a house party together and having a cheeky snog
Kinky - going to a swingers' club together and having an orgy

@Season0fTheWitch I think nowadays many people do stuff Wo being experienced or educated.
im thinking if all the S&M stuff that people reproduce from porn and will try and make you think they are ‘normal’ aka vanilla.
Even though they are straight out of a S&M manual iyswim.

THisbackwithavengeance · 13/12/2022 18:33

I hate the way "vanilla" sex is seen in a negative light. So if you're not into giving a line of strange men blowjobs in a lorry park whilst your DH live streams it on XHamster, whipping your DH with birch twigs whilst he's wearing a nappy or pooing onto a glass table whilst your DH lies under it wanking off then somehow your sex life is lesser. I personally prefer a good old fashioned rogering.

It's almost become competitive in who can have the most weird, bordering illegal or outrageous kink. And then we wonder why men can't get it up to have normal sex?

MulderitsmeX · 13/12/2022 18:46

Kinky = being able to finish a shag before i hear a child waking up, rare too!

Other than that who cares? Find someone who likes doing what you do and get on with it

CrownTheTurkey · 13/12/2022 18:49

Vanilla is pulling her nightie above her hips and doing it missionary with the lights out.
Doing it kinky is when the leather, whips and strap on comes out.

DerekFaker · 13/12/2022 19:12

Oh my god who cares?! Do what you want to do and don't measure yoursrlf against others.

Jesus it was a lighthearted question. Some people need to calm down and check themselves! Don't comment on the thread if you don't want to engage in this convo..... Honestly!

I'm definitely Vanilla.

I'd rather be celibate than create the beast with two backs with JRM

Pinkknits2 · 29/01/2023 06:50

I always thought oral sex was basically foreplay.

chococherrychoochoo · 29/01/2023 06:56

If google results are subjective why do you expect MN not to be subjective?

It’s whatever you want it to be. I’ve had full sessions of just oral, it’s great!

WeBuiltThisBuffetOnSausageRoll · 12/12/2022 23:45

Vanilla is a feather, kinky is the whole chicken

Yes!

Alternatively, vanilla is just undoing one or two toggles; kinky is removing the entire duffel coat.

🤣🤣🤣
