Vanilla-curious

Whilst ogling a particularly cute young lady the other day, I started to wonder: what do vanilla people get up to in the bedroom?

I mean, for spanko couples, a romantic night in behind the closed bedroom door might start with the partners discussing kinky ideas. The girl might end up over one’s knee, being warmed up with an initial spanking – gentle at first, then increasing in intensity. There could well be some role-playing next: stern lectures to set the scene before (say) a measured caning.

There’d be cuddles after the whacking – calming a punished girl, applying soothing creams – before moving on to intimacy (even then, perhaps, allowing time for the odd pause to tie an occasional rope).

But vanillas? I guess the whole process is just accelerated: shut the door, and move straight to cuddles (without even the need to rub in some arnica). It must be so boring. I guess they must just fall asleep earlier at night…

    Well, that would be why so many “women’s magazines” are always dealing of the problem of how to make sex more interesting — and longer lasting! — for people.

    It’s why vanilla men need to be taught “Don’t just rush to the clitoris — give her a kiss, first!” [grins] But seriously — kinky people understand foreplay way better than vanilla people do!!!

    But finally, you might recognize a certain amount of “vanilla” sex. Because a very high percentage of people in the world have a pair of handcuffs beside the bed, maybe a blindfold as well, and they just call what they do “vanilla” because they don’t want to be labled “kinky” for whatever reason….

    Actually Abel,

    “Vanilla” sex can have it’s own deep intensity, and long lasting anticipation and pleasures.

    For example, it may start with an evening or afternoon out. While walking around, sitting at dinner, going back and forth there is playful banter, subtle suggestions of what is to come later, desires whispered against a lover’s ear.

    Then there may be quick passes made,gentle caresses, teasing with fingers as well as words all mixed in with deep kisses.

    By the time the door is closed at home the slow burn that has been burning all evening has become a raging fire. Clothes may be pulled off in a hurry as they tumble on the bed, but even then the time is taken to explore each other’s bodies thoroughly before getting to the act itself.

    During the sex itself they may stopped the frantic thrusting a few times and just be there joined together feeling what it means to be that close. “Foreplay” in the sense of nipples teased and deep kissing may continue all the way through intercourse.

    Or that’s how my husband and I do it, anyway.

    I think the key is not to assume that just because no one picks up a cane or a strap that a couple does not know how to enjoy each other. Yes there is too much bad sex in the world, but there is plenty of good sex out there, too. The definition of “good” sex should be sex that is fully satisfying to both partners. It is a mistake to assume that what is satisfying will be or even should be exactly the same for every couple in the world.

    Ms. Betty

    I agree with each to their own to find good sex but I’m incredibly glad to have found it with the spanking, caning and all the other delicious kinky games because while I’m sure it works well for your husband and yourself Ms. Betty, what you describe would just do nothing for me, and I speak from experience, been there, done that… left the T-Shirt on the shelf and got this one instead “I’ve been a naughty girl – please spank me”

    Interesting replies: what a spectrum of interests we all have!

    Ms Betty – great post, and your activities sound extremely hot. I wasn’t being critical of vanilla couples – far from it: making value judgements about others’ preferences is something I try and avoid. It was more (in my slightly tongue-in-cheek way) a thought that if one isn’t incorporating kinky stuff into the bedroom, then one either has to spend more time doing everything else – or the whole bedroom routine must be over much quicker!

    Like Sarah, as a vanilla couple for many years, we just read a lot more books and had a lot less sex and intimacy of any kind. Although, as Zille said, we did have some ropes and scarves involved from time to time. Maybe it just the spanking being new, and the kids being older, but it sure takes up a whole lot more time now than it ever used to, even compared to when we were first a couple.

    P.S. Must add find ‘Spank me’ t-shirt to the to-do list.

    I love this post! There’s something so sweet about the idea of beginning a romantic evening talking about kinky ideas, perhaps over a nice dinner and a better-than-usual glass of wine…

    I know that in my vanilla sex life I think about spanking during sex. I’m really looking forward to developing a relationship where spanking is a big part of our sex life.
