 |  What the hell is Vanilla?
Okay, quick question and then I swear I'll leave you guys alone for alittle while... What in the HELL does "Vanilla" mean? I have seen that word a dozen times in the last five minutes just reading posts? Would someone please care to explain?  Is a Vanilla friend different from a Cholcoate or strawberry friend?  Jenn |

You may run into the term vertical and horizontal when describing a friend as well. of course if you use your imagination you can guess which is a horizontal or vertical friend. |

Vanilla is a non-swinging friend. Vanilla can also mean a purer activity. Like men who are virgins, and maybe only gotten to 1st base. Or couples that have no sexual experience whatsoever. I prefer the term vertical, because I think vanilla is a broad term. |

| Re: What the hell is Vanilla?
a long spell back we figured out that was what a "vanilla" person was,(non-swinger) but what we want to know is who coined the term, and how does it get it's (association) meaning.

| Re: What the hell is Vanilla?
Like someone said earlier vanilla is a broad term. Most alternative lifestyle communities use it to describe a person who is not into their particular activity. The BDSM community may very well use it to describe all of us.

They use the term vanilla in the electronics industry, too. Vanilla means something that isn't upgraded, plain and factory standard. Vanilla is the opposite of something that has all the Bells and Whistles. |

I digress, the term as it is used on this forum came to be because of a thread on this very board a couple of years ago. the question was something like 'how do you refer to your non swinging friends or non swingers in general?'. now I don't mean to imply that we invented it but of all the terms suggested in that thread "vanilla" is the one that evrybody decided was probably best and it seems to have stuck. I tried a search for that thread but it appears to be gone, probably to old I imagine. | |

| Re: What the hell is Vanilla?
One of my new friends described me as 'vanilla' when we first talked since I wasn't into Domination/Submission. I'm happy to report that he at least changed his opinion to 'French Vanilla' after we got together. Working my way up to 'Mocha' now |
