  Vanilla sex - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Vanilla sex is sometimes used to describe what society might regard as standard or conventional sexual behavior.
The term "vanilla" derives from the use of vanilla extract as the basic flavoring for ice cream, and by extension meaning "plain" or "conventional".
Vanilla in English comes from the dimunitive form of the Spanish word vaina, which means "scabbard" or "sheath" — the original meaning of the Latin word vagina.

 The Smell Report - Vanilla.   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
Others have noted the appropriateness of vanilla scents for the ‘softer, more caring’ zeitgeist of the 1990s - as opposed to the thrusting, bullish 80s, when the fashion was for perfumes so overpowering that restaurants had to ban them because customers could not taste their food.
Vanilla is associated not only with warmth, softness and caring, but also has connotations of purity and simplicity.
The animal results indicate that the calming effects of vanilla may be due to some more essential property of the fragrance than the ‘positive childhood associations’ usually invoked to explain its universal popularity with humans.

 Sex, Love and the Vanilla Bean
Chocolate and vanilla were made into an all-purpose drink that quenched one’s thirst, warmed the body, served as a medicine, and acted as an aphrodisiac.
Vanilla, on the other hand, was considered "hot." Denis Diderot, a French intellectual in the 1700s, and a prolific writer on many topics, believed that while chocolate was good, many of the additional flavorings added to it were bad, unless you were in an amorous mood.
When vanilla extracts came onto the market at the end of the 19th century, more than a few savvy women dabbed a little behind their ears and onto their wrists, thereby creating the ultimate in perfumes – a sensual aroma that also conjured up the homey pleasures of food fresh from the kitchen.

 BDSM -- What It Is, What It Means
It's important to realize that the culture at large is silly and inaccurate about vanilla sex, so there is no reason to suspect that the most common images of BDSM that are propagated (lack of consent, no safety, and always a submissive woman with a dominant man) are any more accurate a portrayal.
If a woman wishes in vanilla sex to discuss in detail what it is she wants, what bothers her, and where her psychological weak points may be, it is treated as if it is some grand confessional -- and something that quite often the man simply doesn't know how to react to.
I am not trying to say that practitioners of vanilla sex, happy with their lives, should begin using leather straps or handcuffs, only that perhaps if it weren't assumed that vanilla sex were something you could do without thinking, it might not be as tense as it is.

It's in general good that some guys are concerned that their wives and girlfriends enjoy sex, but please, don't treat the problem like some sort of logic puzzle.

 How vanilla became shorthand for bland. By Amanda Fortini - Slate Magazine
Vanilla soon caught on among the European elite; Queen Elizabeth, an inveterate sugar addict, indulged daily in vanilla-infused pastries prepared by her chef.
Vanilla's lackluster reputation stems in part from its particular history in America, where most people initially encountered it as a flavoring for ice cream.
Today, the many candied and cookied ice cream flavors that use vanilla as a base reinforce the notion that vanilla is basic: merely the starting point for flavor, not flavor itself.

 Dr. Marty Klein
So in a culture where people learn to fear their own sexuality, sex appears to require censorship if it is sex for pleasure, healing, or self-expression, and not bounded by love; and if it doesn't require an institution, ritual, or sanctioned person to approve it.
Such activities declare that aspects of sex such as pleasure, self-expression, and high states of arousal are legitimate, are not shameworthy, and are an integral part of emotional life for one's fellow citizens.
In the debate over whether a community, local or national, can allow sex to go public, most sexologists and progressives say that sex should be treated like all other classes of activity in a democracy--i.e., restricted only when there is a clear and present danger to some because of the behavior or options of others.

Sex Ward, in its two episodes, hits up against some of the material that's still popular now but for the most part almost feels a bit like a throwback to, well, like five years ago.
Sex Ward was surprisingly enjoyable in a time when hospital related adult anime tends to skew towards the far extreme with its fetishes.
It's designs are simple but effective and attractive, the plot is basic but carries everything through and the sex varies from decent to pretty damn hot and overall this is a good hour of very mainstream hentai that offers a little bit of something for just about everyone.

 Wordwizard Clubhouse - plain vanilla
It's a curious twist of history that Jefferson brought vanilla beans from France to America, since the origin of the plant was Mexico: that's where the Spanish first encountered it and named it.
But vanilla certainly came to be highly prized in France, and still is: French botanists were keen to transplant it to their Indian Ocean colonies (which involved learning to pollinate it artificially) and the best vanilla pods you can buy in France now come from there, from Réunion in fact.
Both of these dates are later than the naming of 'vanilla', which therefore was really named not after a vagina, nor after a sheath, but after a beanpod: the word vaynilla was used in that sense in Spanish from 1555.

Because practitioners recognize that they are doing important things that will matter a great deal to people, psychologically speaking, they recognize how important it is to lay all cards out on the table.

I suppose she rationalized that the energy expended during the sex was more than enough to make up for the beef she ate.

 Glossary of Sexual Slang   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
One of the main problems of sex education is the lack of simple, accurate, and acceptable words with which to talk about sex.
Although they are often graphic, and sometimes ironic, indeed even humorous, they are generally felt to be "obscene," "filthy," or "dirty," and therefore cannot be used in public or in polite private conversation.
Nevertheless, in the absence of legitimate sex education, these slang expressions are often the only sexual terms a young person knows, and since they never appear in the average educational book, he may find himself deprived of any further instruction.
