"A vanilla sexuality (or "vanilla sex" and more commonly "conventional sex") is what a culture perceives as conventional sexual behavior. Different cultures have varying conceptions of what constitutes traditional sexuality.
The term "vanilla sexuality" is used in the context of diverse sexualities to refer to a common form of sexuality practiced by the majority, often in contrast to "kinky sexuality." In Western countries, particularly among heterosexual couples, vanilla sexuality generally refers to the missionary position, which allows both partners to look at each other and kiss.
The term "vanilla" leverages the polysemic nature of the term, meaning both literally "vanilla" or "conventional", depending on the context. It originally derives from the use of vanilla extract as the basic flavoring for ice cream, and by extension, meaning plain or conventional.
Reception and Criticism
The term "vanilla" is tricky to use. In comparison to so-called kinky or even BDSM practices, this word can be used pejoratively to describe a person or, more often, a couple perceived as sexually "boring." This can create a kind of opposition between the two types of sexuality. In the end, what defines vanilla sex is subjective and shouldn't be used to demean one or the other.
