and when to remove this message conventional sex colloquially known as vanilla sex is sexual behavior that is within the range of normality for a culture or subculture what is regarded as conventional sex depends on cultural and subcultural norms it can also describe penetrative sex which does not have any element of bdsm kink or fetish 1 conventional sexual acts in the western world edit among heterosexual couples in the western world for example conventional sex often refers to sexual intercourse in the missionary position 2 the british medical journal regards conventional sex between homosexual couples as sex that does not extend beyond affection mutual masturbation and oral and anal sex 3 in addition to mutual masturbation including manual sex penetrative sexual activity among same sex pairings is contrasted by non insertive acts such as intercrural sex frot and tribadism although tribadism has been cited as a common but rarely discussed sexual practice among lesbians 4 5 vanilla sex edit the term vanilla sex is often used to describe conventional sex which does not include explicit elements of bdsm kink or fetishism in relationships where only one partner enjoys less conventional forms of sexual expression the partner who does not enjoy such activities as much as the other is often referred to as the vanilla partner as such it is easy for them to be erroneously branded unadventurous in sexual matters 6 through exploration with their partner it may be possible for a more vanilla minded person to discover new facets of their sexuality as with any sexually active person they may find their preferences on the commonly termed vanilla kink spectrum are sufficient for their full satisfaction 7 the term vanilla in vanilla sex leverages the polysemic nature of the term meaning both literally vanilla the flavour of as the pod of the vanilla genus or the orchid vanilla planifolia or conventional depending on the context 8 vanilla flavour has been the most common flavour for ice cream for over 200 years leading to the flavor being associated with being plain basic or conventional 9 the figurative meaning was added in the 1970s though earlier examples exist 10 a notable early instance appears in a 1942 life magazine article suggesting the metaphorical use was already familiar to the public in 1997 the oed expanded the definition to include sexual contexts particularly vanilla sex referring to conventional non kinky activity several citations stem from 1970s gay and lesbian discourse coinciding with a rise in visibility and activism indicating cultural shifts shaped the modern usage 10 references edit listen to this article 3 minutes this audio file was created from a revision of this article dated 24 april 2006 2006 04 24 and does not
