Seriously, people. I am an actual missionary, one who has only ever had sex with her husband, and I don't just do missionary position. I mean, come on. Vanilla is as vanilla does.
We're not gonna die. We can't die, Bendis. You know why? Because we are so very pretty. We are just too pretty for God to let us die.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm still sad about polyamory, after falling for, and therefore having to break up with, a poly guy recently.
The term "heteroflexible" unfortunately gets used a lot to mean "Tee hee, I'm a woman who makes out with other women in bars because the men think it's hot!"
Really? Those girls would use that term? I mean, I guess so, but it feels so much more academic than Katy Perry.

OMG, Liese, I love you.
I wish there were better names for sexual positions. I hate both "missionary" and "doggy style" as terms.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I knew someone in college who insisted that this was what the "I'm straight but not narrow" bumper sticker on her car meant.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Wikipedia:
Among heterosexual couples in the Western world, vanilla sex often refers to the missionary position.[...]. It can also be used to describe insertive sex without any element of BDSM or any fetish.
My assumption is that by insertive they don't mean anal, since they say missionary.
I asked my sister, because she's a professional (anthropologist, not sex person). She hooked me up with the journal linked to from the wikipedia article, but that's about homosexuals. Very frustrating. But it does say that 1/3 of British straight couples engage in occasional anal sex, which for me would put it on the boundary of vanilla--but it's not something you ask a nice girl to do on a first date, you know? And vanilla is that stuff.
