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.
Zoe: I thought you wanted to spend more time off-ship this visit. Wash: Out there is seems like it's all fancy parties. I like our party better. The dress code is easier and I know all the steps.

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.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Ha, Liese!

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.
