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!"

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

Ugh, seriously????

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 t heart Liese.

I Liese.

Amen to that!

Ha, Liese!

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.

Whew.

Just had an "OMG, what's on the laptop screen?" moment when the cable guy walked in. Scarecrow & Mrs. Flynn fanart. Unbusted.

isn't that Scarecrow and Mrs. King? Man, my mom loved that show. We watched it all the time.

A vanilla person will not have their sexual orientation called into question due to their sexual practices.

Do vanilla people have their grammar called into question?

A vanilla person seeking medical attention due to an accident that occurred during sex will not face scrutiny or be treated unsympathetically because of the nature of the vanilla nature of their sexual activity.

I think there would still be pointing and mocking.

We still don’t know if it’s safe to flog breasts.

So how would one set up that experiment?

isn't that Scarecrow and Mrs. King?

Actually, it was a Scarecrow & Mrs. King/Tron crossover. Which I've now lost.

In my googling on vanilla sex I found a spirited defense of vanilla sex that left me a little...bwuh? I mean, he's a little too excited about sex that only lasts three minutes. However, what really got me was another reference to that same article that referred to the author appearing on the radio show of a girl I knew in university (and who dated Colin).

Okay, ita, get out of the house and run your stupid errands.
