Vanilla thread ... How about a "hook up" thread for us Vanilla folk? ... Vanilla thread
In have been in two "relationships" since hubby died nine years ago. Both were with individuals who currently or had in the recent past been part of the BDSM community. In each of these instances I had believed before getting involved that these relationships had little chance of success because (I mused to myself) I would always feel like I was not able to provide these individuals with something they enjoyed and needed. Though the reason for the failure of the relationships was not exactly what I had thought would be the problem, I have come to believe that for myself such a pairing is not a good choice.
But we vanilla folks are not as visible here are the bdsm folk are. We have no forum dedicated to our needs (hint hint to admin), so I decided to create a spot for us to meet and get to know each other, and I would like to invite all you other single "Vanillans" to join me. Smooches, Keri |

OK HI
Here's some info about me. Please share what you feel is relevant about yourself. I am a very active person. I am usually balancing two or three activities at the same time, both work and play. I have my own little teenie tiney business, I am a national politics junkie, and the only television I really enjoy watching is MSNBC. I love to go to the movies, dinner, concerts, pride activities, etc. I am a decent cook, but I wouldn't say I love to cook, and would be glad to share or cede that activity to my partner (if I had one.) I hope to do some serious traveling soon, I have had a passport for three years and I still don't have even one stamp. I hope to see the Louvre in Paris, the Sistine Chapel in Italy, and the The Cavern in London, and I'd like to spend at least a few months in Australia. All of this will have to be done "on the cheap" as I am definetly having a shortage in the cash flow area. I also love week-end trips and just going for a drive on the spur of the moment. I have four kids, two of whom have magically reappeared in my home in the last two weeks (Where DID they come from?) If a third one shows up, I will seriously consider relocating myself, LOL. In the past I have mostly partnered with FTMS, but I feel I am open to other possiblities and will just have to see what delightful person appears in my future. I am not a stone femme and don't feel I would be the best choice for a "stone" individual, though I have always been respectfull of my partners boundaries. I am hoping to find a active age 60+ partner who has a zest for live and sexuality. I would be willing to relocate for the right person, or perhaps alternate between two locations to accommodate both partner's need to close to family friends and activities they enjoy Smooches, Keri |

Oh, I'm definitely fairly vanilla, though I do know a bit about a lot of things, that most vanilla people wouldn't.

Lol Gee thanks! On a different subject, I am hoping to be able to make it back up to Michigan, and to the Ann Arbor region, this coming spring. My nephew is scheduled to get married then, as I recall.

Please reead the title of the thread and the first post before you make your own posting. This is a thread for single folks who are not into BDSM practices to meet and get to know each other for the objest of dating. Vanilla is a label chosen for us by BDSM folks. I used it because it is known, not because of it's descriptive capacity.
Vanillans do not consider ourselves to be boring. We in fact are not boring, at least not any more or less than BDSM folk. Some of us are kinky as hell, by most definitions. But we do not tie each other up, whip each other, use humiliation tactics as a sexual turn on, or make each other stand in the corner when we are "bad." I am not saying this to be insulting to BDSM people, just listing a few of the practices I have read about on BDSM threads on this site. If you know you are non BDSM and you like it, and you wish to date others like yourself, then please post here. Start with a description of your self similar to the one Rockin and I did. If you are trying to work out whether you are Vanilla or Bdsm, or you wish to make funny comments about vanilla (or BDSM for that matter) sexual practices, please do that on another thread. Thanks. Smooches, Keri |

But you are being insulting to BDSM folks. Clearly these ideas are appalling to you. Not something you need to express online. Just as you didn't need to point out that, to you, femmes who don't partner with butches aren't really femmes.

Shit. I just remembered about not pulling stuff from other threads into current discussions. I can't edit now. Mods, if you want to, I would be fine with you removing my comment about femmes from my previous post.

First - I looked for a post in the thread that would have warranted your response. I didn't see one, so I'm not sure what compelled you to say what you did. Having said that, I'm curious as to what you mean by "some of us are kinky as hell" but then you say you do not do X, Y, Z, etc. Well, if you are kinky as hell, what DO you do? Also, I don't think it's fair to say you aren't trying to be insulting to BDSM people by listing a few practices you read about on the BDSM threads. It would be like me talking about Christians and saying "I don't speak in tongues, burn witches at the stake, or believe that women are "unclean" while menstruating... oh, but I am not saying this to be insulting to Christians." It just doesn't hold up. I'm sorry you feel that this site has somehow pandered to the BDSM community - it's funny how we're a minority but we're seen as having some special privilege instead of just having equal access.

It's because we are allowed to speak. That's our special privilege.

MODERATION
Hey, folks, this is a Vanilla Hook Up thread. Let's get it back on track and allow for those who id as vanilla (or what it alludes to) to post and get to know each other. However, this is a public forum, so if something is posted that you read as discriminatory towards people who practice BDSM, by all means report it. We don't condone that towards any group or identity. Let us discuss in the mod/admin thread and see if it indeed warrants intervening. By the same token, Keri, if you feel that someone is mocking your thread, instead of striking out in a passive-aggressive way towards those who practice BDSM, report it and let us take a look. Finally, please do not report the posts prior to my post. Let's just take it from here. Thanks, everyone! Jennifer |

I'm sorry, Keri, but I have never been good about talking about myself. I figure that anyone interested in me will learn more in one good convo with me, then I could ever tell them by writing things down. This just seems to work better for me, somehow.

Geez, wondering if I should post in here. Awful quiet.
Oh well. Yes I'm old fashioned, old school, June Cleaver kinda gal. Have no interest in anything beyond vanilla. Not interested in anyone who claims they left the other team to join the Vanilla scoop. Been there done that, the end. You can read my posts to figure out if you are interested or not. I'm considered too much by some, not enough for others. If you have an interest in the unusual then we might hit it off. |

Hi there,
first off i want to thank iamkeri1 for starting this thread. What a great idea! Im a single butch in my early 50s with some abstract ideas on life and love. Im a news and political junkie and i love talking about current events in the world. I love music and photography. I find women who are fiesty and intelligent a HUGE turn on. I love taking road trips, talking and listening to good music while i drive. A guilty pleasure of mine is video games!! (shhh dont tell anyone) but i justify it by telling people it will help keep my mind sharp and stave off dementia! LOL Ive been single for years now, and i truly do enjoy my own company and less willing to tolerate bullshit. Thru the course of my life ive experienced many things and many people and in those experiences, ive discovered what i truly want and like. Honesty and empathy and compassion are requirements for me and those in my life. Im not sure if im looking for a romantic relationship or companionship. I never thought id ever say" im looking for companionship" but ijust did! LOL Im a liberal democrat who finds this current administration terrifying. So much hate being promoted. I think its time to start sharing love and laughter and happiness. |
