Vanilla is a term that refers to what a society considers to be standard, traditional or normal. It can be applied in various ways to refer to lifestyle, sex, behaviour or simply attitude. Different cultures, subcultures, and individuals have different ideas about what is normal and so 'vanilla' has no direct meaning other than in relationship to the alternate under discussion. Examples of the opposite of vanilla therefore could be fetish, 24/7 slavery, or edgeplay.
The term 'vanilla' derives from the use of vanilla extract as the most popular flavouring for ice cream, and by extension meaning 'plain' or 'conventional'.
