All the women ik say the men need to be less vanilla. And that doesn’t necessarily mean slapping and stuff, it can be other things like role play or dominating the men instead. But a lot of men don’t like that stuff and it’s boring. Just something else to spice things up would be nice yk.
Choking and slapping are both parts of bdsm, so can’t be considered actually vanilla. Really any kink is considered non vanilla, so vanilla is basically your normal sex acts with nothing added on (outdoors stuff, role play, tying, physical or emotional “punishment,” name-calling, leather, whipping/spanking, choking and slapping, and cucking to name a few are all not vanilla)
