I’m not a kinky bastard.
Strange postulation, is it not? Was I not the same one who typed My Sexual Fantasties all those years ago? True. But the key word there is fantasies. I can separate fantasy from reality. Those things which I’d like to do with those things which wouldn’t be quite right if I acted them out. Most of the time, at least.
I take issue with how the word “fetish” has become the ubiquitous antithesis to anything “vanilla”. Once again, society has fallen into the trap of classifying things to death. If you don’t prefer missionary (and only missionary), by golly, YOU MUST LIKE WHIPS AND CHAINS!
But again, the word fetish. Without using a dictionary, I know the word means a specific need for a certain stimulus that, without which, it becomes difficult to be sexual (if not impossible). Is it my intention to relegate fetish to the realm of the extreme? Yes! Fetish is an extreme word which has been degraded. Admiring feet is not a fetish. Liking your feet touched is not a fetish. Gaining sexual arousing from having your feet touched (and nothing else) is probably a fetish. Requiring your stimulation on your feet for sexual arousing is definitely a fetish.
One could contend that wanting missionary and only missionary is a fetish, as you fail to gain sexual satisfaction from any other venue. The vanilla becomes kinky. Curious thought, no?
Ah, now I start playing the word game. What do I mean by vanilla? What is meant by kinky?
What I mean by vanilla is what everybody else means by vanilla: plain sex without any imagination. May suit some people, but I consider it a negative word. The general meaning of kinky is sex that is “out of the ordinary”. Problem with that is that if everybody switched to anal sex, suddenly vaginal intercourse would become kinky. Maybe I shouldn’t define words so much…
So, I like sex. Most people do. And while I can hardly be considered “vanilla”, I don’t think I could be considered all that kinky, either. I may have kinks. But.. To me, being vanilla is lack of creativity. Lack of spontaneity. Lack of emotion.
I believe how we are during sex reflects our inner nature. I am a voracious lover. I want to give myself to my lover. And I want her to give herself to me. There’s nothing BDSM about it. It’s emotion. Aggression, passivity, creativity, passion; the bites on the neck, the whispers in the ear, the probing of places you wouldn’t dare let anybody else touch. Whips and chains? I don’t need whips and chains!
As for toys, they remain a window dressing. Something to toss in now and then. No different than how I am when I masturbate. Using a ManRammer every now and then is fun. Requiring the use of a ManRammer to gain sexual arousal is a fetish.
Maybe by my own definition I am a kinky bastard. I like variety. I’m an intense person.
But I consider myself quite normal. I think everything I desire is reasonable for the average person to desire. Most people are normal. That is what normal means, after all.
People who think that fetishes and fantasies are weird are those who don’t want to admit their own. Sexually constipated. That was a good entry. Made me….think, and stuff.

It’s also for people who spend waaaaaay too much time on the internet.

have you read orgasms for two- betty dodson? if not, you should.

This is hot. I agree. I’m not all crazy with the BDSM stuff and whatnot, but I like a little imagination. Last time hubby and I had sex, we experimented with taking pics of each other before and during. None of them came out any good, but it was kind of fun. Never done that before.
Warning Comment
Well. As long as you were going to thusly extract it, maybe I’ll read your entry. MAYBE.
Warning Comment
Yes, I think a strict devotion to completely missionary style heterosexual sex could be classified as a kink. Most people are a little more felxible than that, and often have sex in different ways.
Warning Comment
But I still maintain that knowing “laws” that are wholly applicable to the internet won’t help you out much.
Warning Comment
Oh, Tinmmy. Surely you must realize it’s satire?
Warning Comment
Yeah, you do. Tell you what, let’s meet at Great Adventure sometime. I missed out on all the good rollercoasters this year. 🙁

ryn: http://www.bettydodson.com She’s 80 or so with a 25 yr old live-in lover. I bow down to her. The book (most of it) rocks.
Warning Comment
I try to go once a year. have you been on the Superman rollercoaster? BEST ONE EVER. Oh, man.
Warning Comment
I’m pretty sure Hydra is at Great Adventure. I’m pretty sure that’s the one I missed. WAAAAAH. Next season, I’ll go. God, I hate missing a season there. 🙁 Never been to Dorney Park. It looks lame. Isn’t it in Pennsylvania?
Warning Comment
Nope,you’re right, Hydra was at Dorney Park. Kingdom Ka or some such bullshit was the new GA ride.
Warning Comment
Oh, I’m strictly turnpike to GA. But Dorney Park is in Allentown. I fear beggars.
Warning Comment
And luckily my rollercoaster experience has always been pure joy. Sickening, gut pulling joy, but not fear. I don’t know. Something about G forces makes me just grin and feel mindlessly happy. Although the very first time I went on Lightening Loops, I felt a little loopy. I was twleve. A year later, the ride got stuck and I think someone died. Maybe THAT’S why I love GA so much…
Warning Comment
GA has seen more than one death. You might not remember, but in 1982, right after our 7th grade class went there on a school field trip, the Haunted House burned down, and I think 10 people died from smoke inhalation. Maybe that’s why GA is so attractive to me – every time I visit and survive, I feel immortal.
Warning Comment
Oh, yeah, and in about 1984, 85, 86, 87, some people got knifed in the Rolling Rapids ride. I remember after our senior prom in 88, we all joked nervously about how we had knives and were going to use them. Ahh, Jersey nostalgia.

yes, yes *nods* My cherries are quite unforgettable. *grins* Theres SO many ways to make that dirty. But I won’t go there. lol.

Oh, yeah, South Jersey is totally “country”. But the country meets the city in about Ocean County. I am totally in the heart of bumblefuck South Jersey – Like at the very wset end of Atlantic County. North and South Jersey might as well be different states, but South Jersey is getting a whole lot more developed because the casinos are a huge employer.
Warning Comment
But you would probably like AC now. You should visit here, and spend LOTS of money. Pump up the old South Jersey economy.
Warning Comment
There are many buses which will take you to AC, and give you in rolls of quarters what you spend on bus fare, and which will provide you with a nice on-bus bathroom, and will take you back home, even if you’re piss drunk. We may be country down here, but we aren’t dumb. We fully expect you to piss away those quarters on slots, but if you play blackjack, you’ll usually break even.
Warning Comment
Well, nickle slots are kinda fun. I mean, you still lose on slots – that’s why they’re there, and overall you totally lose on slots, (only Long Island yentas and the seriously deluded play slots for real, and, thankfully, there are MANY of those types) but there are some really fun nickle slots with video displays that are quite funny. Here’s my philosophy on slots…
Warning Comment
You play the nickles, lose about $20, and drink at least that on comp drinks served to you by cocktail waitresses with nice, round asses who pretend to like you. Video poker garners even less a return than nickle slots, though it makes you feel like you have some control over things. But blackjack, as long as you know how to play it and can find a low stakes table, will garner you…
Warning Comment
…at least a $20 loss, and very likely a $5 win, and STILL you get the free drinks. Now real poker, which I have never played in a casino, is true gambling. That is truly dependent on skill. All the rest, the house wins, but the house lets you slide on blackjack so you’ll think gambling is fun.
Warning Comment
Maybe it doesn’t let you slide, but if you really want to gamble a little, I recommend low stakes blackjack.
Warning Comment
“Fetish” has been watered down and “trendized.” It’s too hard to even go into…maybe because it’s so deeply entrenched in my field of study. Hmph. Over it for the evening,

Vanilla is kinky … there is no spoon! *nods*
