'Vanillas'
So in the world of sex, there are two categories: kinky and vanilla. Kinky is where people are into stuff that goes beyond traditional sex, like restraints, orgasm control, and butt plugs. Vanilla is anything that involves regular anal, oral, or vaginal sex. Sometimes vanilla people use kinky once in a while to spice things up. Sometimes they come to the kinky side permanently. Vanillas sometimes badmouth the kinky people because they don't understand or they're just closed-minded and/or judgmental. Some kinky people have not been very nice to the vanillas either. One reason is that some of them may have been hurt by the vanillas. There is no shame in being kinky or vanilla. The thing is that we need to stop shaming each other or talking bad about each other. Just because you don't understand or agree with someone doesn't give you the right to be mean, judgmental, or rude.

Types of Condoms
One of the ways we can practice safer sex is by ensuring we are using protective barriers, such as condoms. Some people think that condoms ruin sex but along with keeping us safe, many condoms are designed to enhance pleasure. It's all about figuring out what kind of condoms you prefer for which activities. Which one you choose will depend on your needs and preferences. There are a lot of different kinds of condoms to choose from but they do fall into three basic categories: external, internal, and oral.

Vaginal sex is what most people think of when they talk about sex. It is often primarily thought of as a penis entering a vulva and into the vagina, but that is only one part of vaginal sex. It is actually the penetration of something into the vagina. The penetration could be from fingers, a penis, or a toy of some kind. All of these things count as vaginal sex.
