Weirded out

Okay, so here’s the deal: I have a new friend, a cute 27 year old woman who has been emailing me and being generally pleasant and chatty. She’s a professional in the local entertainment media, and we chat - via email - about just how things are in life. She has wondered about how to [...]

A Parable…

One day, when a seamstress was sewing while sitting close to a river, her thimble fell into the river. When she cried out, the Lord appeared and asked, “My dear child, why are you crying?”
The seamstress replied that her thimble had fallen into the water and that she needed it to help her husband in [...]

Stereotypical Joke

Jokes are a great way to study culture because they often portray those things that people may think without being willing to admit publicly. I subscribe to a joke-a-day list, and like most of you, I get dozens of stale jokes forwarded to me from well-meaning friends who have yet to learn how to cut [...]

The Puerile Cuckoo

Okay, fasten your seat belts, because I feel a rant coming on.
The Edge of Vanilla gets a lot of hits from people searching on male chastity and orgasm denial. Those kinks overlap with others, among which are: BDSM, transvestism, tease & denial, female domination, D/s, and cuckolding.
Personally, I don’t understand the attraction of wanting to [...]

Advice or adverse?

For those of you who may not have heard of him, Dan Savage is an advice columnist (Savage Love) that is most definitely not from the Dear Abby school. He is a direct, to the point, no-holds-barred writer who’s not afraid to tackle a wide range of sex questions. While he does get a few [...]

Dating Scene

“Of course I want dessert. What, are you in a hurry or something?”
We were at one of those upscale Italian restaurants. You know the kind: they are usually named after an island in the Mediterranean, the waiters are named after one of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Terrapins, and where you can’t get spaghetti; instead you [...]

Rika does Vanilla!

Okay, here’s something that I rarely do - have a guest blogger here on The Edge of Vanilla.
Of course, I’ve never asked anyone before, either.
Anyway, long-time web surfers looking for femdom-related readings have no doubt stumbled across the Uniquely Rika web site, hosted by Ms. Rika, a non-pro dominatrix who runs an informational web forum [...]

Harnessed

My wrists strained against the velcro “luv cuffs” and the thick, cotton terry on which I was lying was warm on my back as my wife knelt between my legs and pushed the well-lubed dildo against my ass. The pain was dull, but short-lived as the large bloopy tip eased past my sphincter muscle. I [...]

How to dominate a dominant woman

Because, you know, they all secretly want to be submissive. Not to mention that they will respect men who do this.
I ran across this interesting tidbit this afternoon, and I knew my friends would all get something out of this.
We often associate dominant women with whips, chains and a pitiful man groveling at their feet [...]

Transformative Orgasm Denial

Maymay had an interesting insight as to why so many chastity and orgasm denial blogs don’t seem to last very long.
Things that are are more interesting than things that are not.
Which is nothing new to you, I’m sure, but might provide some kind of insight to some reader sometime in the future from when I’m [...]
