I'm curious to hear how others manage a relationship with someone who is vanilla.
In my own case, we have spent many conversations working out compromises. He loves vanilla sex, and I give him as much as I can - no faking orgasms, though, I'll tell him if I'm not going to come and he's welcome to use me until he comes (so in a very loose sense we aren't 100% vanilla). I in turn am free to seek BDSM partners, in real life or online, as long as I don't come home with bruises or scars. A bit limiting, but what freedom I have is exhilarating. He doesn't want to know anything about what I do, though, so I have to be very careful to 'hide the evidence' after any kind of activity.
What about you? Are you dating or married to someone vanilla? Are they aware of your BDSM nature? Are you able to explore it?
