1 - a type of foodstuff grown in a pod
2 - straight down the line, boring sex, with as little foreplay as possible, the kind of sex that the Catholic Church (proud sponsors of this year's Republican party) want you to have, if you have to have sex at all, and if you're married.
The sex was all right, but she's a bit vanilla for me.

For someone that has never had sex yet, Britney isn't exactly your everyday, plain Jane, typical, vanilla virgin. I mean have you seen how she acts around both guys and girls, what she wears everyday, and just how many people she's dated?! It's just crazy to think that SHE hasn't had sex yet.

Nature's favorite form of torture. It smells wonderful, but tastes FUCKING AWFUL by itself. This means you experience and desire great tastes, but don't actually get to satisfy your want. Quench your need. Make you happy. Oh no, you can only smell and wish.

(While some coffee is like this in the fact that it smells better than it tastes, vanilla smells better than any coffee I've ever smelled. Vanilla > You.)

It's also the most common ice cream flavor.
*Man first discovered vanilla*

Hmmm... this smell good. *drinks* ... *spits out* MAN, THIS TASTE LIKE SHIT!

Why, WHY does this odor torture me so?
The scent fills my nose with wonderful thoughts... yet my mouth lacks the same feeling. *cries*

In the swinging lifestyle, "vanilla" means anyone who is not a swinger. Term used ONLY within the swinger community to describe friends or aquaintances who are not involved in the lifestyle. Most of you reading this are vanilla and don't even realize it.
We won't be able to play at Dave & Jen's pool party.. there will be some vanilla couples there.

Term used by those who consider themselves "hardcore" BDSM aficionados to describe anyone they perceive as less dedicated than themselves to kink, although it originally described one who is not in the BDSM scene.
ME: So I restrained her with steel chains (affixed to my bed using hammered-in rivets), teased her skin with a red-hot poker and pulled out her hair before inviting a local biker gang into the room to take turns sodomising her before slitting her throat and tossing her limp body into the local landfill.
