The pitch of the new moon is high in the night and the sun is nowhere to be seen. Across the vast distance of the horizon the bright stars are twinkling.

The night. The dark. This bed. It is ours to explore and we will.

With the lights off I feel brave. Freckle by freckle I kiss each one, or rather where I think they should be. My lips trail over your chest in a slow taste of salt and skin and I can't help but to nip your shoulder in defiant reverie. The dark sees my smile, the shy one I hide in the day, as I suppress my giggle of triumphant glee. But as your arms tighten around me, and your fingers lazily draw upon me, I feel the chuckle of your laugh in your lazed repose and I dive to your chest in bashful obscurity.

My lips cradle yours, your arms cradle me, and round us both cradles the dark of the night stretching on to a distant sunrise yet unseen.

Today's Vanilla theme day is the [Dark]. From date night kisses of Netflix and Chill to corn maze adventures on a midnight escape, let your imagination find the sweet vanilla side of The Dark, even if the sweet side of the dark is more like the embrace of death in a final kiss upon a maiden's lips.

EDIT: well....don't ask me for the day of the week, or directions, I am directionally and also daily challenged.

Also maybe this solves why I could not get the search to work so I will try the search again.

Because /r/dirtypenpals is a safe place for people to explore themselves, kinks and extreme fantasies always get a lot of exposure here. But we also love that sweet, sweet vanilla goodness, so we’d like to take some time to highlight that type of post and extend a special welcome to people who consider themselves more mild than wild.

Whether you're a veteran or new to the subreddit, please join us in exploring the vanilla side of DPP.

Vanilla Sunday Q&A

What is vanilla?

Vanilla is sexy stuff that doesn’t involve kinks, fetishes, or any particularly unusual setup. It's just about partners enjoying each others’ company.

Is this just for roleplay?

Not at all! We would totally love to see requests to chat about vanilla experiences or a dream vanilla date, as well as posts that are roleplay setups.

Why are we doing this?

Sex is awesome! Vanilla Sunday is all about highlighting some delicious vanilla offerings and encouraging people to explore them.

How does this work?

Don't worry, it's easy to do! Just make a post and tag it [Dark] so that people know you're looking for the sweet sexy stuff!

Can I post a vanilla [Share]?

Yes! Shares of vanilla interactions between you and a DPP partner are always welcomed. Be sure to get your partner's clear consent before posting.
