I have been told that my marriage isn’t “serious” because we do not share a fascination with spanking. It has been implied that I am not a committed spanko because I married a vanilla.
On one hand, I think it is important for people to know that vanilla/spanko relationships are not always a formula for disaster. On the other hand, I don’t like having to defend myself for being in love with my spouse, who happens to be vanilla.
If it works, it works. That’s all.
