Vanilla sex

Blümchensex refers to gentle, romantic or playfully affectionate sex. The focus is often on closeness, kissing, touching, cuddling and an overall careful approach to one another. The term is usually colloquial and sets itself apart from more experimental or more intense sexual practices.

It is important to note that “Blümchensex” is not a fixed medical or technical category, but a loose description. For some people it means deliberately restrained sexual behaviour; for others, it simply means a loving, uncomplicated kind of sex. What matters most is always the consent of everyone involved and a respectful attitude.
