It seems to me that you vanilla types can’t stop talking about it, either

Ha! Who said I was vanilla? You shouldn’t presume. Heh

Oh, please. If you weren’t a Suzy Homemaker type you wouldn’t be making digs at it.

Polyamorous people can be pretty--even painfully--vanilla, notwithstanding the non-monogamy. And plenty of monogamous people are very unvanilla (whatever the opposite of vanilla is). Making digs at how painfully awkward a lot of poly people doesn't mean that PP is vanilla.

A part of the appeal of polyamory is that frumpy HR klatch types in librarian glasses can feel like they are “kinky” and “trangressive”, even when they have reduced sex and love to something as joyless as following the byzantine rules of the world’s most unpleasant board game. This is why it attracts nerds and the neurodivergent in droves.

Do you...know what "klatch" means? Because the way you have used it in this sentence is completely meaningless and inapposite.

klatch - a social gathering, especially for coffee and conversation. 1950s: from German Klatsch ‘gossip’.
