For me vanilla means un-energetic, un-enthusiastic, etc.

For instance I could watch a DP movie and think it's vanilla, if the boys are tip fucking the girl
and the pace of the penetration is too slow. If they are not using their hands to arouse her, no kissing, etc.

In other words, it's 'vanilla' porn when it's pathetic.

For this reason I could watch vaginal porn and think its hardcore, rough, intense and FUN.

You apply the second part of that definition vanilla = dull

By calling DDF a vanilla studio I was refering to both definitions of course. DDF shoots a lot of conventional sex, especially pussy friendly porn sex. Just on top they also often slow down the action, shoot boring conventional unadventurous 1on1 scenes etc.

I also used the term as opposite to LP. Both studios have the same owner now. But they represent two sides of that porn coin. It's fine. And in business terms it's good to cover both consumer segments. About 10 years ago I used to watch quite a bit of Denys Defrancos works, but now I am at LP, and this is the LP forum. And I don't want DDF vanilla elements to invade LP anal friendly hardcore porn. Some DDF esthetic elements of how to dress up the girls or some DDF fetishes like foot play could make a nice addition combined with real LP style hardcore anal.

To sum it up: Vanilla for sure is conventional pussy sex. DP is not vanilla per se, but if it's just an excuse to shoot long anal only pre-DP sections it is. Non-STA scene starts are vanilla. Slow dull tip fucking anal/do/dap is borderline vanilla, too.
(all old DDF/Swamp DVD daps were complete vanilla by today's LP standards)
