I've heard queer identified kinksters use the word 'vanilla'.
on swinging: it's apples and oranges, but some groups of swingers (druggy barebackers) are definitely looked down upon by kinksters, butsome kinksters also swing.
Kink is and was largely closetted. The upper classes were able to do lots of stuff at various times because of their privilege, including be actively but quietly queer, patronise sex workers and so on.
What's kink? I would count spanking but not anal sex. It's basically alternative eroticism and/or perverse theatre stuff, often using trance or endorphins.
Kinky in my book means a fetish, an erotic perversion, a preference of certain acts rather than a different orientation or sex identity.(but no, I don't allow the ideas of some religion to decide what that is).
