What Is Quickie Sex?

A quickie is a brief sexual encounter. These fast sex acts, either with yourself or a partner, can release tension and increase intimacy.

4 Quickie Sex Positions

A lovemaking session can be quick. If you don’t have enough time to engage in foreplay or elaborate sex positions, consider these quick sex acts that can take just a few minutes:

  1. 1. Oral sex: Giving or receiving oral sex can be a fast track to orgasm. You can perform oral sex with one partner kneeling and the other standing, sitting, or squatting.
  2. 2. Mutual masturbation: If the goal is for both partners to reach orgasm, try mutual masturbation. Watch each other masturbate, or stimulate each other’s nipples or genitals while lying or sitting down. Turn a morning shower into a quickie by masturbating with the help of silicone-based lube, a handheld shower head, and/or a waterproof sex toy.
  3. 3. Make-out session: Making out is an arousal trigger that can lead to deep kissing and sexual touching. Start your kissing session by slow-dancing with your partner or sharing a long hug. To add pleasure, kiss each other’s neck and ears, and touch each other's erogenous zones.
  4. 4. Doggy style: Doggy style is a penatrative sex position that will also give you and your partner the ability to self-stimulate. If the receiving partner has a vulva, they can use a vibrator on their clitoris while the other partner penetrates their vagina. If the receiving partner has a penis, they can masturbate while the other partner stimulates their anus.

6 Quickie Sex Tips

No matter how you execute your sex session, these tips can enhance your quickie.

  1. 1. Build anticipation. Build tension and anticipation before the event by sexting each other, doing Kegel exercises, or exchanging touches throughout the day. If you’re mentally aroused, you’ll be able to get physically aroused more quickly.
  2. 2. Focus on one partner. To make the most of your quick session, prioritize pleasure for one partner. This can build sexual tension for future sexual acts. For example, if you perform oral sex on your partner in the morning, they can return the favor later that night.
  3. 3. Get creative. One of the advantages of a quickie is that it's often spontaneous. If you feel aroused, stay where you are to capture the excitement of the moment. Novelty can be a huge turn-on, so try engaging in sex in a new location—even if it is not as comfortable as your bed.
  4. 4. Keep your clothes on. You don't have to get fully undressed to have sex. Not only will this save time, but keeping some of your clothing will add a sense of urgency and eroticism.
  5. 5. Make eye contact. One way to feel connected to your partner during a short session is to look deep into their eyes.
  6. 6. Learn about breath. To make the most of a brief sexual encounter, focus on your breath to keep you grounded and present. You can enhance intimacy by matching your partner's breathing. Experiment with shorter and longer breaths, and see how breathing affects your sexual experience.
