What Does Quickie Mean in Sex?
Let’s get straight to it: a quickie means fast sex. It’s usually spontaneous, involves minimal undressing, and doesn’t last long - think 5 to 10 minutes of action. But don’t let the short duration fool you. A quickie can still bring the fireworks.
A sex quickie isn't about skipping satisfaction - it’s about riding that wave of urgency, getting physical quickly, and still enjoying the release. It’s also not about ignoring your partner’s needs. A successful quickie leaves you both panting, grinning, and wondering how you can squeeze another one in tomorrow.
The Perks and Pitfalls of a Sex Quickie
There are always to sides to a story, so let’s take a look at some of the pros and cons of quickies:
Pro: Quickies are perfect for breaking routines. They keep your sex life fun, flexible, and full of excitement. A stolen moment in the middle of the day can feel more thrilling than hours under the covers. It’s all about the urgency - when you know time is short, every touch counts.
Pro: They’re also ideal for busy lives. You don’t need candles, sexy lingerie, or long playlists - just desire, a bit of privacy, and a willing partner.
Con: Both parties might not move at the same pace. Because things happen quickly, there's a risk of leaving someone behind - emotionally or physically. If there's no communication, it can feel a bit one-sided.
Con: Less time for warm-up. There’s also less time for warm-up, which means that one or both parties can experience dryness, stiff muscles, and general physical discomfort. Just remember that a quickie doesn’t have to be rushed - it’s more about taking advantage of a moment to act on your desire for each other.
How to Have a Quickie – Step-by-Step
Let’s break it down. You don’t have time to fumble when it’s a quickie, so here’s how to do it right:
Step 1: Signal the Spark
Sometimes, a look is all it takes. Other times, a whispered suggestion or playful text gets things going. The key is to make sure both of you are on board and eager for some fast fun.
Step 2: Choose Your Location
A quickie in bed is always a safe bet, especially for morning romps. But don’t be afraid to get creative - bathrooms, kitchens, hallways, even the garage (if you’re daring) can work. Just be mindful of comfort and privacy.
Step 3: Keep Clothes Convenient
Skirts, open zips, stretchy fabrics - these are your friends. The less undressing needed, the faster you can get to the good stuff.
Step 4: Add Some Lube
Especially when you’re skipping long foreplay. A water-based lubricant from Sinful makes sure things stay slick and comfy even when you’re racing against the clock.
Step 5: Enjoy, But Be Present
Quick doesn’t mean rushed. Be playful, tease, moan, and move with intention. The energy is raw - use it.
The Best Positions for a Quickie - Wherever You Are
When time’s ticking, the right position can make all the difference, so here’s our five best bids on how to get in, get off, and get on with your day:
Best Position for a Quickie: Over-the-Counter Doggy
This is the top pick for a reason. Whether it’s the bed edge, a sturdy table, or a kitchen counter, bending over gives you easy access and control. It’s perfect for deep penetration and great angles - fast, stable, and super satisfying.
Stand-Up Quickie: Against the Wall or in the Shower
If you’re looking for an instant fix, the stand-up quickie is your go-to. In the bathroom, press your partner against the tiles or the shower wall. The slick surface and wet skin add a naughty twist. Bonus: no clean-up required.
Quickie in Bed: Spoon and Go
Spooning from behind or missionary with lifted hips are ideal when you're in bed and only have a few minutes. They’re comfy, require little movement, and still hit the right spots.
Lap and Lift: Take a Seat for Quick Satisfaction
Have one partner sit on a firm surface like a kitchen counter, bathroom sink, or the washing machine, while the other stands between their legs, creating a face-to-face position that’s both intimate and incredibly satisfying. And if the washing machine’s running, those extra vibrations might just tip things over the edge.
Cowgirl on the Couch: Ride It Between the Credits
Sprawled on the sofa, one partner lies back while the other straddles and rides them - perfect for a steamy break between TV scenes. It’s face-to-face, intensely pleasurable, and ideal for when you’ve only got a few minutes to spare. Plus, you’re already comfy, so why not make the most of it?

Need to get down and dirty in a dash? These seven tips will help you make every second count.
