Quickies sometimes get a bad rap. Magazines and television are forever telling us that sex has to be some kind of slow, sensuous production—and that can be great, but it doesn't mean there’s no merit to wham-bam-thank-you-ma’am. Here are six of the best reasons to get down to it with your partner of choice at the very next chance you get.
You’ll maintain a sexual connection even when you’re both extremely busy. All couples find that their sex life waxes and wanes over time. If you’re having a particularly busy month without much time to spend alone together, you might feel like you’re losing the sexual connection you once had—but a few illicit quickies can set that right without throwing your schedules out.
Furtive secrecy is a lot of fun. Ten minutes of shenanigans in the bathroom at a party can liven up your night no end. Who doesn't like having the occasional filthy secret to keep? You’ll walk back out there with a smile on your face, and the memory will keep you going all night long.
A quickie here and there will do your mood and health a world of good. Sex has all manner of benefits—and not just to your relationship and your libido. The endorphins produced by sexual activity can alleviate stress, boost your metabolism and improve your mental health. How’s that for something you can get done in a very satisfying quarter of an hour?
Having quickies won’t mean you have fewer marathons—in fact, the opposite is probably true. The libido is, for most people, a bit like a muscle; the more sex you’re having, the more sex you’re likely to want. That and it'll break up the rhythm: sex doesn't always have to be an hour-long ordeal. A few quickies can fuel the fire for a lot more.
There’s something incredible about tearing each other’s clothes open as fast as you can, desperate to get to the part you've been thinking about all day. The feeling of being irresistible is pretty amazing from both sides, and a quickie is a great way to create it.
The opportunities suddenly seem endless. Embracing the quickie opens you up to a whole new world of sexual adventure. You’ll have a lot of fun figuring out where to go and when you can get away with it—and you’ll end up with some brilliant stories to tell your friends.
