If you thought quickies can't be romantic, we are here to tell you otherwise

Most often than not, our days feel like a ride on the Ferrari World roller coaster—fast-paced to a point where every moment seems hazy. Endless task lists leave us little to no time (and energy) to ourselves, and it’s days like these that make it difficult for us to spend quality time with our partners. Most days, a full-blown session of hot and steamy sex is out of the question and for such days, we have—quickies. However, the tight deadline doesn’t mean the session has to be in-out and done. It can still be satisfying, oh-so-pleasurable, and romantic.   

Consider this a handbook to turning your quickies into something more meaningful! 

Make time for the build-up  

While we understand the thrill of a quickie is its spontaneity and quickness, they don’t have to be a disconnected one-and-done thing. The fact is that “the act” is not the only aspect of a quickie, especially if you want to make yours more romantic. There needs to be some sort of build-up—we’re talking sexy photos or texts describing what you want to do to them or what you want them to do to you. Maybe some short role play. Basically, anything that makes you both look forward to devouring each other even if you don’t have hours and hours. 

The build-up will not only make y'all hotter for each other, but will also work to increase your sexual connection. There is something so sexy about teasing each other all day, don’t you agree?  

Stick to your tried and tested position  

Before you raise your eyebrows at us and wonder why we aren’t telling you to experiment in order to spice things up and add in some romance, hear us out. Quickies are thrilling enough by themselves. They are meant to get the job done...and fast. And the best way to do that and still feel all gooey from within (figuratively) is to stick to a position y'all have perfected. This way you aren’t wasting time figuring out something new in the limited time you have and still get to enjoy each other. 

But you can experiment with the location you choose. And by this we mean—ditch the bed. Hop into the shower, try the couch or a chair. Every corner in your house has quickie potential, you just need to recognise it. If you have some time beforehand or have an inkling of what is about to happen, you could try lighting some candles and dimming the lights to set a mood. Not limiting your location options will automatically make things hotter and more romantic. It doesn’t have to be one or the other. 

Block out the distractions 

We get it, it’s sometimes it’s difficult to tear away from work or whatever else that is keeping you. However, giving your partner even a few minutes of undivided attention (especially in the form of a quickie) can go a long way in the romance department. Turn off your computer, put your phone on airplane mode, and just solely focus on your partner for whatever limited time you have on hand. Trust us, blocking out all the distractions will lead to some amazing, toe-curling quickie quick sex! 

Don’t forget eye contact  

What if you have only 10 minutes to devour each other? Eye contact can make any kind of sex more intimate and romantic. Of course, this means you’ll have to choose a position that lets you face each other, so doggy is out (even though that is one of the best quickie positions!). You could try the classic cowgirl position or even face race!

Just gazing into each other’s eyes and holding each other as close as possible can make even a short session hot, heavy, and incredibly romantic. 

Orgasms aren't the goal  

Just like orgasms aren’t the goal during a full-fledged night of passionate lovemaking, they aren’t the goal during a quickie either. If you focus solely on climaxing, you will miss out on the rest of the fun. Instead, focus on your partner and enjoy the journey leading up to the climax. Whether both of you finish in that limited time is secondary. The actual goal is pleasure and reconnecting with each other (literally and figuratively!)
