A quickie refers to a brief or spontaneous episode of sexual activity, with the act finishing in a very short amount of time.
Generally, the term presupposes that foreplay is skipped and that at least one of the partners climaxes. A quickie may involve intercourse or be limited to manual or oral sex. A quickie between a heterosexual couple may generally satisfy only the man's desire, but, with some form of stimulation of the vulva, can be satisfactory for a woman as well. It, however, may not provide a woman enough time to lubricate naturally, and so the use of an artificial water-based lubricant may be required. Quickies may be a solution to unequal sexual desire in a relationship, but if they become the only form of sex, the relationship may suffer. Author and psychologist Joel Block has suggested that the quickie is a necessary part of a relationship, and suggests practical ways for both partners to enjoy the experience.
