Some of the hottest, most exciting sex I've had has been quick and spontaneous, and research backs it up.
Fast, passionate romps can be just as pleasurable - sometimes even better for your relationship. They flood your brain with dopamine, giving you an instant mood boost, and oxytocin, which strengthens your bond, both in and out of the bedroom.
I’ve had my fair share of naughty, stolen moments. One that stands out was a late-night rendezvous with my lover to a secluded beach car park.
We got down to business in record time, and the rush of having to be quick - along with the excitement of possibly getting caught - only intensified the pleasure.

As a busy, working mum, I’ve found quickies are a game-changer for couples like us who don’t always have time for long sessions.
They bring back that thrill, that spark, and help us keep that ‘just met’ sex alive. And when you’re working with limited time, it naturally pushes you to experiment with new places, new positions, and new ways to connect.
From setting sex alarms to dressing for the, ahem, occasion, I reveal my guide to keeping it short and sweet…
Set a sex alarm
Why wake up groggy when you can wake up giddy? Ditch the solo shower and invite your partner in for a morning quickie. It’s the perfect way to kick start your day with a boost of feel-good hormones.

Just one rule - invest in a non-slip mat! Nothing kills the mood like an unexpected trip to A&;E.
Dress wisely
A well-planned outfit can turn a quickie from frantic fumbling to seamless seduction. A flowy dress or skirt? Perfect for a swift steamy session. Tight jeans with a tricky belt? A passion killer.

Think zips over buttons, and leave the complicated fastenings at home - because when the moment strikes, every second counts.
Sext for foreplay
Send your partner a cheeky snap or a flirty message to get them revved up before the real action begins.
Mental foreplay isn’t just fun - it builds serious anticipation, making the main event even hotter. The more turned-on you are before you touch, the better your chances of hitting the big O.
Location, location, location
Take sex out of the bedroom! Research shows that getting it on somewhere new - and a little bit naughty - can deepen intimacy and make things feel even hotter.
Sharing an exhilarating experience in a risque location boosts emotional connection and brings that thrill of the forbidden. Think: car parks, secluded beaches, or hidden spots in the park.
Just one rule - don’t get caught!
Talk dirty
When done right, dirty talk can seriously enhance intimacy and pleasure in the bedroom.
While men tend to be more turned on by visual stimuli, women go weak at the knees for auditory cues, research shows.
Sounds like moaning, changes in breathing, and the sound of your partner’s voice can heighten arousal.
Sensual sounds and verbal communication, such as expressing desire or engaging in dirty talk, take things up a notch, making the experience even more thrilling.

Embrace spontaneity
While a little prep can help, don’t get bogged down in the details. Some of the best quickies are unexpected and deliciously naughty. And remember - great sex doesn’t have to end in orgasm.
It’s about the journey, not just the destination. So savour the rush of a stolen moment - that’s where the real thrill lies.
Hottest TV quickies
Who says passion needs to be slow and steady? Some of the steamiest moments in TV and film have been blink-and-you’ll-miss-it quickies —proving that a few fiery seconds can be just as sizzling as an all-night romp...
- Sex/Life (Series 1): There are plenty of raunchy moments in this erotic series, in which a suburban mother takes a fantasy-charged trip down memory lane, and this nightclub quickie in the very first scene is one of them. Billie Connelly (Sarah Shahi) and roguish boyfriend Brad Simon (Adam Demos) circle one another on the dance floor before he leads her into a back room and pushes her against the wall. He removes her knickers with his teeth before they have sex against the wall, knowing they could be caught at any moment.
- Lady Chatterley’s Lover (Barn scene): This historic drama, starring Emma Corrin as Connie Reid and Jack O’Connell as Oliver Mellors is based on DH Lawrence’s 1928 novel - which was banned in the UK until 1960 due to its X-rated content. This steamy scene sees Connie and Oliver kissing passionately inside a barn and sighing into one another’s mouths while the rain pours outside. “We can’t stay long, someone will notice,” Connie breathes, pausing only to lift her dress before she and Oliver start getting it on.
- Westworld (Season 1): Most people would grab an extinguisher if their home were to catch fire, but when flames surround Maeve Millay (Thandiwe Newton) and Hector Escaton (Rodrigo Santoro) they only reach for each other. Maeve murmurs: “This is where it gets hot.” Time is against them as they grind dangerously on one another with flames spreading across the room. The pair of them are seen in silhouettes having passionate sex as everything burns around them.
- Grey’s Anatomy (Season 2): When it comes to having sex in the workplace, a quickie is the only option - as doctors Alex Karev (Justin Chambers) and Izzie Stevens (Katherine Heigl) prove as they get it on in a store cupboard at Seattle Grace Hospital. Standing in her bra and scrubs, Izzie tells her on-off lover: "I'm horny, I'm half-naked, and I'm saying yes. Do you want to stand there and talk metaphors or do you want to literally take off your pants?" Needless to say, he takes off his pants.
- Gossip Girl (Season 3): Serena van der Woodsen (Blake Lively) and Nate Archibold (Chase Crawford) start their day by getting down and dirty with a quickie on the kitchen floor before heading out to brunch. What begins with Blake in her nightshirt, playfully stealing Nate’s toast, soon sees the pair wrapped around each other and pressed up against the fridge. From feeding one another whipped cream and strawberries, to rubbing caramel into one another’s bodies, breakfast time doesn’t get sexier than this.
- The Night Manager (Season 1): Jed Marshall (Elizabeth Debicki) and Jonathan Pine (Tom Hiddleston) have only a short time to sneak away together while her partner, villainous arms dealer Richard Roper (Hugh Laurie) is out. The sexual tension having mounted over previous episodes, the lovers waste no time once they get inside in Jonathan’s hotel room, barely closing the door before he pushes her against the wall, pulls down his trousers and they make love against the wall. The potential for them to be caught in the act only heightens the stakes.
