How to Have A Quickie: Vella's Quick Sex Tips

A lot of good can happen in a little bit of time—lunch breaks, kid’s naptime, in between meetings.

How to Have A Quickie: Vella's Quick Sex Tips

Me: I want you. NOW.
Partner: I’ll be home in 10

Me: I’m naked on the couch.
Partner: In the car now.

When the mood strikes, it’s time to get down to business. A lot of good can happen in a little bit of time—lunch breaks, kid’s naptime, in between meetings. Sometimes all you’ve got is mere minutes before the next task or person beckons, but that doesn’t mean you can’t make the most of those moments. One thing's for certain, you should never underestimate the power of a quickie.

How to Have a Quickie

A quickie is exactly that–a speedy sex session. They aren’t leisure vacation sexcapades. While those are great, they’re not always practical. A quickie can give you all the thrills and chills without taking up too much time. Not only can they be heart-pounding fun, they’re also beneficial to your physical, mental, and emotional health.

Quickies Can…

1. Strengthen Your Immune System

According to Newsweek, frequent sex can impact the immune system because it triggers the body's natural defenses in positive ways.

2. Relieve Stress

Physical touch, whether that be with a partner or solo, can release the hormone called oxytocin. This hormone reduces blood pressure and cortisol levels which allow the body and mind to decompress.

3. Enhance Your Bond with Your Partner

The “love hormone” oxytocin can also promote positive social behaviors of trust, empathy, bonding, and communication. The more you engage in pleasurable moments, the more oxytocin you produce. This means the more quickies you have, the more connected you will feel to your significant other.

“The more you engage in pleasurable moments, the more oxytocin [love hormone] you produce. Which means the more quickies you have, the more connected you will feel to your significant other.”

4. Improve Sleep

The reduction of cortisol levels following sexual delight has a calming effect on the mind so you can sleep better. Orgasms also tell the body to create vasopressin, which accompanies the production of your neuroprotective hormone melatonin. Melatonin is the hormone that controls our wake and sleep cycle.

5. Boost Confidence

Everyone loves to feel desired. It’s a shot of adrenaline and ego, when your partner needs you, right then and there.

6. Turn That Frown Upside Down

Sexual activity releases the happy hormone duo–serotonin and dopamine. These hormones stabilize our moods, give us a sense of well-being, inspire motivation, and allow us to enjoy life better. On the flip side, a lack of these hormones can lead to depression. Which is another reason you need to come, often.

Ways to Amplify the Minutes You’ve Got 

1. Talk Dirty

Our brains are one of the most powerful erogenous zones because it processes what we see, touch, hear, smell, and taste. For both men and women, words matter. So say those naughty things in their ear…
“I want to push you deep inside me.”
“Make me come.”
“Lick me.”

2. Add A Vibrator

“Sometimes when it comes to orgasms and quickie sex, women can get shortchanged a little bit,” says New York City sex therapist Ian Kerner, Ph.D., author of She Comes First. If coming quickly isn’t quick for you, then Dr. Kerner recommends adding a vibrator to the mix to make sure you finish just like your partner.

3. Vella Women’s Pleasure Serum

Need that extra boost in arousal for the quick game? We’ve got you covered. Our pleasure serum massages into the vaginal tissues to relax the smooth muscle and stimulate intense and satisfying orgasms. This product helps to ensure that both parties finish.

4. Opt for Oral

Not every quickie has to be penetrative. When you have little time, but plenty of pent-up tension, oral can be the sex of choice. One easy position for either partner is the “Heir to the Throne”. The receiving partner will sit on a chair—or bench, table, floor, whatever—with their legs spread, and the giving partner

5. Go Solo

Pull out the aforementioned pleasure serum and a vibrator. Enough said.

Five Explosive Positions For Quickies 

1. Stairway To Heaven

How to do it: Find a staircase. You will kneel in front of your partner a step above them. Both of you should be facing the stairs with your bodies pressed tightly together. While you hold onto the banister or the stairs, your partner will grab your hips and thrust inside. This pose allows the penetrating partner to use the incline of the staircase to enter at an upward tilt, allowing them unlimited access to your G-spot. 

Bonus quickie sex tip: With each thrust, push your buttocks into him for added pressure. Your partner can reach a hand around to stimulate your clit while you reach through your legs to grope his testicles. Talk about a stairway to heaven!

2. Twist and Shout


How to do it: Lie on a countertop (maybe an office desk) that is hip level with your partner. While you twist your legs to one side, your partner will stay standing and enter you from the side.

Bonus quickie sex tip: This position not only gives a new angle but also adds more friction because your legs are pressed together as your partner thrusts. Explore variety in this position by propping yourself up on your forearms and leaning into the movement. Make it extra hot by wearing a skirt without underwear.

3. Rock 'n' Roll

How To Do It: This is penetrating-partner-on-top with a twist. Lie on your back, bringing your knees up to your chin. Your partner will lie on top of you while you rest your calves on the back of their shoulders. For extra leverage, grab hold of their upper arms while they come inside you.

Bonus quickie sex tip: You can adjust how wide or narrow you have your legs spread. The wider you spread, the closer your lover can come for some lip action. And hey, don’t forget that your hands are free to explore their body!

4. The Phyton

How To Do It: Have your lover lie flat on their back with legs together and arms at their sides. You will straddle them on your knees, lowering yourself onto his penis. Once he's fully inside you, slowly stretch out so you're lying straight on top of him, aligned limb-to-limb. Use your hands and arms to slither back and forth. For added leverage, ask him to keep his feet flexed, then push against them with your toes.


Bonus quickie sex tip: With your bodies completely overlapping, enjoy the sensations of your nipples rubbing against your partner’s chest, your thighs warming under the friction, and the stimulation of your clitoris against their skin.

5. Pillow Party

How To Do It: Pile several pillows beneath your upper body for support. Your partner will kneel behind you, lifting your legs and resting them on either side of their hips. They can use their hands to stroke your clitoris or breasts while entering. This position offers simultaneous stimulation to both of you.

Bonus quickie sex tip: This position feels so good, it won’t last long for your penetrating partner. In order for you to finish, we suggest using a vibrator and/or the Women’s Pleasure Serum.

We all know how busy schedules can be, but your sex life can still be prioritized. Take advantage of your spare minutes and better yet, have fun with the time crunch. Try keeping on portions of your clothing, do it in a risky location, and be spontaneous! Remember, a quickie doesn’t have to be full intercourse. “The idea is to have fun spontaneously, and keep the energy flowing,” says Jane Greer, relationship expert and author of What About Me? Stop Selfishness from Ruining Your Relationship. “Any variation of sexual activity is good for a quickie!”
