If you’re like me, you don’t like to rush anything in life. Whether it’s work or paying the bills, shopping, getting ready, or sex, you like to take your sweet time. The problem with this? When it comes time to play and time is of the essence, I’d rather suppress my desires than weed through my mental Kama Sutra handbook to find quickie sex positions that are actually satisfying for myself and my partner. (I love foreplay, OK?!)
Life gets busy, and sometimes, a quickie is what we have to work with. But should I—like so many other people (especially women)—suppress my desires? Or should I—again, like so many other people—settle for something that leaves me mildly satisfied? No. Absolutely f*cking not. (I know I can’t be the only one who lives by Nicki Minaj’s Cosmopolitan quote in July 2015: “I demand an orgasm every time.”) For most women, though, it typically takes 14-20 minutes to reach an orgasm, which is either all the time you have for a quickie or way too long if you’re in a rush.
But alas, sometimes 20 minutes (or less) is all we have. So, I set out to find sex positions (besides the beloved, tried-and-true doggy style) that are guaranteed to give everyone involved an orgasm when you’re in a time crunch. Keep scrolling to learn the quickie sex positions that will actually leave you feeling satisfied.
Quickie Sex Positions for When Time Is of the Essence:
1. Rocking Chair
Why it’s good for a quickie: This is the perfect position for deep penetration, and it requires more rocking rather than thrusting, which means that for those with a vulva, it can hit all those spots (think: G-spot and A-spot). Plus, the face-to-face contact is great for intimacy.
How to do it: Have the penetrating partner pull their pants down to their mid-thighs and sit down on a couch or chair without arms (any surface you can sit on, really). The receiving partner (aka the rider) will then face them and climb on top. From there, the receiver can then get to work rocking back and forth, side to side… you get the picture. If the rider has a vulva, the penetrating partner shouldn’t be afraid to get creative and use their hands or a vibrator to play with the clit and get them off faster to save time.
2. Butterfly
Why it’s good for a quickie: This is another one that’s great for deep penetration and major stimulation. Plus, the penetrating partner’s feet are planted firmly on the ground, which means they can thrust harder and faster than normal. All of this is the recipe for a perfect, satisfying quickie. Fair warning, though: This one might leave you out of a breath. (It counts as cardio, right?)
How to do it: The receiving partner will lie flat on a bed while the penetrating partner stands at the end of it. The receiving partner will then tilt their pelvis upwards towards their partner’s and place their ankles on their shoulders. From there, the penetrating partner can either hold onto their hips and pelvis area or ankles—whichever they prefer—and move in.
3. oral sex: 69
Why it’s good for a quickie: There’s a reason this is a tried-and-true classic. This oral sex position gives direct simultaneous stimulation on the orgasm centers, so both parties are getting exactly what they need.
How to do it: You can 69 a variety of ways: one person on top, rolling on your sides, one partner standing while the other is sitting, etc.
4. The Plow
Why it’s good for a quickie: Missionary, but make it quick (and count). This modified missionary allows ultra-deep penetration and stimulation, and lets both of you go at the pace you want. Oh, and it also gives major G-spot stimulation to vulva owners.
How to do it: Set up like you would for normal missionary (with penetrating partner on top and receiving on bottom) with the receiving partner’s ankles around their partner’s shoulders and bent back towards their chest. The penetrating partner can then stabilize themselves by placing their hands on either side of their partner and move in.
5. The Pretzel
Why it’s good for a quickie: This one gets the job done thanks to the angle of penetration, and it’s also great for intimacy: both partners can maintain eye contact the entire time, which also makes this ideal for married couples or those in long-term relationships.
How to do it: The receiving partner will lie on their side with one leg up in the air. The penetrating partner will then hold their leg, straddle the bottom leg, and ease inside.
