Is That It?

She may have a million things to do – go shopping, bake a cake, have an early night – but if you approach her in the right way a quickie is just perfect for you both. You are both busy people without always having enough time for a long session of sex, so a quickie keeps you both satisfied. Besides, you promised to phone your mate and go for a pint, so you don’t have time for a long session either.

In an ideal world we'd spend forever bonking, but on a practical basis it's not easy to fit in hours of lovemaking. But if you're going to have sex fast, it has to be good sex or else you might as well not bother all.

Fancy a quickie? There are lots of ways to make fast sex great

• Girls, make sure your partner knows he's not in for a long session. He might feel a bit miffed if you get him in the mood, orgasm and head off to paint your nails. Let him know you haven't got much time on your hands, but add that you fancy him so much or are feeling so horny that you're tempted to take him there and then. Or ask him outright if he fancies a quick one - even if he's busy he may well fit you in somehow!

• Fast sex should not be a race - get down to it quickly, but enjoy it once you get going. The point is to be ready for action but to relish the fun part - fast sex doesn't mean fast orgasms. Once you're getting there, slow down and make the most of it.

• Half the pleasure of fast sex comes from the lack of foreplay - your erogenous zones can really appreciate getting attention out of the blue. Encourage your partner to put his hand down your undies or to take hold of your breasts when you're least expecting it and to grab you at inappropriate times. A quick feel can soon turn into a quickie.

• Come on to him when he's least expecting it, too. Send him into the kitchen to do the washing up, approach him from behind and grab him before he's got time to drop his scourer!

• Still feel you're going to need some pre-sex arousal? Wander around without any underwear on and then jump him as soon as he walks through the door. That should do the trick!
