Quirky Quickies

Contributed by Kelly Jones, Lavalife

Spontaneous sex sessions not only satisfy spur-of-the-moment urges, they boost your libido, improve the health of your relationship and offer the opportunity to explore fantasies you might be too shy to explore.

As Tracey Cox's newest book, Quickies: Sex for Busy People points out, impulsive nookies are the perfect solution for busy bodies who crave erotic encounters that are as spicy as they were at the start of the relationship. So the next time you're feeling randy, steer clear of your bedroom's predictable positions and instead put some quirk in your quickie.

Make Yourself at Home

Anywhere but the bedroom (or your usual sex lair) qualifies as a Quirky Quickie location. Kitchens offer the added benefit of having food and utensils close by to double your pleasure, while the dryer in the laundry room makes for a vibratingly good time. Pianos and billiard tables add that ba-da-boom porn-star feeling to the mix, and getting hot and heavy in the shower before a night on the town can keep you smiling all the way to the restaurant. Add a little zoom to your quickie by stealing away for some heavy petting in the garage-parked car, or spice it up with some teenage angst by romping around in the parentals' bed before your family dinner. Make sure to experiment with new positions -- having a quickie means you only have to hold the pose for a short period of time, so be bold, brazen and beautiful in your braveness.

Oh! in the O

Although it's likely considered illegal to be nude in public where you live, you can't deny that there's something magical about being naked (or part thereof) together in the outdoors -- be it lying under the sun in the middle of a field off the highway or stealing away for a salacious skinny-dip in the neighbor's pool before bed, traipsing off the joggers' path into the bushes or wading waist-deep into the salty sea and frolicking beneath the froth. Author Cox points out that, "Sex in public requires nerve -- and common sense. Setting up your beach umbrella next to a kid innocently building a sandcastle is asking for trouble. But a deserted, out-of-the-way beach is well worth the risk. Anxiety heightens desire." Whatever your outdoor pleasure, remember to leave your quickie location as you found it and to watch out for some of nature's creepy crawlies. As I discovered some years back, one encounter with a nest of fire ants is all it takes to turn your devotion for double-time doing-it into a disaster in five seconds flat.

Lusty in the Public Loo

Whether at the roadside gas station or the movie theater, stealing away for a few minutes of heavy petting in a public washroom makes for a thrillingly risky rendezvous. "Restrooms are associated with drug-use and illicit sex, so sex takes on an edgy, dangerous feel (even if you have nothing to fear but the embarrassment of being caught)," explains Cox. Using a stall makes for tight quarters, but it's also easier to disguise your activity should someone else surprise you. For an even more precarious dirty delight, use the bathroom's common sink area as venue for your guilty pleasures. Running water becomes your lubricant, the sink your leverage, the hand-dryers drown out your moans, the mirror your own personal audience. The average bathroom visit can take three or four minutes, so get frisky fast.

Titillating Transportation Tidbits

En-route quickie orgasms combine the thrill of public mischief with speed and movement. As Cox writes, "Pull over for a passion pitstop and heat things up on the highway with hot, hurried, hellishly good backseat sex." Aside from the obvious planes, trains and automobiles, think kayak, limousine, gondola, ferry, and the like. Or get creative with your car and go for some spontaneous backseat sex during the previews of the drive-in theatre or at the carwash. Stuck in traffic? Let your hands wander across the gear shift for some digital dirtiness -- cars beside you will never suspect a thing so long as your friskiness stays below waist level and your climax doesn't draw crowds. I'll drive what she's driving.

As always, common sense goes a long way. Exercise caution, beware of obvious and hidden dangers and trust your gut. If it feels weird, don't do it. 'Nuff said.
