More About Quickie
The term quickie tends to denote a quick sexual encounter that skips over some of the sensual aspects and foreplay that might often precede orgasm. For people with vulvas, reaching orgasm during a quickie may be more difficult; research has shown that it takes women somewhere between six and 20 minutes to climax during partnered sex, while men tend to orgasm within five to seven minutes. Sex toys can be used to reduce this time for many people with vulvas. In addition, many people find that the intensity and excitement of a quickie make orgasm easier to achieve. It's also important to note that orgasm isn't the only reason to have sex and many people still enjoy sexual encounters when orgasm does not occur.
