Dear Reader,

If what you’re asking is: “Is it okay for me to be intimate with my husband”, my answer is an unequivocal: absolutely! However, if that was the extent to your question, I’m not sure you’d be writing to us. So to start, let’s get a bit scientific about this. 

The word “quickie” is defined in the Cambridge Dictionary as: something done or had quickly, especially sex or an alcoholic drink. The colloquial definition of the word is defined in the Urban Dictionary (where almost anyone can upload a definition) as: A sexual activity done in a quick, orderly fashion.
