Sex Pyramid Cont.'

The next level of your sex pyramid might include what Self magazine coins electric sex. Otherwise known as a ‘quickie’, electric sex is spontaneous, exciting, and to the point. There is very little foreplay and the sexual encounter is pretty brief.

Although electric sex shouldn’t be at the base of your pyramid because it lacks in intimacy and exploration, there are benefits to this type of encounter. Electric sex is easily integrated into a busy schedule and requires less energy. It can also inject some much needed excitement into an otherwise predictable repertoire. As Self describes, “It's a fun, effective way to show your partner that your relationship is still on the radar, so electric sex might occupy one of the middle tiers of your pyramid.”
