I know it's from Fear of Flying and I know it's by Erica Jong, but I don't know what it is, either.
Zoe: Nobody's saying that, sir. Wash: Yeah, we're pretty much just giving each other significant glances and laughing incessantly.

No, Burrell. My parents were more likely to read books with the throbbing manhood of trashy romances (mom) or murder mysteries (dad).

Whew. I can sit with Rio in the Don't Know It corner.
Hi RIO!

If I only had a brain...
It's sex that requires no effort; somebody hot shows up, you have sex, you go your separate ways.
Jong, of course, puts it in a quite spicy scene in which a young Italian widow has it off with a guy on a train.

HI KAT!
I don't get why it's called "zipless," though. What does zip mean in this context?

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
I read Fear of Flying and I'm having trouble coming up with a definition, myself.

Henh, Rio asked what I wanted know.
I still don't get it.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Well, my memory is vague (having read the book when I still coated anything having to do with sex in the gauzy haze of complete and utter inexperience), but it's basically an anonymous quickie.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

In that you don't even need to go through the effort of unzipping things....
eta: In an idealized sense... as if you don't have to stop to unzip stuff....

I always assumed it was semi-magical sex that didn't require anyone to fumble with zippers.
