Whew. I can sit with Rio in the Don't Know It corner.
Hi RIO!
Dawn: I feel safe with you. Spike: Take that back!

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.

Are you ready to be strong?
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....

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
I always assumed it was semi-magical sex that didn't require anyone to fumble with zippers.

Are you ready to be strong?
But you still have to use your zipper for a quickie! It no makea sense!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
' The zipless fuck is absolutely pure . It is free of ulterior motives. There is no power game . The man is not "taking" and the woman is not "giving." No one is attempting to cuckold a husband or humiliate a wife . No one is trying to prove anything or get anything out of anyone. The zipless fuck is the purest thing there is. And it is rarer than the unicorn. And I have never had one .'
Also ...
"Zipless because when you came together zippers fell away like rose petals, underwear blew off in one breath like dandelion fluff. For the true ultimate zipless A-1 fuck, it was necessary that you never got to know the man very well."
