Clothed Sex
Sex where one or both partners stay fully or partly dressed, often with clothing pushed aside or opened just enough rather than removed. In romance it usually signals urgency, a stolen moment, or a public-ish setting where undressing is impossible.
Why readers love it
The half-dressed state keeps the tension of everyday life intact, so the scene reads as something that interrupted the characters rather than a planned encounter. It also lets writers play with contrast, like formalwear, uniforms, or office clothes that make the moment feel illicit and improvised.

Worth knowing: Consent still needs to be clear and ongoing when a scene leans on urgency or public settings, and partners should agree beforehand on what clothing can be moved or used.
