Booty Call
Updated:A booty call is a slang term for a communication (usually a phone call or text message) made to a sexual partner with the primary intention of initiating immediate sexual activity. It typically occurs outside of a committed romantic relationship and is often spontaneous or made late at night.
Additional Information
The term "booty call" emerged in the 1990s and has become a common part of modern dating vocabulary. It represents a form of casual sexual relationship where both parties understand that the primary purpose of their interaction is sexual gratification rather than emotional connection or long-term commitment. While booty calls can be mutually enjoyable, they may also lead to complications if expectations between partners are not clearly communicated.
Examples
Texting an ex-partner at 2 AM asking if they want to "hang out"
Calling a friend with benefits after a night out to see if they're interested in hooking up
It's important to note that while booty calls are a common practice in some social circles, they should always involve mutual consent and respect for personal boundaries. Safe sex practices are crucial in these casual encounters to prevent sexually transmitted infections and unintended pregnancies.
