Booty Call: Getting down with the upside of it.

Booty Call. Those 2 words can either make someone cringe with anger over an unfulfilled game of love, or smile with memories of the spontaneity and uninhibited fun they once had.

If you don’t know what a booty call is, (and it scares me to think that someone may not)than you never dared to allow your body to be swept away in a late night rendezvous and know you’re not going to be sent a dozen roses in the morning. You are either wild and free or too uptight for “that sort of thing.” Perhaps you valued yourself too much than to be “just a booty call.” It’s not about that though. It’s about thinking outside the box, letting yourself go, lavishing in naughty actions and smearing lipstick all over some guys sheets and leaving without making the bed or having to worry about how he likes his coffee in the morning. You do the deed and get the hell out before the sun shines.
I prefer to see it as respecting yourself enough to know that a good night of sex doesn’t have to wipe away self esteem and leave you moping home in a walk of shame and guilt. Ahem-- no no no. You can walk with your head held high and your brain still intact knowing that a night of good sex can leave you feeling euphoric and uplifted and in control. You got what you came for and you don’t have to take any drama back home with you because you know the difference between leaping for lust and falling into everlasting love. You know that tangled bodies and sweaty lips are ONE thing and romance and fairy tales are ANOTHER thing. This is why it’s called a booty call, it’s about getting some “ass.” And that’s it.

The Urban Dictionary’s first 3 definitions of “Booty call” are:

*A phone call that can only be made after 1 AM.

*noun: a person with whom one has sex at random times outside of a relation ship. 2. verb: the act of calling said person. 3. noun: the term used to refer to said phone call

*A call to a girl asking for sex. She comes over and u fuck. That's it. A call for Sex.

The third one cracks me up because it insinuates that only males actually place the call. Hello?! Women have needs too people... Or is that considered “drunk dialing?” Either way, booty calls usually occur while under the influence and if you’re left going home alone after a night out with the “guys” or “girls.”. Eh, may as well resort to the old booty call. When it comes to booty calls, I am a fan. I think if both people have an understanding of where this sexual relationship is going, than no harm can be done. Invest your heart and soul? Expect disappointment to seep in. It’s about SEX and that’s IT.
Have them while you can and enjoy them while you can, love will come when you’re not looking, but booty calls are in the palm of your hand honey. Remember this: The only thing worse than being a booty call is to have never made anyone’s list....
