Booty call

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Booty Call (of English booty " butt " / "prey" and call "call") is from the American native phrase and refers to the repeated (telephone) contact and conspiracy to casual sex ( casual sex ).

meaning

For the purpose of initiating sexual intercourse or other sexual activities, the partners have to make repeated contact via various communication media such as telephone , e-mail or instant messaging services ( English to give sb a booty call ). For men, easy access to attractive sex partners seems to be the most appealing aspect of this type of relationship, while women in particular use it as a “test phase” to evaluate the partner's qualities for a long-term relationship. In a study published in 2009 among American adolescents , 64 percent of the participants stated that they had made “booty calls”.

history

The inventor of the term is considered to be the American stand-up comedian Bill Bellamy , who joked in the HBO series Def Comedy Jam in early 1992 that women were not called by a man at two o'clock in the morning to have a conversation, but rather it is rather a "booty call". In 1997, the American comedy Booty Call - One-Night-Stand with Obstacles by director Jeff Pollack was released .
