A booty call is a phone call made in order to engage in no-strings attached sex with the person being contacted. In most cases, a booty call is usually made in the early hours thus making it clear that the intentions are far from pure.

Early morning and the phone rings. I open my eyes and try to reach for the vibrating phone unwillingly. What time is it? Who’s calling at dawn? Is something wrong? Well, nothing serious just a booty call from an acquaintance who I would never expected to act like that.

However, in Finland the ‘booty call’ phenomenon is further enhanced by the shyness of some Finnish men in addition to the fact that a few pints of beer always help them find their words in order to request sexual favours by calling a person they last saw years ago. I guess most of us have had a booty call on an early Thursday, Saturday or Sunday morning, this is because partying is mainly on Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays. Check your calendar next time a booty caller wakes you up.

Booty callers should be careful though who to call due to the simple, logical reason that a boyfriend or girlfriend might be next to the receiver. Let us all start off cleaning out our booty call list. It’s on my new year’s resolution list, too.
