is casual sex for you?
It’s 2 a.m., and you still haven’t heard from him. You wait to wash the makeup from your face hoping to see your phone light up with a text from him, begging you to come over. You want to look hot, like you’ve had the night of your life. You don’t want to reveal that you’ve spent all evening wondering if you’re going to hear from him or not.

And then, like clockwork, he sends a text “What r u doing?”
You brush your teeth and dab some perfume behind your ears as you think of something witty to text back. The two of you banter back and forth and in no time you’re back in his bed.
The booty call is as old as time. It’s late, you’re looking for some action, and then he rings. If you're looking to mix things up and you have your expectations set right, you may be interested in a night of sex without strings.

While some may tell you not to answer those late night texts, the following relationship expert begs to differ. He believes sex isn’t only for monotonous, monogamous relationships.
“I could probably go on forever about the benefits of answering a booty call,” says David Bakke, Relationship Editor for the lifestyle blog Money Crashers Personal Finance, “but here are my top five reasons.”
5 Reasons to Answer a Booty Call
1. To Have Sex: Anytime you can get yourself some, I say, full speed ahead. It can relax you; ease any tensions you might have, and allow you to focus more on more important priorities like school, work or family.
2. To Save Money: When there's no dinner and a movie involved, there's no cost. It's a great way to save money for you frugal people out there.
3. To Save Time: From a pure efficiency perspective, the time saving aspect of a booty call benefits both parties. You get in, get out, and get on with your business.

4. There's No Commitment: By definition, a booty call involves no commitment from either side. A guy (or girl) would be a fool to miss out on any opportunity to get sex without a commitment assuming both sides are single and sexually compatible.
5. There's No Peer Pressure: If your girl or guy is anything less than a "hotty," who cares? With a booty call, there’s no worry about being seen by your friends with someone who may be less than ideal.
