Booty calls, fun as they may be can be a pretty delicate arrangement. It’s an NSA (no strings attached) mutual agreement, but that’s just the goal and not always the reality. Since there are so many ways a simple booty call can go wrong, I’ve put together some tips to guide you on your path to what I like to call “freedom bangin’.” What are some rules you go by when it comes to a successful booty call?

7 Don’t Call Too Early

The nighttime is the right time. Not the morning, not ever. Sure, you may stay over her place and have a roll in the hay the following day, but that’s just a continuation of the previous night.

6 Don’t Call Too Late

Just like Cinderella turning into a pumpkin at midnight (or you know, whatever magical Disney thing happened in that story), your booty call will eventually turn from a booty that you can call into a tired woman that passes out after a certain time, never to awaken…til’ the next morning. Make sure you call before that happens.

5 Do Provide the Sweet ‘O’

A recent study from the American Sociological Review titled “Accounting for Women’s Orgasm and Sexual Enjoyment in College Hookups and Relationships” shows that most guys don’t care about a woman’s orgasm unless they’re in a relationship with her. That’s not cool, partly because reciprocation is what makes the world go round and partly because it’s a myth that ladies don’t care about having orgasmic shifts of their tit-tonic plates. Learn it, love it, do it.

4 Do Offer a Sleepover

What kind of a guy would you be if you invited a girl over your place after midnight (when booty call traffic is at its peak) and then after doing the deed, crumpled into a sweaty, exhausted ball of satisfaction, falling asleep and forgetting to offer her the use of your shower or a spot in your bed to sleep? It would be like her not offering you a sandwich or a towel after you’re done.

3 Don’t Expect to Hang Out

Make no mistake, the central theme here is to have fun (or, you know, provide some validation if that’s what you’re into, you sick bastard). You’re an outlet for primal urges, a stress-reliever and a good time, but not exactly a friend. Maybe you’ll “watch a movie” or see each other at a party, but this is not a lady who wants to spend the day with you.

2 Do Provide the Right Atmosphere

No matter who she is, how you know her and what crazy shit she’s into, you should always provide a level of safety, cleanliness and comfort for her when she’s at your place and not overstay your welcome at hers. Yes, tact is important even in the context of a relationship that has the word “booty” in its title.

1 Don’t Take it for Granted

Just because you only see her for the sex, it doesn’t mean you should treat her with less respect. She’s still a person with a mind, even if you happen to focus all your attention on other parts of her body.
