Jason ... My Booty Call Just Left

For the continuing education of Arthur ...

In many instances, a booty call is made when the prospect of a traditional romantic date is highly unlikely (e.g., late in the evening, after midnight or in the pre-dawn hours), thus making it obvious that the intent of the call is for the sole purpose of obtaining and engaging in sexual intercourse.

Most notably, the booty call is an alternative type of sexual relation between people. One can look at the booty call as sexual intercourse taking place somewhere outside the defined social constructs of marriage, dating, and prostitution. The lure in this case is the mutual satisfaction and pleasure of sex outside a traditional relationship (with all its complexities and commitments).
The term "Booty call" is especially used to describe initiations from either gender of sexual encounters between partners of a recently terminated relationship who may have lingering emotions and feelings of a need for continued physical connection, without feeling compelled to continue dating that person. This may be sometimes referred to as "ex sex."

The term itself is more likely to be used by the person answering the call or others in his/her company than the person making the call. For example, "Did John take off?", "Yeah, he had to answer a booty call." It is not considered derisive.
