Dear Em & Lo,
I read your "Sex Advice Review: Worst Booty Call Tips Ever" with amusement and agreement. But what are YOUR booty call tips, for a woman?  
Thanks,
Keeping it Casual

Dear K.I.C.,

Wow, where to start? We could go on all day about booty call etiquette (in fact, we have: Check out our book Sex Etiquette for Ladies and Gentlemen if you want the unabridged version of our answer). But here are just a few highlights that we think are particularly pertinent to the ladies:

• A regular booty call partner can be much more satisfying for a woman than a string of one-night stands, because it usually takes a few sessions to teach a new man the various routes to your happy place. And if you're not demanding orgasms from your casual sex, then you're kinda missing the point, aren't ya?

• You've got to be attracted to your booty call partner, and it helps if you can have a laugh together, but you don't need to have anything else in common. (And you certainly don't have to seek out "inner beauty.") So go ahead and call that himbo. In fact, the less like "boyfriend material" he is, the better suited he is to be your booty call.

• Don't limit your booty-calling to just exes. Sure, an ex can make a great booty call candidate, but just because you're over him enough to want just booty, it doesn't mean he is (though he may pretend he is just for the chance to be in your presence again). Don't break his heart all over again, the poor little lamb! And you should definitely steer clear of booty-calling an ex who broke YOUR heart.
 
• We know you like to plan, but never make a booty call more than a day in advance. An hour or two is considered foreplay, any longer feels too relationshippy.

• Make sure you're alternating who calls whom so that mutual interest is constantly re-established. If you've been the initiator more than three times without reciprocation, give it a rest.

• Tipsy is good, stumbling drunk is bad.
 
• BOTH parties should be armed with prophylactics at all times. Yep, that includes you.
 
• Faking belongs in dysfunctional relationships and miserable one-night stands only. In the modern booty call, everyone gets at least one real one, whether delivered by oneself or by the second party.

• Don't call your fuck buddy just to say "hi" (unless you were friends for more than a month before you started swapping favors). Save the niceties for email.
 
• If nothing is discussed, you've got to assume that you're not the only booty call in your fuck buddy's life. If you want to be in a monogamous booty call situation, then say so!
 
• Do not think that six months of booty-calling each other connotes progression. Duration never implies acceleration, change, or growth--it is simply the same dirty thing happening over and over. A booty call matures into a bona fide relationship about as often as Fox's 11 p.m. headlining news item is truly newsworthy.

Keeping it real,

Em & Lo
