booty calls
Midnight romantic requests
A booty call is a late-night communication—typically a phone call or text—seeking casual sex with no romantic pretense.
The term can refer to the call itself, the person being contacted, or the encounter: He's not boyfriend material, just a booty call.
The phrase emerged in the 1990s and remains common in informal speech about hookup culture.
