Booty-Call Rule 1
Once a month is enough. When you suggest meeting up more than once every few weeks or so, it will come across as more of an obligation than a friends-with-benefits thing.
Booty-Call Rule 2
Avoid the redial button. If he doesn't answer or call back after you make the first attempt, don't keep hitting redial. He could be sleeping or spending time with someone else—and you're not allowed to mind.
Booty-Call Rule 3
Don't overstay your welcome (or let him overstay his). Sleeping over or brunching can feel awkward when you're just shagging. Stay within your boundaries by skipping the couple-y stuff.
Booty-Call Rule 4
Be honest with yourself. It can be emotionally taxing to have uncommitted sex, so once in a while, have a truthful talk with yourself to make sure you're still okay (really) with casual encounters.

maui18. i think this is much better if ur not really into a serious relationship. Walang hassle pag ndi available ung isa di wag pero dapat clear sa both parties na hanggang dun lang talaga ur just his/her booty call partner.

12. If this Booty Call is alright to other women make sure that you are still enjoying it. You have to talk to yourself and ask if it still makes you happy if your answer is not anymore I think this is the right time to stop it.

7. life is already complicated as it is ;) whether you're single or otherwise. fubus are supposed to add extra spice, take away the drag, lighten up a bit, and provide a much convenient outlet for urges meant to be purely sexual in nature. minus the dreaded, all-binding, non-compromising, seemingly permanent strings of commitment. So live by the rules!

6. both parties need to set limitation... but most often, girls end up to be hanging...

Vampire Weekend5. True! I've heard of so many girls (and even guys!) who get attached after sharing only one night together.

Louise1. I can relate with rule #4. It IS emotionally taxing, and sometimes it's not healthy.
