- Traditionally this phenomenon, especially the term booty call, is associated with a woman calling a man...
Really? I thought it was the other way around. I mean, that was the central theme of the film of the same name. Not that Hollywood always gets things right! --Do Not Talk About Feitclub (contributions) 10:14, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
- If there's doubt, perhaps the article shouldn't tell mention either way?

Yes, "booty call" generally refers to a woman requesting sex from a man, which is supposed to be a new and "modern" phenomenon (yes, it's really happened since the beginning of time). A man's request for casual gratification generally goes by its old, traditional name of "proposition." Cranston Lamont 07:17, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
- Well, the wording "booty call" may have generally referred to a woman requesting sex from a man, but as Feitclub alluded to, it seems to have taken on being generally referred to as a man requesting sex from a woman. Perhaps it is now equal in its reference to either sex propositioning the other sex. Flyer22 00:19, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
The phrase originated in a comedic routine by stand-up comedian Bill Bellamy in the early 1990s.
Not so! I recall this expression being frequently used when I was in the U.S. military during the Vietnam era. Its meaning back then, as now, was to try to initiate "informal" sexual contact. I don't recall it ever being a request by a woman. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.228.163.254 (talk) 16:29, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Originated: Booty Call
The phase Booty Call was not originated by Bill Bellamy. But the phase may have gained popularity by Bill Belamy, and first used on television by him.
[edit] booty call: either sex propositioning the other sex
A booty call is either sex propositioning the other sex. It started out as male calling a female, but evolved to become an equal opportunity proposition.
[edit] Mildly racist content?
"The term is generally associated with black males"
This certainly isn't true in my experience, and I propose it should be removed unless someone can find a credible source for the assertion. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.76.38.165 (talk) 09:19, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

No, credible sources do. He's just raising an objection, not saying it's wrong because he says so.81.108.236.22 (talk) 23:28, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
