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 between the 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). A booty call is typically looked at with the singular purpose of sexual pleasure and is not engaged upon to replace traditional relationships. As such, a booty call can take place with two (or more) people already involved in a relationship, but without the intent of breaking the relationship; however, as an alternate framework for sexual relations, the booty call can meet the urge for intimacy in a period of time or situation that allows for little or no sexual fulfillment otherwise. As such, the booty call becomes a gratifying and efficient option to a drastic change in a social situation, i.e., breaking an otherwise good relationship because of unsatisfying sex.

Booty calls can also be used by one partner of an ended relationship to obtain sex from the ex-partner, who may have lingering emotions and feelings of a need for continued physical connection, without feeling compelled to continue dating that person.^{[citation needed]} This may be 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.
