What's Wrong with a Booty Call/1-Night Stand?

So is it wrong to expect a hot night of sex when it's freezing outside?  Especially when it's late and you receive a random text message asking you what you're doing.  I suppose the answer to this question depends on the person.  Maybe it depends on the gender of the person asking.  Perhaps it simply comes down to what the rules of late night rendezvous’ and our society says. 

Imagine if you will...you're spending a quiet evening at home, just hanging out by yourself.  Suddenly your phone plays the tune of your favorite song at the time (no doubt it probably change by the end of the week) and it's that person.  You know. That person. Either you have only really spoken to them through text, hung out occasionally or only hear from them when they’re in need of some.  Or vice versa.

"Curious" as to what ever they just might want at this time of night, you answer the phone or respond to their message.  They ask what you're up to.  You reply "nothing".  They say something like "yeah, me too".  Then they ask you what you're doing later.  Well geez, I don't know, considering what time it is, I'm sure I'll still be doing nothing.  That is unless, I happen to look out of my window and see a spotlight shining into the dark sky.  Then I'll have an impromptu date with the police Commissioner.

You respond again with "nothing".  What might or might not follow is a game of silence.  Whoever cracks this period of quiet first is the loser of this game.  For you fortunate bunch which this is a usual thing, there really is no silence.  Only phone contact, knock at the door, then bed or couch or wherever gets filled with sex; period.  Others might give in to the silence game and ask that person if they want to come over.  Wow, by a stroke of luck they actually said yes.

So they arrive, pleasantries are exchanged, maybe some alcohol is ingested and it's down to business.  Depending on how much you want this person around or what you have to do the next morning dictates whether they need to get the hell out of your house or not afterwards.  Bye.

But what if by some dumb luck or mis-alignment of the moon & stars, nothing happens?  What if the entire evening goes by and no intercourse takes place?  I know, I know, you're too smooth or hot or irresistible to be denied sex.  Good for you and Congratu-freaking-lations.  Would you like a cookie?  Maybe an STD-brownie perhaps?  Anyways, what do you do?  Do you ask the person to leave?  Do you tell the person to leave?  Do you ask them why they came over in the first place if they weren't planning on interlocking body parts?  What oh what do you do?

Now, let's be honest and very, very realistic.  If the gender of the person making the request for this meeting happens to be male, chances are they have every mental as well as physical intention of doing some damage to the insides of their female victim, I mean person, that they are meeting up with.  It's a done deal.  You will probably never, eeeeeevvvvvver come across a guy who asks to meet up with a girl and not have any inkling in their brain of some kind of sex.  It doesn't even have to be late at night for these thoughts and wants to take place.

On the other gender foot, regardless if the second person is the one doing the requesting or accepting of this late night meet-up and they are female, sex is not always a certainty.  Why, might you ask?  Great question, wish I freaking knew the answer.  Apparently a female can either ask to come over, for you to come over, or accepts either of those same two options and not even be thinking about sex.  Again, why, do you ask?  Again, I wish I freaking knew.

I personally don't care if she asked or accepted this meeting.  If she simply downright agreed to it happening, especially without any pleading or begging coming from the guy (sometimes it's necessary but I have never done it; Ever) and after she has looked at her watch, clock, cable box, computer, sundial, hourglass, abacus, whatever she uses to tell time and sees how late it is, she has got to know.  This get-together is for one thing and one thing only....SEX!  How long it lasts, how good it is, what positions will it consist of, what kind of birth control apparatuses will be used and whether or not you cuddle your sweaty/sticky bodies together afterwards can be negotiated later on.

In a response to this assumption, I have heard this: "Why do you automatically feel a girl should have sex with you just because the two of you are meeting at that time of night?"  Well please correct me if I am mistaken but if you arrive or allow another warm-blooded individual into your home after let's say 11 P.M. at night, what exactly are you thinking is going to happen?  The same person who provided that earlier borderline condescending response this time responded simply with "Sex".  Well DUH, what the hell else would you expect to happen, as Mike "The Situation" would say; "you come over at 4 in the morning and expect to play checkers?"

Even that same person would be expecting nothing other than sex.  I'm sure since there are many very sexually intelligent people out there (or at least I thought there were), everyone could hopefully agree that since a gathering at that time of night would only equal sexual intercourse and you didn't want to partake in this most usually pleasurable act then you would say something.  Oh I don't know, maybe something along the lines of "I'm not really trying to do anything like that tonight but..." or "I just want to spend some time with you" or "I don't want to f**k you tonight" might be sufficient enough for them to get the picture.  Sure, if you tell them that, there's a pretty good possibility that they won't want to come over anymore but that's just a chance that you take.  Sorry.

Another response that I very highly disagree with that I received was: "It's wrong for a guy to go meet up with a girl and expect sex just because of the time of night scenario but it's completely ok for a girl to invite a guy over for a nice little romp" (I'm paraphrasing but you get the idea).   So if a guy invites a girl over for sex, he's a "dog" but if a girl invites a guy over it's perfectly fine.  My reaction was this: "huh?" but in my head it was more like this: "WHAT THE HELL?! Are you serious?!"

On that note, I would like to say that double standards are a major problem in our society today.  They might even rank up there with letting your shopping cart crash into my freshly washed car in the parking lot.  Either way, I feel that they both need to stop.  Right Away.

So word to the wise if you didn't already know.  If you receive a phone call or text message or e-mail or whatever and the content of that message resembles something similar to asking for a booty call or one night stand, don't accept if you don't want to do anything with that person.  This kind of consideration will lead to much less angry and frustrated people throughout our world.

Now take that with you into 2011.
