Casual sex or hooking up refers to certain types of human sexual activity outside the context of a romantic relationship. The term is not always used consistently: some use it to refer to any extramarital sex, some use it to refer to sex in a casual relationship, whereas others reserve its use for one-time encounters, promiscuity, or to refer to sex in the absence of emotional attachment or love.[1][2]
Other terms sometimes associated with casual sex include recreational sex, social sex, physical relationship, or No-Strings-Attached (NSA) sex.[3] Recreational sex or social sex refers to sexual activity in which people engage which focuses on the sexual pleasure of the activity without an emotional aspect or commitment. Recreational sex can take place in a number of contexts. It may, for example, take place in an open marriage,[4] such as among swingers where sex is viewed as a social occasion,[5][6] or in an open relationship. It can also take place in a casual relationship.

World-wide attitudes to casual sex range from conservative and religious views, the extreme of which is capital punishment for sexual relations outside heterosexual marriage, to liberal or libertarian views, the extreme of which is free love.[citation needed] During the sexual revolution in the United States and Europe in the 1960s and 1970s, social attitudes to sexual issues underwent considerable changes. The advent of the pill and other forms of birth control, the Women's Liberation movement, and the legalization of abortion in many countries is believed to have led to a wider practice of casual sex.[7][8][9] Most religions disapprove of sex outside of marriage (see religion and sexuality).
Swingers in the lifestyle engage in casual sex with others for a variety of reasons. For many, an advantage is the increased quality, quantity and frequency of sex.[10] Some swingers engage in casual sex to add variety into their otherwise conventional sex lives or for curiosity. Swingers who engage in casual sex maintain that sex among swingers is often more frank and deliberative and therefore more honest than infidelity. Some couples see swinging as a healthy outlet and means to strengthen their relationship. Others regard such activities as merely social and recreational interaction with others.
A study of hooking up at the University of Iowa found that waiting to have sex doesn't contribute to a stronger future relationship.[11] Instead, they found that what mattered most was the goal individuals had going into a relationship. Individuals who started by hooking up tended to develop a full relationship later on if that was their goal going in.
A hookup (colloquial American English) is casual sex activity that could consist of manual stimulation, oral sex, or sexual intercourse.
An extended hookup typically refers to prolonged instances of casual sex interactions. This is a situation in which the involved parties occasionally meet for casual sex multiple times, always without a long-term commitment. This is a casual relationship specifically for sex and without any emotional aspect, for which another colloquial term is "fuck buddies".
It is quite often found the people arrange such sexual activities through the internet, on web sites such as Craigslist. A booty call means that such an arrangement is made over the phone.[12]
A slight variation on the extended hookup is friends with benefits, where the involved parties have a degree of emotional attachment, and although they are happy to engage sexual interaction, do not want, for whatever reason, to have "strings attached" as a result.
A one-night stand is a single sexual encounter between individuals, where at least one of the parties has no immediate intention or expectation of establishing a longer-term sexual or romantic relationship.
Anonymous sex is a form of one-night stand or casual sex between people who have very little or no history with each other, often engaging in sexual activity on the same day of their meeting and usually never seeing each other again afterwards.[13]
There are many specialist online dating services or other internet websites, known as "adult personals" or "adult matching" sites, which cater to people looking for a purely physical relationship, without emotional attachments. These can provide a relatively anonymous forum where people who are geographically close but in totally separate work and social circles can make contact.[citation needed]

"Bootie Call" is a song performed by British-Canadian girl group All Saints from their debut album, All Saints (1998). The song was co-written by group member Shaznay Lewis in collaboration with its producer, Karl Gordon. "Bootie Call" was first released on 31 August 1998 by London Records as All Saints' fourth official single. It was released on cassette, CD and 12" format accompanied by a B-side entitled "Get Down" as well as previous hit "I Know Where It's At" and a remix of "Never Ever". "Bootie Call" achieved chart success; topping the UK Singles Chart on 6 September 1998, and at the same time becoming the group's third consecutive number-one hit. The single also performed well internationally; peaking within the top ten in The Netherlands and Ireland, and the top forty in Belgium and Sweden.
A music video was produced to promote the single. It featured All Saints sitting and lying down in an open top car while singing the song. There was also clips of a group of people walking down the street wearing matching outfits, various people being silly with the phone, break dancing in the street and a woman playing golf on top of the phone box.
Imaani Saleem (born Melanie Crosdale, Born 1972, Derby, England) is an English singer and is best known for representing the Eurovision Song Contest in 1998.
In 1998, she entered the A Song For Europe competition to find the UK's song for the Eurovision Song Contest. Her track "Where Are You" was a runaway winner with the British public and was selected to represent the UK. Imaani finished seven points behind the winner Dana International, in second place in the Eurovision Song Contest 1998. Britain has never been so close to winning ever since.
After its success in the contest, "Where Are You" entered the UK Singles Chart in May 1998, peaking at #15. The track spent more than two months in the chart. Despite this success, her record label EMI decided to cancel the release of her follow-up single "You Got A Way" and parted company with Saleem.
In 2000, she supplied the lead vocals on Tru Faith & Dub Conspiracy's UK garage cover of Adina Howard's "Freak Like Me". "Freak Like Me" reached No. 12 on the UK Singles Chart. Saleem went on to record with the jazz-funk band, Incognito.

Never stop giving good love
Cos that's why I call you for
(yo, whats up, baby?)
Never stop, baby, give it up
Cos I know where it came from - you got more
I like playing games
And if it's all the same,
You could bring it on with the rough stuff
And give me your love - I don't wanna be tamed
I need a man to be a real man
In order what I got in store,
Always finish what you start baby
And always having me beg for more,
You know I wanna be diggy down, boy
but I don't get around,
Jimmy has to ride in your pocket or lock him in your wallet,
It's just a bootie call
Bring it on, bring it, bring it on now (its a bootie call)

I'm keen on what you is baby
Names are always good to have
You never let me down
I'm always happy when you make me laugh
But don't try to find
This heart of mine
Emotions, they'll come into my head, so don't be misled
My heart doesn't need to be bled
Aren't we trying to be smart baby?
Don't need the rollercoaster ride
I've been it, seen it and done it all yeah, yeah
Don't want you messing with my mind
So don't be a fool
Keep this as your number one rule
Good loving is not always from the heart
You gotta be smart
Ha ha
Stay just the way you are
