It is great to see someone being that open and honest about this topic, without any of the bravado or hidden meanings that usually get in the way.
We need for it to be possible (and socially acceptable) for two people to talk with honesty about what sort of assumptions they each want to make, what each may be prepared to offer and what each is hoping for.
Even the coining of the phrase "booty call" is a step forward, because it implies that it may (or man not) be exactly what both participants actually want.
Many women have been hurt by not having realised that what the man actually wanted was just a booty call, but many men have been lured into entanglements that they did not want by what has seemed to be a promise of more than the woman was actually prepared to offer - and both of these result from misunderstood hints.
