Is booty-calling my best option?

I dumped my boyfriend about 18 months ago, because of the very reason of your column last week – he loved his X-Box more than me. in fact he used to make me feel like a nympho for wanting sex more than once a month. I don’t want another relationship just yet and it's not like I got any with him, but I find myself CLIMBING THE WALLS without regular action now I'm single. I’m over my vibrator big time. Do you think a booty call guy is the way to go? Anon

Hey wall-climber. Sorry about the X-Box ex, but go you for accepting you’re a hot chick with needs. I hear you on the plastic fantastic parade, sometimes jelly substitutes just don’t cut it when you need a real man in the crib.
About that. There is really nothing worse than lying in bed, listening to the neighbours having crazy jungle sex (unless you’re lying in bed with your boyfriend listening to the neighbours having crazy jungle sex and he just gives you a polite smile and rolls over). But back to you ... if you’re alone, and your Rabbit’s outta batteries, who you gonna call?
Under the right circumstances, bedpals can totally rawk, but it’s not a pseudo relationship to enter into lightly. If you don’t want anything serious AND your bedpal agrees it’s just a bit of fun, it can be a fine way to a) kill time; b) wait for Mr Right to come along or c) kill time until you find your Rabbit in a dusty old box where you tossed it in a fit of rage.
My advice? Set the rules of engagement first – will it be dinner and sex, drinking and sex, courtesy booty-call and sex, or just rock-up-any-time-sex, sex and more sex? And don’t forget the honesty clause on what you’ll do if you fall in love with your bedpal, he/she falls for you or either of you falls for a third party. Trust me, that’s a passion killer.
Love, reality chick
