Traditionally, research on romantic and sexual relationships has focused on one-night stands and monogamous pairs. However, as the result of men and women pursuing their ideal relationship types, various compromise relationships may emerge. One such compromise is explored here: the "booty call." The results of an act-nomination and frequency study of college students provided an initial definition and exploration of this type of relationship. Booty calls tend to utilize various communication mediums to facilitate sexual contact among friends who, for men, may represent low-investment, attractive sexual partners and, for women, may represent attractive test-mates. The relationship is discussed as a compromise between men's and women's ideal mating strategies that allows men greater sexual access and women an ongoing opportunity to evaluate potential long-term mates.
传统上，关于浪漫关系和性关系的研究集中在一夜情和一夫一妻制伴侣上。然而，由于男性和女性都在追求自己理想的关系类型，各种妥协关系可能会出现。这里探讨的一种妥协关系是“炮友关系”。对大学生的行为提名和频率研究的结果提供了对这种关系的初步定义和探索。炮友关系往往利用各种沟通媒介来促进朋友之间的性接触，对男性来说，这些朋友可能代表着低投入、有吸引力的性伴侣，对女性来说，这些朋友可能代表着有吸引力的测试对象。这种关系被讨论为男性和女性理想交配策略之间的妥协，这使得男性有更多的性机会，而女性则有持续的机会来评估潜在的长期伴侣。
