this is the only take imo, hookups in a communist society would have a completely different character to what they are now. People hookup casually now id say primarily cause they want/need to have some human affection or are bored, and that is a symptom of our society where people are largely alienated from that
What if they just like fucking/getting fucked, and want to derive pleasure from sex. I understand what angle you’re taking, but I think you’re looking at it too deeply… people just like sex.
Now for people paying sex workers I feel like your analysis works better, but not casual hookups.
I don’t know anyone that does hook up culture and is a happy person. I don’t think hook up culture is the cause, a least not across the board, but it’s definitely not just people enjoying sex. you go on an app and show off your body so people can decide if you’re hot enough and then you have a fake date, fuck, and leave.
I know plenty of people that do hook up culture and are happy. Anecdotes don’t really hold much weight in the grand scheme of things.
The problem from that comes mainly in if people make that their entire goal or identity, and not something to do for fun. It’s the drinking for fun vs alcoholic argument. One is arguably alright, the other is a serious issue.
It’s those people who don’t view it as good fun (then usually fail and blame the other side like incels and radfems do) and try to make it their entire identity of means of connection, which is just sad.
