    I think a hook up culture, while not inherently bad, is indicative of a society that doesn’t prioritize human connection. I need to reiterate that I have absolutely no issues with casual sex culture and experienced my fair share of it growing up. However, my true happiness came from long standing relationships that were incredibly hard to maintain under capitalist culture. I think a fairer and more equal society would see less of a hook up culture develop simply because people would find it easier to connect with the people they truly care about.

      This applies to pretty much any human connection/relationship. It’s basically impossible to develop and maintain fulfilling, long lasting friendships with people under capitalism. I firmly believe that if hypothetically, socialism were to happen tomorrow, then in the following decades we would see hookup culture disappearing. No one actually wants quick and shallow relationships where no one really knows who can be trusted.
