I can understand people who think sex is for marriage fretting about the hook up culture. What I don't get is people who have little moral objection to unmarried sex "as long as they love each other" being aghast about others "hooking up". I fail to see why it is so much better if two people spend a lot of time, money and emotion on each other when, odds are, they are not going to be together in five years, especially if they are both mostly looking for sex. Somehow, fornication is supposed to be "OK" as long as people also do other things together in addition to fornication. From which ancient source of wisdom does such thinking come?
"Hooking up" is the inevitable result of many cultural trends, primarily the ditching of the objective standard of saving sex for marriage, and eliminating any shaming of unmarried sex.
