When did "hookup culture" start, and how?

[lightbulb27]

Like, when do you think it started? This lady outlines her view of it... Helps to have some perspective... cause it's messed up.

...
Kinda funny and educational, from 20141960's - mom's were home raising kids (except for the moms that were having fun at drug parties... ahemm)
1970's - moms went to work, kids went "latchkey". Kids on their own more and went more to their peers for guidance. Schools losing power to discipline
1980's - all moms went back to work. Kids less respectful of adults. Can't say "no" to kids... shift in culture. "Be friends with your kids". Schools lose power and asked to do more parenting. They suck at that... because can't discipline!
1990's - Parenting goes downhill. Computers take over... internet.. exposure...
2000's+ - mobile technology. kids go here for info...

Commonality - parents not talking about "hanky panky". Kids start going to "porn" more. It's not like "porn" is real life, how many "marriage" porns are there... yea...

Younger and younger kids are watching porn, like 8 yr olds... kids think this is "sex".

HOW TO REDEFINE THE NORM ('cause it's only going to get worse)
* Talk about sex with your kids, age appropriate
...
My opinion is... turn off the internet and take the phones away from them until they are old enough to pay for them.

Girls have you played "sex" games at parties? Like... I never went to such a party, so have no idea.

God... universe... help us all..

I would say that hookup culture began around 2004-2008, where girls who were traditionally seen as sluts stopped being ashamed of it. Part of this was feminism's attack on "slut shaming," but the rest was just a steady move away from traditional norms, and a greater emphasis on women, by women, to pursue career as opposed to family.
Before this girls wanted to be girlfriend material, and eventually wife material. Now they want to make powerpoints for 40,000 a year, hoping for that next promotion. This made sex, from an act to do with a loved one, to something that could "scratch that itch" when the need arose, with a greater emphasis on removing the inconvenience of it (i. e. having a significant other).
Therefore, it was older millennial women (now 30-35) who began to have casual sex, and one night stands, and weren't afraid to tell their friends about it.
Then, the women who were not inclined towards this realized they were competing against willing sexual participants; so, they stopped demanding any compensation by the guys they got involved with (as you can only compete against sex with sex) in hopes that they'd eventually "wise up" and marry them.
This created a dating market place where sex was a given; everyone was having it, and it was so cheap that you could have sex with someone you didn't even like for as little as just wanting to pass the time. Relationships lost their appeal, and hookups became the way to go about doing things.
Now, nobody knows how tf to actually date someone, let alone deal with the mental baggage of women who go through with 3-5 years of hooking up with random people, which is why society is falling apart at an increased rate (e. g. drag queen story hours; Kylie Jenner as a billionaire, etc.)

seems right, sounds like what "Devo" was singing about... de-evolution!

I think with hippies in the Sixties. At least in today’s hookup culture the girl gets to cum.

[lightbulb27]

she didn't get that back then? I didn't ask the girls I know went. Yea, that's progress I guess...
