Do you think hook-up culture is truly popular or only made popular by the media? (Page 2)

[Anonymous]

It was made popular by the media. Dumb TV shows and movies like Sex And The City and Friends With Benefits.

A ton of people use Tinder, a hook up app. You’ve heard of OnlyFans too because tons of women are selling pictures of their buttholes and guys are buying them.

I personally think hook up have been popular for a long time honestly probably since the 80s. It's quite ironic in a way, my parents always talked about the dangers of sex yet it was their generation that started the sexual revolution.

I think it's always been popular, but people were forced to hide it in the past, and now, not so much

[candleteabrunch]

And this.

[jcjj1991]

Some of my old friends indulge in this. Unfortunately now that they are older now, no one wants them. Bit embarrassing when you find out your husband or wife has been with a bunch of your friends and people in the community.

"Hook-up culture" has existed for centuries long before the "media" was invented. It was certainly popular in the 1960's back when there was no internet and the media was heavily censored.

[Sarahr123]

It’s popular for people with no values or traditions

[jshm2]

Neither.

Most people talk about hookups, but few get it.

Apps like Tinder and Grindr are mostly a failure at getting people hookups. But what they have done is make a market for it.

I don't know, since this is the first I've heard of it. If I had a clue of what it is, I'd be enclined to go with media promotion, but since I don't, 🤷‍♂️!

Casual Sex has always been popular 😂 In fact, it's only been in the last century that people get together/married based on mutual feelings

[candleteabrunch]

This.

[sensogal]

@candleteabrunch thanks for agreeing. Looks like some guys don't like facts, probably really need to get a history lesson and their heads out of Disney's fairy tales 😂

[HairyPoppins]

I think it's truly made popular by Tinder and yes other forms of media. Does it really exist? I think it does because I was apart of that world for a long time. Thankfully I have outgrown that and am now looking for my partner in crime.

[Slartybartfast]

Bigfoot culture I call it. Heard of, but no proof and no one I know has seen it. Mostly used to justify treating men like dirt.

[ZackBan]

I've seen it. I've done it myself even and yes a year ago I would have agreed with this analogy but i was shocked to find it's quite real

[shouldnobetter]

@ZackBan I agree , I think it is quite real, Also some sibling sex is quite real.

[ZackBan]

@shouldnobetter I have no idea about that. Sibiling sex is not something I ever saw or ever wanna see.

[boggboss]

Lol stats show that its popular in the west I know more people that have hooked up then only done relationships

[Stephan2]

I think it's more popular now, but of course media helps a lot. Hook up sites are making a lot of money from this but this is because people asks for it, otherwise there would not be any site for that

[SweetRomeo]

Yea especially sites like Ashley Madison where they promote affair. As their logo says " life is too short, have an affair. " lol.

[Crazybeeguy]

I think originally it was dating apps, that made it easy for people to meet then it's like people going to the bar and just havimg a one night stand.

[JackSmy]

I think that some are coerced into it, because of media hype. Rational, thinking people know it is BULLSHIT.

[TodsShadow]

People love easy, that’s why we have buisnesses like credit repair and those so called budget apps where they pay your bills for you. People don’t like to take time and figure shit out. It’s always gotta be quick or someone’s upset.

[Drumlin2001]

It is popular to some people, maybe not as many as the media makes it seem to be. If thats how adults want to live their life then so be it

[888theGreat]

Movies and Hollywood. They are all going to end up in Hell. Not mature behavior. Anything but Adult. Risky and not love but lust. Only a Penis dating a Vagina and Tits and Ass.

[Hanrej]

I think it's the only way to saticefy ones lusts without losing ones independence.

People now adays are far more concerned with what a relationship costs them than what the potential gain could be.

[bulletbob555]

Maybe its not as widespread as its made out to be. For the younger generations its a thing. Now when I was younger it was the sexual revolution and even then some did bjut others still wanted traditional relationships. Its not an ironclad rule
