ABSTRACT
The tolerance for disconnected sex with unfamiliar partners is what the hookup scene is all about. Many people consider communicating via social media and texts to be an acceptable way to get to know another person, and it is not uncommon for two people to hook up even though they’ve had very little face-to-face communication. Any kind of sexual encounter makes you vulnerable, both physically and emotionally. Sex can be awkward in the best of circumstances, and there is no app that can rescue us from the unease of being emotionally and physically naked with another person. No matter how hard people work to justify hooking up with someone they don’t know well, it is a recipe for a disconnected sexual experience.
