Is hookup culture just free prostitution?

I see no difference?

Both involve consensual sexual activity, often outside committed relationships, and focus on physical interactions rather than emotional connections.

But hookup culture also involves casual, often uncommitted sexual encounters, typically driven by mutual desire or attraction, without an exchange of money. It may occur between strangers or acquaintances. Making it bit different from prostitution.

Money is the major factor involved in prostitution. So the term free prostitution actually doesn't have a meaning.

@ABCDEF7 I think alot of them expect the guy to pay for their dinner and entertainment.

@Adrift If that's the intention in few cases, it is prostitution under the blanket of hookup. But what percentage?

@ABCDEF7 The dating apps would probably answer that question.
