"Hookups," or uncommitted sexual encounters, are becoming progressively more engrained in popular culture, reflecting both evolved sexual predilections and changing social and sexual scripts. Hook-up activities may include a wide range of sexual behaviors, such as kissing, oral sex, and penetrative intercourse. However, these encounters often transpire without any promise of, or desire for, a more traditional romantic relationship. A review of the literature suggests that these encounters are becoming increasingly normative among adolescents and young adults in North America, representing a marked shift in openness and acceptance of uncommitted sex. We reviewed the current literature on sexual hookups and considered the multiple forces influencing hookup culture, using examples from popular culture to place hooking up in context. We argue that contemporary hookup culture is best understood as the convergence of evolutionary and social forces during the developmental period of emerging adulthood. We suggest that researchers must consider both evolutionary mechanisms and social processes, and be considerate of the contemporary popular cultural climate in which hookups occur, in order to provide a comprehensive and synergistic biopsychosocial view of "casual sex" among emerging adults today.
“勾搭”，即未经承诺的性接触，在流行文化中愈发根深蒂固，反映了进化而来的性偏好以及不断变化的社会和性观念。勾搭行为可能包括广泛的性行为，如接吻、口交和性交。然而，这些接触往往在没有任何对更传统浪漫关系的承诺或渴望的情况下发生。对文献的回顾表明，这些接触在北美青少年和年轻人中变得越来越普遍，这代表了在对无承诺性行为的开放性和接受度上的显著转变。我们回顾了当前关于性勾搭的文献，并通过流行文化中的例子来将勾搭行为置于背景中，考量了影响勾搭文化的多种因素。我们认为，当代勾搭文化最好被理解为在成年初显期的发展阶段中进化力量和社会力量的交汇。我们建议研究人员必须同时考虑进化机制和社会过程，并且要顾及勾搭行为发生的当代流行文化氛围，以便对当今成年初显期的“随意性行为”提供一个全面且协同的生物心理社会视角。
