MY personal definition of hooking up is anything more
than a kiss, and less that having vaginal sex. ie- rolling around on a
bed kissing passionately and groping even with all clothing intact
borders on the definition of a hook up, oral sex is defintely a hook up,
but sexual intercourse is jsut plain sex. however a lot of people use
hookup as a euphemism for sex so that they won't be stigmatized as
promiscuous i presume.
