Advantages of Hooking Up: Why It Is So Much Fun

What makes it so much fun

The one post under this topic opens with a list of what is good about hooking up.

It sets hooking up beside good food, good drinks and good company, then insists it has a place of its own. The writer’s verdict: there really is nothing like it. Part of the appeal is meeting someone new, with the “will we, won’t we” tension that comes with it. Part is the courtship dance, which can run for weeks or wrap up in a few hours and is never quite the same twice. And part is reach: you can hook up at work, at a wedding, on a plane, in the street and, yes, on a train.

The post then turns practical, with three rules for a carriage.

• Come at the person from the front or the side, so they can see you.
• Wait for a quiet moment, so you can be heard over the noise.
• Say something, anything, because taking action is half the win.

For the bigger picture, our guides explain what a hookup is and how to go about one, and the casual sex dating page covers Australia.
