Is hook-up culture part of individualism because it commodifies other people as just sex objects? (lemmygrad.ml)

I am thinking of the mindset of wanting to hook up with as many people as possible not taking into consideration other people ‘s feelings or who might get hurt in by the process, which objectifies other individuals. That is an individualistic thought process, right?

Edit: I meant commodification in the sense of online dating apps, escort services, only fans, porn, prostitution and patriarchy. This trickles to the culture due to base and superstructure, and it is adopted by individualism.

As to prostitution and pornography, those are of course without a doubt commodification of the female body and form and cannot exist under communism.

Not sure I agree with the pornography part, depending on how you're defining pornography. That might be the case for paid pornography but I bet even under communism there will be people wanting to show themselves in sexual acts, and perhaps even more so than now as losing their jobs because people saw them online and things like that wouldn't be a problem, unless it was outright made illegal of course.

Also with extra freedoms under communism more and bigger and more inclusive communities about these things could come to exist, perhaps even involving money but not to "pay for people" but to produce content that people want to produce/consume.
