It that is true, you are in an abusive relationship.

Leave.

I think that the US is just really afraid to talk openly about our relationships with other people.

I agree with you completely. The problem is that I don't think the behavior you're encouraging solves that.

Talking about hookups is almost always about objectification: it's encouraging people to talk openly about relationships, yes, but relationships between people and objects of sexual gratification rather than between actual mature adults.

I always find it fascinating how the prevailing christian attitudes about sex have spread so well to the entire population, even as that same population is less and less christian.

In this case, you are implying that mature adults sex lives should not include one night stands with people they have no emotional attachment to. Why?

You miss the point, deliberately and repeatedly. This is glorifying the treating of women as objects, and bragging about having done so.

I think that the US is just really afraid to stop using the word "literally" incorrectly.

(yes, I know they changed the definition. I pretend it never happened!)
