Hookup culture drained my emotions.
So since 18 I was into the hookup culture and for almost 10 years I try to stop. I don't why I did not stop and times I try to stop... I don't know why I could not stop. Maybe to fill in the void of my broken heart of past romance realtionships or maybe I'm dealing with a bad friend who decided to use me for his experiment (not forced there was consent)... I hope therapy helps me through this.

Maybe this realization can begin your road to feeling emotions again. Hook up culture definitely has a tendency to trivialize a lot of romance to the point where relationships and things become solely for pleasure. It's super difficult to get out of especially when you're already deep in the motions and patterns of it, but recovery really does start with just a realization. Hoping for the best.
I can tell you I have felt the same way since I was younger and now I'm thirty three, it was not too difficult consider it quitting cold turkey.
At many times I tried to quit I could not resist but if you break into the reality of these industries you will find you have been right all along because these industries are bent on emotional destruction.
Maybe I did not involve myself into these business because I did not meet the requisition is best way to put it I'm alright in the end and happy holidays.
