A completly unemotional sexual act done for the sole reason that it feels good. This can range from making out to sex and everything in between. You do not call hook ups back at a a later time and ask to go on a date, and ususally they are spontaneouse, so dont call back looking for more action either.
I was hitting on this hot lifeguard and she took me into the pump room and blew me, it was a great hook up.
