What is the Marxist view on hookups? Freedom or capitalist alienation from emotion and commodification of the human body?

I don't think you can view hookups outside of their material conditions. Hookups under capitalism are transactional because everything is.
this is the only take imo, hookups in a communist society would have a completely different character to what they are now. People hookup casually now id say primarily cause they want/need to have some human affection or are bored, and that is a symptom of our society where people are largely alienated from that
