I think this is more of a collegiate term for making out. That's the term we used in college in the '80s and that's the term they use at my daughter's school now. She thought it meant sex, too, and was really aghast at the open talk about lots of people "hooking up" at parties, etc. Then her roommate told her the term was for making out, and she felt relieved that she wasn't going to an orgy school!
