The hookup itself would be Pre-Climax Climax. That trope's the closest thing I can think of, even though it doesn't necessarily require cheating.

Looking more from the motivation side, if he loses his morals/inhibitions because "nothing matters anymore," then it could be Apocalypse Anarchy and will almost certainly be the result of a Despair Event Horizon. If it's not so much nihilistic ambivalence as it is a desire to live life to its fullest while he can, then Like You Were Dying could be a better fit.

If they keep going when the nuclear war actually *starts* because they're just past the point of caring, it's also While Rome Burns.
