Sorry to break it out to you, but payday loans aren't orgasmic. Everything else fits. It's quick and easy to get an online payday loan, it could be something impulsive, and it may lead to regrets after a few months if you're not careful.

An addendum — having read Mark Greif’s piece I see he makes this argument about marriage, as a process of subjectification complicit with neoliberalism.

So I don’t disagree with Greif, or his argument — it’s simply that it seems more problematic when decontextualized.

Sex — particularly the Western notion of romantic love — can easily serve as a form of subjectification, a mode by which the seductive private sphere lets us forget the existence of the public.

As “sex” is generally conceived as a totally private act, with few concrete public implications beyond social recognition, the relegation of love to the individual realm can give implicit consent violent, destructive social orders.

So one can easily view the myth of romantic love — as a form of individual transcendence by which one privately rejects the economic frame of utility — as part and parcel of neoliberal expansion, which thrives on the privatization of all elements of life.

Yes, “love making is [often] not a market transaction” — but today, that is not enough.
