Alright, I go for the idea that love is pretty much the same as friendship. Yeah, a girl (this song is about girls, but my review goes both ways I guess) can be physically 'hot' but there's a certain physical beauty in every girl--and not all guys see it. In addition, there is a such thing as emotional beauty, or loving the person.
How does this relate to 100 Blouses? This guy either got dumped, or the girl died. (The 'drugs' could be psychiatric, perscribed by a shrink to cope with the death, for example.) Either way, he's dating many girls very quickly to find a replaement for the physical relationship that he had before.
Or is this not the reason?
I think, personally, given my belief in an emotional relationship, that this song uses sex as a metaphor. When the song says "I take you out to dinner, and then have sex with you, but you're still not her," the sex is a metaphor for his love for the first girl, which may include a physical relationship but is by no means limited to such.
I listen to this song for comfort, recently at least. Despite the implication of sex, I think there is a greater implication on the moving on aspect of a terminated (or maybe non-existant?) relationship.
