The thing you have to see in the smashing pumpkins is that they do have a mocking view to alot of things, and alot of these things still stay serious except with a darker tint sometimes. Take a song like "Bodies", it's talking about love but it's also talking about it in a negative way, but that doesn't mean he's not touching upon the subject of love in the song, just because there is also a negative tint to it.
This song I think is talking about love, yes, in a mocking way to some degree but it's can still be talking about love, not neccessarily meaningless sex.
The lyrics are in past tense: "When I lost my mind, I knew I was in for a long ride down...", meaning he's writing the song about something in his past, or thinking of love in a past tense and not neccessarily in the new and fresh atmosphere that it can often pop up in, but this song can also be thought of in the present tense, taking from past experiences. There is alot of emptiness and bitterness in this song, and I think it stems from the fact that he had a bit of a negative experience and hence the song surrounds that.
Love has a dark and light side, and this song kind of tints it in the darker side.
