I think it's a commentary that people who are "zeros" turn to casual sex to feel like they're more than a zero. However, in the end they get to feeling shell-shocked and trashy for their behavior.
People work in their cubicles or their offices or whatever all week, feeling like a zero, a cog in the machine. When they finally get to climb out of anonymity they may turn to sexuality to feel some sort of agency, and the sex itself is the ladder.
Is it the cure? Probably not, we're just all shell-shocked and need something to feel human.
