The song is from the perspective of someone who doesn't understand "selfless" love and can only understand selfish motivations. So they conclude that everyone else is the same, with only selfish love. They pick and choose who they proclaim to love (and seduce and sleep with) for their own selfish benefits. They assume that everyone who doesn't go for their own benefit like is doing it out of cowardice, not because of any emotional attachment to those they dismiss as "dirt".
The meaning of the ritual, the reason for sex, for them is lacking in any expression of intimacy and just a selfish fulfilment of carnal needs.
The ritual is sex.
