horny purchase 

when you buy something (pair of expensive boxers/lingerie set etc) whilst slightly aroused then you regret it after losing your arousal and thinking why the hell did i buy those?

the item then becomes relevant again next time you’re horny, but loses it’s relevance again after.

single people are 10x more likely to make a horny purchase, as you have to then (even slightly) regret the item given that nobody is there to appreciate it but you.
“why did you buy them expensive boxers, you’re single it’s not like anybody is going to appreciate them? “
“was a horny purchase mate”
