Well, no.  What I think the original poster was suggesting was that, since in the episode where Katze is cured of her evil ways that one of the ways that Chad “earns his keep” at the temple is carrying around things that Raye has gained through shopping, the most accurate way to describe her sexuality is to state that it is inextricably linked to her commercial impulses.
 
In other words, she’s buysexual.

If she’s getting it at the mall, perhaps she’s BUY-sexual.
