Is it possible for women to be addicted to the "newness" of relationships, but not the sex part? If so, is it a sexual addiction or a type of sexual addiction or is it something else?

It's called Love addiction. I bet that when that new butterfly wonderful feeling is gone the interest in the relationship is gone too? Pia Mellody wrote a book about it something like love addiciton love avoidance.
