Addicted to love, beauty or sex?

Are humans so addicted to love?


On Valentine’s day it is appropriate to consider whether humans, and perhaps at least some other species, are so addicted to love that they cannot exist without it. Is love really like an addictive drug? What are the features that define perception of beauty and attraction to co-exist exclusively with others? Is sex without love simply a distraction from failure to get involved in the main event, or an admission that the main event is not primarily about sex?
