New relationship energy. New relationship energy (often abbreviated as NRE) is a state of mind experienced at the beginning of most significant sexual and romantic relationships, typically involving heightened emotional and sexual receptivity and excitement.

NRE is also discussed by Easton and Liszt in The Ethical Slut, Greenery Press 1997. [edit] Related terms[edit] Puppy love carries a connotation of immaturity, transience, and superficiality.
