If you are for example homoromantic -you don't want to have sex with the person or intimate stuff (i think its a part of the asexualcommunity) and if you are homosexual you want also sex with the person or intimate stuff

Romantic attraction, put into simple words would be "wow I want to marry him/her/they" and possibly not being interested in sex. And sexual attraction would be "wow I would like to have coitus with him/her/they". For example, I am a lesbian who is also panromantic. Meaning, I would be able to be with a female, and also have sex with her. But, panromantic being, I could get romantically attracted to anyone of any gender. So, an even simpler example: -Asexual -Homoromantic A person who is not willing to have sex with anyone/doesn't feel a sex drive, but, is romantically interested in someone of the same sex. Hope this helped!

Romantic attraction is where you really like a person and want to be around them, and go on dates and kiss. Sexual attraction is where you want to have relations, or procreate with the other person, they arouse you.

Romantic attraction is when you see yourself holding hands, talking, cuddling, watching movies, doing things you like with this person, creating memories, laughing, crying, talking about everything and nothing. Sexual attraction is when you desire a person physically, wanting to kiss and have sex with them and not feeling interested in doing anything else with them and not feeling an emotional bond or connection to them.

Sexual attraction: all you want is sex. Romantic attraction: sex is not all that matters. That's the general baseline

Romantic attraction is wanting to date or otherwise be close to someone. Sexual attraction is wanting to have sex with someone. Additionally, there is sensual attraction, which is wanting to have physical contact with someone, such as cuddling.

Sexual Attraction is, quite basically, the feeling a person experiences where they want to engage in sexual activities with a certain person. This feeling is an unconscious response that would normally occur due to physical/emotional factors related to the other person involved. (Please note that it is possible to be aroused by stimulation or sexual imagery but not experience attraction to a person.) Keeping this in mind, romantic attraction is an emotional response that a person may often feel in response to a desire for a romantic relationship with the person whom they feel this attraction for.

Romantic attraction means you're falling love with someone's personality and who they are. Sexual attraction is when you like someone from the outside, their appearance. At least that's how I understand it.

Romantic and sexual attraction are two things that might seem as the same thing but are,in fact very different.Romantic attraction comes with feelings of affection,it's all about the feelings,the heart,the butterflies in your tummy.Whereas sexual attraction doesnt necessarily come with romantic feelings and it could be just a physical,raw need.
