The difference is (of course) that when you feel a romantic attraction for somebody you don't think about having sex with him/her, you think about that person as the person her/him , not like a sex toy. When you see a boy/girl who you think is just cute you are only thinking about sex

The difference between romantic attraction is that you actually want to build a future with the person there will be some sexual attraction but it wont be solely based on that. Sexual attraction is just that, sexual attraction. There is no want to build anything more on the relationship.

Sexual attraction is a feeling. When you look at someone and you think "Damn, that person is hot!". Romantic attraction is an emotion. Someone you love, no matter what, even with their flaws. Someone you can see yourself spending the rest of your days with.

Romantic orientation is when you want to date someone, or you have a crush on them. It's based off their personality or how they treat you. Sexualidad orientation is who you're sexually interested or not interested in. They can be the same, but don't have to be.

A romantic attraction can be a feeling of an emotional and/or intellectual connection, often meaning you enjoy spending time together, talking etc. Sexual attraction can be the feeling of wanting to having physical contact, often resulting in signs around the body telling you that this is the case.

Romantic attraction can usually be classified as one who does not yearn for or have interest in sexual involvement with partners. Generally this person will be fine with being in relationships and having a partner/ significant other, but will not be interested in having sex (This does not mean that they cannot become aroused or have interest in the sexual activities of say, a television character). Sexual attraction can occur with or without romantic attraction. It is simply when one has sexual feelings or is sexually involved (or would like to be sexually involved) with another person.

Romantic attraction is when your attraction to them is strictly romantic (as in pretty much everything in a relationship but sex). Sexual attraction is when you're attracted to someone sexually. So to rephrase: Romantic attraction relates to everything but the actually sex, while sexual attraction is (obviously) the sex.
