Sexual attraction: What's the difference between romantic attraction and sexual attraction?

romatic attraction is caring.. the true lov involvment is compulsory where as in the other side its bcoz of hormone s generated by our body

Romantic attraction is being in love. the desire to have romantic relationship and romantic activities. Sexual attraction is the desire to have sexual activities with someone (or someones), to who you are sexually attracted. Although they usually go together, they don't have to be connected also, I know some people who are sexually bi and romantically hetero for example.

When you are romantically attracted to someone in my opinion you can't take your mind off of how great they are. You just want to talk to them every second of everyday and you just never get bored with them. You want to show how much you care with small gestures or just try to do anything to make them happy and keep them smiling. Sexual attraction is basically lust. It is not love, it's being physically attracted to someone based more off of looks than personality. Mostly you think about having intercourse with the person and that's about it.

Romantic attraction is wanting to be with that person, and do cute couple things with them, meanwhile sexual attraction is being attracted to their body, and wanting to have sex. Both types of attraction are normal, but not everybody feels them in the same way. You can feel on, but the other, or maybe not feel either of them at all.

Romantic attraction involves feelings and sexual attraction involves genitalia. They can be related or unrelated.

Romantic attraction is the feeling of willing to take someone in your arms for instance, or cuddle them, kiss them... Sexual attraction is willing to have sex with them, even if it is without penetration.

Sexual attraction generally consists of a physical desire to be with someone, but may not necessarily include any sort of emotional attachment

In short: romantic attraction is who you fall in love with and would like to go out with, while sexual attraction is who you are attracted to sexually and would like to sleep with. The two often overlap, but not always -- there's plenty of examples of people feeling one without the other, such as one night stands that are often based on lust (sexual attraction) and not a long-lasting emotional bond (romantic attraction).

Romantic attraction is when you want somebody to love. You want a relationship with that person, regardless of sex or not. Sexual attraction is when you like someone's body, or you desire sexual activity with them. You may know you are experiencing sexual attraction when you have one night stands but have no desire in continuing a relationship with that person.

Romantic attraction is about who you are interested in having a relationship with, whereas sexual attraction is about who you would want to have intimate, physical contact with.
