Romantic attraction seeks affection. Sexual attraction seeks lust/sexual activity. Someone who is romantically attracted would want to be exclusive in some way. Sexual attraction is wrapped in the physical aspect and not much else.

Love and lust, two very different things, often mistaken for the same thing. A loving sexual relationship is much different than just a normal sexual relationship when you find each other attractive. It's usually the heat of the moment.

Romantic attraction is a feeling of emotional love. You enjoy the other person's company, personality, and aspects of them that include but are most definitely not limited to physical. Sexual attraction is love exclusively for a person's body. It is also referred to as lust. When sexual and romantic attraction coexist, a healthy partnership is created.

Romantic attraction tends to relate to things like hugging, kissing, holding hands, etc. Sexual attraction is sexual acts. Someone could have no interest in sex, but they could still have a romantic attraction to someone. Or it could work the other way round.
