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

Sexual attraction is attraction to a person's physical being; you feel attracted to them and would like to have coitus with them. Romantic attraction is more where you feel attracted to their innate being; you feel attracted to them and would like to have dinner with them.

Romantic attraction is the desire to be with another person romantically, sharing time and affection. Sexual attraction is the desire to sexually interact with another person, through touching or intercourse. One can be present without the other.

The line between romantic and sexual attraction differs from person to person. Romantic attraction, however, tends to be for things like hugging, holding hands, being together, and (for some people but not all) kissing/cuddling. Sexual attractions are the more heavy parts of a relationship like touching each other under clothes (or even over them), intercourse, and other varying levels of physical interactions. As I've stated though, the exact distinction between the two varies from person to person.

Romantic attraction is defined as Romantic attraction is an emotional response that most people often feel that results in a desire for a romantic relationship with the person that the attraction is felt towards. Many asexual people experience romantic attraction even though they do not feel sexual attraction. So romantic attraction is more a feeling of love like a deeper friendship without getting too physical or just not really desiring sexual interaction. Sexual attraction is desire based on sexual means and can be very physical.

The difference between a romantic attraction and a sexual attraction is in a romantic attraction you are attracted to them romantically (meaning you want to have a relationship with them) and a sexual attraction means you want to have sex with them. Nothing else.

Romantic attraction is when you experience a deep connection with someone emotionally such as "love". . With sexual attraction it's more of "lust" rather than "love".

Romantic attraction is a pull to do romantic things with a specific person. Things like, going on dates, buying them flowers, cuddling, sometimes kissing, really just anything you feel is romantic. Sexual attraction is not something I've felt personally, but I've heard it described as a gut pull to do something sexual with a specific person. Some describe it as a need or a warm sensation.

Sometimes one can lead to the other, sometimes not. Romantic attraction is when you desire an emotional relationship with that person and sexual is when you desire a physical relationship.

Romantic attraction is less to do with sexual urges, and more with personality and feelings while sexual attraction is more physical admiration and possible thoughts involving sexual material

I think romantic attraction is wanting the person for all their flaws. To be attracted to them for their personality and want to stand beside them, even through their darker moments. Sexual attraction is more about the body.
