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

With romantic attraction, you don't want to have sex with the other person. You might not be physically attracted to them at all. Sometimes it is purely the personality that you love. Romantic attraction doesn't have to be with the same sex you are sexually attracted to either.

Romantic attraction is a love of a person's heart, their soul, the way they laugh, the warm feeling in your chest you get when they joke around with you or kiss your head. Sexual attraction is a love of their body. A need to have them, regardless of wether or not their heart is involved. It is purely physical.

There is a very vague line between the two, but the way I see it sexual attraction is very physical, your body reacts to the thought of a certain person, and the primary focus is to be close to them in a sexual context, while romantic attraction is something you feel in your head and in your heart, another type of longing for an emotional bond.

Sexual attraction is purely physical. It's when you want someone only to fulfill your primary needs and feel satisfied. Romantic attraction, however, is a feeling where not only you feel physical attraction, but you seek comfort and belonging and you want to share your thoughts on unimportant subjects just so you could spend more time with other person. That being said, romantic attraction doesn't have to be followed by sexual, or other way around.

For me the difference has always been whether it is a emotional/mental attraction - romantic- or a physical attraction - sexual. Not to say that they can't coexist but there for me is the actual physical reaction and the mental one.

Romantic attraction is an interest in a romantic relationship, exchange of affection and intimacy, whereas sexual attraction is a an interest in physical intimacy. Both are neither mutually inclusive, or exclusive.

Romantic is someone you see in a loving way, you can easily love this person with there being anything sexual about it. Sexual attraction is when you find someone sexy and you would desire to have sex with them.ex. I am bi romantic, I can easily love a boy or a girl. But I am hetero sexual. Which means though I can love girls and boys I only have sexual desires attractions to boys

Sexual attraction is when you feel physically attracted to someone, meanwhile romantic is when you feel emotionally attracted to someone. Romantic attraction deals more with being in love with someone. Sexual is more about physically wanting someone.

Romantic attraction is wanting someone for the opportunity to know them as a person, find out what makes them tick. Sexual attraction is the purely instinctual desire to have sexual relations with someone. The relationship is not necessarily important.

What's the difference between asexual and homo/hetro/pan/bi? Romantic attraction and sexual attraction. Sexual attraction is when you feel the urge to have sexual relations when you are attracted to a particular person. While romantic will just mean that you would like to stay by the person you are attracted to, with no thought of having sexual relations with them
