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

Romantic attraction is where you want to hug/kiss the person, sexual attraction is... well, wanting more than that.

Sexual attraction and romantic attraction are both different depending on who you are. Typically sexual attraction is when you are attracted to a person sexually, meaning that you want to partake in sexual activities with them. Depending on who you are, a sexual activity may be having sex or it may be kissing. Romantic attraction is being attracted to somebody romantically, meaning you want to do romantic things with them (Once again, this varies from person to person, so you can make up your own definition of what "romantic things" are) Romantic things for some may be just going on dates to the movies or holding hands or cuddling. Sexual attraction and romantic attraction really vary from person to person so if you are in a relationship with a person who is ___romantic/sexual make sure you ask what they consider to be romantic/sexual so they are as comfortable as possible :)

Sexual attraction to put it simply is when you'd be interested in having sex with them. Romantic attraction is when you'd be interested in experiencing romantic interactions with them such as hold hands and/or kissing.

The different between sexual and romantic attraction is arousal. Being sexuallyt attracted to someone implies that you feel aroused towards them. You would want to sleep with them or have a sexual relationship. Romantic attraction is the opposite, You may not see them in a sexual manor but you may love them and want to be with them, go on dates. Sexual attraction is more physical, romantic attraction is emotional.

The most simplistic way to explain it is that sexual attraction is just that: a natural desire to have sex with a specific person, it can be an immediate desire upon seeing them or a more gradual one that develops over time, but in the end the base desire is for sex with that person. Romantic attraction is a desire for whatever you perceive is a romantic relationship with a specific person, can also be immediate or more gradual.

Romantic attraction is the feeling of wanting to date someone or be with them in a romantic, non-sexual scenario- like kissing, holding hands, having intimate conversations, enjoying eachothers' company. Essentially, any kind of attraction or desire not related to sex. Sexual attraction is the feeling of wanting to be with someone in a sexual way, fantasizing about them in a sexual context, and the like. Of course, these definitions vary for everyone and can be very complicated- you can have intercourse without feeling sexual attraction, and you can have sexual attraction without feeling compelled to engage in intercourse.

Romantic attraction is when you could see yourself actually being with that person, and falling in love with that person. Sexual attraction is when you can only see yourself having a sexual relationship with that person. The two can go hand-in-hand for some people, and for others the two can be very different. It just depends :)

Well romantic attraction is liking their eyes, smile, and laugh. Sexual attraction is more of their body :)

I think sexual attraction is more physical. You are attracted to the body of that person, not the person him/herself, you don't really feel the need to know that person beyond physical (if that makes sense) while romantic attraction is more the feeling in your stomach, you feel attracted to the PERSON, the personality and the physique comes second. I think in romantic attraction, you feel much, much more, you don't just want to connect with that someone on the physical level but on the emotional level too, you love them for their beauty of who they are as a person and now how beautiful their body is or is not. That's how I feel.

In my opinion, this does not mean the right or say all be all opinion, romantic attraction involves only romantic interest and interaction with another individual. Sexual attraction involves sexual interest and interaction with another individual.
