sexual attraction

The capacity an individual has for sexual attraction towards others; the attraction one feels towards another for physically intimate behaviour; it may be experienced in varying degrees, such as an intense attraction, a little attraction or no attraction (e.g. asexual).

This may be aligned with an individual’s romantic or emotional attraction, or may not – such as individuals who may be sexually attracted to two or many genders, but only romantically attracted to one (e.g. bisexual/heteroromantic).
