Many people mislabel attraction as purely romantic. But many feelings qualify as attraction, from taking an interest in someone to admiring someone’s appearance to experiencing sexual feelings. Attraction is a key part of how you connect to other people and build your support network, whatever form it takes. Why does it matter? Attraction can take many forms and it’s possible to experience more than one type simultaneously. Learning about the nuanced and multifaceted nature of attraction helps us gain insight into our own feelings, as well as the boundaries we need to set to ensure those feelings are respected and understood.

Lust This describes intense feelings of passion, desire, affection, or attraction toward someone.

Subjective physical This type of physical desire or admiration involves personal feelings and individual experiences that aren’t the most people don’t necessarily share. Subjective physical attraction is often observable as physical chemistry that exists in a given relationship, connection, or interaction.
