What Are the Different Types of Attraction?

What is attraction?

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.

There are mainly five types of attraction: Emotional, Romantic, Sexual, Physical, Aesthetic.

Emotional attraction: This type of attraction isn’t necessarily physical in nature and is rooted in a desire for connection because of someone’s heart, mind, or personality.

Types of Emotional attraction:

Alterous: This describes the desire for a type of emotional relationship and emotional closeness that the terms “platonic” or “romantic” don’t feel like they accurately characterize.

Attachment: Attachment refers to a type of bond or connection that’s often necessary or present in committed or long-term relationships of any kind.

Intellectual: This type of attraction isn’t necessarily physical in nature and is rooted in a desire for connection due to someone’s intelligence.

Love: The meaning of love and things associated with love can vary from person to person, relationship to relationship, and across cultures.

Passion: This describes feelings of deep desire, intense emotion, or strong enthusiasm.

Platonic: This is the nonsexual or nonromantic desire to be in a relationship with someone. Friendships, for example, are often platonic.

Protective: This describes attraction toward those who require caretaking, such as a child, pet or loved one.

Squish: The desire for a strong, nonromantic relationship often includes elements of emotional depth or intimacy.

Social: Wanting to be a well-known person.

Zucchini: A desire for being in queerplatonic relationships.

Romantic attraction: This can describe a deep emotional interest or connection that isn’t purely physical or sexual in nature.

Types of romantic attraction:

Alloromantic: This describes people who experience romantic attraction.

Amatonormativity: A social force that presumes romantic relationships are more ideal or “the norm” for everyone, subsequently viewing this type of relationship as more valid than or superior to others.

Aromantic: Also known as “aro,” this identifier describes the spectrum of people who experience little to no romantic attraction or desire for a romantic relationship.

Autoromantic: This describes those who experience romantic attraction to themselves.

Biromantic: This describes the experience of being romantically attracted to people of two or more genders.

Crush: The object of someone’s romantic attraction or the desire for a romantic relationship with someone.

Demiromantic: On the aromantic spectrum, demiromantic describes those who only experience romantic attraction after developing an emotional connection.

Grayromantic: On the aromantic spectrum, grayromantic describes someone who rarely experiences romantic attraction or only experiences romantic attraction under particular circumstances.

Heteroromantic: This describes those who are romantically attracted to members of the “opposite” sex or gender.

Homoromantic: This describes those who feel romantic attraction to members of the same sex or gender.

Panromantic: This describes someone who’s capable of experiencing romantic attraction to people of all gender identities.

Polyromantic: This describes someone who experiences romantic attraction towards people of many, but not necessarily all, gender identities.

Sexual attraction: This attraction takes the form of the desire for intimately physical or sexual contact with someone.

Types of sexual attraction:

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

Objective sexual: This type of attraction occurs when the majority of people consider someone sexually attractive, even if you personally don’t experience sexual attraction toward them.

Subjective sexual: This describes sexual feelings or the desire for sexual contact based on personal feelings and individual experiences that aren’t necessarily shared by the majority.

Physical attraction: This describes the desire for touch or to receive touch — not necessarily in a romantic or sexual way. For example, this can include hugging or kissing a family member or petting a dog.

Types of physical attraction:

Intimacy: This term describes physical, sexual, romantic, or emotional closeness between people in personal relationships of any kind.

Objective physical: This type of attraction occurs when the majority of people consider someone physically attractive, even if you personally don’t feel attraction around their physical appearance.

Subjective physical: This type of physical desire or admiration involves personal feelings and individual experiences that aren’t most people don’t necessarily share.

Sensual: Very similar to physical attraction, sensual attraction describes a desire to touch or receive touch that isn’t necessarily sexual in nature.

Aesthetic attraction: Aesthetic attraction refers to the ability to admire someone’s appearance without the need or desire to have physical, sexual, or romantic contact with them. . For example, you may think the way a person dresses makes you feel romantic or sexual attraction, while you also find them aesthetically attractive.

Asexual labels explained using cereal

You are in a kitchen, opening a pantry door. It contains every brand of cereal in existence.

Libido- How hungry you are

Sexual Attraction- How appealing each cereal is to you

Sex-Repulsed- The mere act of eating cereal disturbs you. You flee the kitchen to watch Netflix instead.

Sex-Indifferent- Someone brings you a bowl of cereal. Even though you don’t crave cereal, you decide to eat some anyway. Maybe because you want the person to feel happy you’re eating something they provided you. Maybe you’re just that hungry. Regardless, you’re fine with eating it since it’s already there. If it wasn’t, you wouldn’t care either.

Sex-favorable- Though you don’t particularly crave cereal, the act of eating cereal is enjoyable. So enjoyable, you go through the trouble of picking a brand to eat.

Asexual with low/no libido- You are rarely hungry, and none of the cereal appeals to you.

Asexual with average/high libido- You are often hungry, but none of the cereal appeals to you.

Aegosexual- Eating cereal sounds fun in theory but not in practice. You certainly have no interest in eating cereal yourself. You’d rather fantasize about other people eating cereal, thankyouverymuch.

Gray Asexual- You only like Lucky Charms and Apple Jacks. And maybe Fruity Pebbles but you’re not quite sure.

Demisexual- You see a box of Trix. You are familiar with the rabbit on the box, due to the commercials you’ve seen. You always sympathized with the rabbit for never getting any Trix. There are things in life you’ve wanted but have never gotten. You feel a bond with the rabbit. Suddenly that box of Trix looks tasty.

Fraysexual- You see a box of Cocoa Puffs. You have never heard of Cocoa Puffs in your life. But something about it is oh-so-appealing. You pour yourself a bowl. As you start to eat, you catch a commercial for Cocoa Puffs on TV. You now know what the mascot on the box is like. You lose interest in Cocoa Puffs for reasons you cannot explain.

Lithosexual- You notice a box of Fruit Loops. You feel an urge to eat it. Toucan Sam comes to life and asks you to eat them. This makes you uncomfortable, so you leave to watch Netflix with the sex-repulsed ace.

Reciprosexual- You have no interest in any of the cereal. Not even that box of Frosted Flakes. But Tony the Tiger shows up wanting you to eat the Frosted Flakes. Now that he wants you to eat Frosted Flakes, you want to eat Frosted Flakes.

Cupiosexual- You want to eat cereal, but none of the cereal looks appealing. Maybe if you grab that box of Corn Flakes, it’ll become appealing to you later? It’s happened to other people. You consider grabbing that box of Corn Flakes, just in case.

Orchidsexual- Some of the cereal looks appealing, but you have no interest in eating cereal.

Aceflux- None of the cereal looks good, so you close the pantry. A few days later, you decide to open the pantry again. Now, some of those brands look appetizing. You check the pantry again the next day. None of the cereal looks good anymore.

Quoisexual- You have no idea if you like a cereal because you want to eat it, or if you just think the box art is pretty. Does liking the box art count as wanting to eat it? Do you just like the mascot? Does liking the mascot count as wanting to eat the cereal? After reading everything I’ve written, you are still confused. You bang your head against the pantry in frustration.

Rūrangi (2020).

A trans man reunites with his ex-boyfriend. ID in alt.

For a review of Rūrangi, see this link. It's a movie about being trans, being Māori, discovering your sexuality, being exhausted by activism, and reconnecting with family. It was originally released as a series, but was re-released as a feature film later.

Caz, the trans protagonist, is played by a trans male actor (Elz Carrad). All trans characters are played by trans actors. The writer (Cole Meyers) is trans. Tweedie Waititi, Taika Waititi's sister, was brought in as a consultant to develop the film's Māori storylines.

I highly recommend this film.

Because I failed to include this in the original post, here's where you can access it!

SBS On Demand:

Free!

Movie version.

Requires Australian VPN if you're elsewhere.

Hulu:

Free trial.

Episode version.

Requires Australian VPN if you're elsewhere.

NEON:

Free trial.

Movie version.

Requires New Zealand VPN if you're elsewhere.

Apple TV/iTunes:

£9.99.

Movie version.

Depends on location, may require VPN.

I would personally recommend accessing Rūrangi through legal means (purchasing it or watching it through a streaming subscription), because it deserves your money and clicks. Not only was a trans man cast in the central role, but 59% of the cast and crew were non-binary, and the motto of the film is "by us and about us". If anything deserves your hard-earned dollars, it's Rūrangi. They set out to make a good movie, and they managed to do that while employing members of our community. Beyond the groundbreaking representation and behind-the-scenes inclusivity, it's just... a genuinely touching, watchable production.

But! I know that not everybody can afford to pay for media. If you can, please do ❤️
