I personally hate that definition. It leaves out so much nuance.

What is your definition then? I'm not trying to be difficult or give you a hard time, I'm just really curious. Not knowing how to define sexual attraction is the main reason I'm still not sure what my sexuality is.

I think the Wikipedia definition is a good start at least:

Sexual attraction is attraction on the basis of sexual desire or the quality of arousing such interest.

Like...you can be attracted to someone on the basis of sexual desire without actively wanting to fuck them. You can also be attracted to someone without immediately being aroused. It's kind of hard to explain in really tangible terms what the difference between sexual and aesthetic attraction is even though I experience both - it's just a different mental, emotional, and sometimes physical reaction when I look at someone attractive. Sometimes you just get that quick adrenaline burst, sometimes you just know that if you got the chance to get close to them, you'd take it.

I'm not actively looking for a sexual partner and in my entire life the number of people I've actively wanted to sleep with is one. But I have experienced sexual attraction to many.

Thanks for your explanation, but wow, that still makes no sense to me at all. Like, I can get the "you just know that if you got the chance to get close to them, you'd take it" but being close to them isn't the same thing as sex. Unless you're using "get close to them" as code for sex in which case...if it means basically that if you had the chance to have sex with them you'd take it, how is that different than wanting to have sex with them? To me, WANTING to have sex with them isn't the same thing as actively pursuing sex with them.

Sorry for not getting it, apparently I'm just an idiot. :(

I don't want to have sex with most of the people I'm attracted to. I guess to me wanting something implies you would try to get it if you could? Otherwise the word is kind of meaningless.

You can be attracted to someone physically and not want to have sex with them for a large variety of reasons. Or because maybe you're just not interested in sex.
