if I'm not mistaken (and the poster isn't trolling)

The particular expressions of a sexual identity group (i.e. sexual identities> subgroup > straight people) can be spoken about in a way that is not merely at face value (i.e. straight people talking about sexual tension as more than just two vaguely attractive people glancing at each other, but what are the elements that suggest there is something more happening? What is the cultural context and historical background of the society and what would be considered sexual advances in this society? what of the relationship between the two people? etc, maybe go deeper etc) while realizing that the particular instance being spoken about can vary when looking at all of the identities and contexts therein.

Did I only obfuscate the meaning? Basically, from what I gather, chemistry can mean a lot of different things to many different people, even if you and your friends think chemistry means A, someone else can see it as B.

I'd argue there is a point to that, but it seems to be that the basis for tensions or chemistry is a mix of the characters finding each other in some way attractive but something holds either character back from acting on any desires. The attraction and desire must be mutual. Just my two cents. Or at least that's how I've always seen sexual tension. I'll admit my bias as a straight lady, but I've seen similar tension written for men & men or women & women. He'll, I thought there was chemistry between Morgana and Morgaine in Arthur! Only later d I'd I realize they were sisters. For chemistry, the characters must create an energy together.

Even if this was all for a troll, it was fun to write.
