Sexual attraction is having an intimate feeling when you like someone, want to be with them, and feel aroused thinking about them.
Sexual attraction is different for everyone. What one person finds attractive, another person might not. Many people are also not interested in having sex or don’t feel sexual attraction to other people.
Attraction can be based on many things: physical appearance, a person’s voice, or smell, what clothes they wear, their cultural background, personality, charm, etc.
Humans are diverse in terms of their sexual likes and dislikes. Sexual diversity is something that should be celebrated.
Throughout life, you will begin to recognise what you find attractive and what your sexual likes are, and you may also notice that these interests may change or develop over time.
Sexual orientation can be used to categorise different types of sexual attraction based on a person’s sex.
