[[File:Aesthetic attraction.png|thumb|The aesthetic attraction flag.]]'''Aesthetic attraction''' is a form of [[Physical Attraction|physical attraction]] to a person's appearance. It is defined as an attraction to the way someone looks, or how they present themselves. It is typically based on a desire to observe someone because one finds them aesthetically pleasing. It is often described as a similar feeling to looking at a nice painting or landscape
Among [[Allosexual|allosexuals]] and/or [[Alloromantic|alloromantics]], aesthetic attraction is commonly felt alongside [[Sexual Attraction|sexual]] and/or [[Romantic Attraction|romantic attraction]], and is sometimes considered a necessary element of the experience. However, aesthetic attraction can sometimes be felt separately from other forms of attraction. In the [[A-Spec|a-spec]] community, it is typically useful to distinguish aesthetic attraction from sexual and romantic attraction.
