'''Attraction'''
==Subtypes==▼
Attraction is a major factor in an individual's [[Orientation|orientations]], since orientations are determined by what [[Gender Identity|gender identities]] or [[Gender Alignment|gender alignments]] one is attracted to.
====Physical Attraction====▼
*[[Sexual Attraction]]▼
The [[Split Attraction Model (SAM)|split attraction model (SAM)]] is often used to differentiate different forms of attraction which one may or may not experience. This model is especially common in [[Aspec|a-spectrum]] communities by individual who experience some forms of attraction but do not experience others. Not every individual finds this model helpful, however.
**Commonly a factor in sexual orientation▼
*[[Aesthetic Attraction]]▼
Individuals who do not experience any forms of attraction may use the term [[anattractional]]. Individuals who experience an attraction which they do not want to or do not feel the need to elaborate on may identify as [[orientated]].
*[[Sensual Attraction]]▼
The two most commonly discussed forms of attraction are [[sexual attraction]] and [[romantic attraction]]. Forms of attraction beyond these two are often categorized as [[Tertiary attraction|tertiary attractions]]. However, this term is controversial because it positions non-romantic, non-sexual attraction as less important. The term [[eriattraction]] was created as an alternative.

==History==
Naming and differentiating between specific subtypes of attraction has been popularized by the [[asexual]] community in the early 2000s. This is partly due to definitions of asexuality that emphasized a lack of sexual attraction.<ref>[{{Archive|Site=web|URL=https://
As early as 2003, the FAQ page of the Asexual Visibility and Education Network mentioned that some asexual individuals may experience emotional or romantic attraction.<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20030225191733/http://www.asexuality.org/bigfaq.htm AVEN FAQ (archived from 2003)]</ref>
Other subtypes, such as aesthetic and sensual attraction, also developed around or before 2006.<ref>[{{Archive|Site=web|URL=http://wiki.asexuality.org/w/index.php?title=Attraction&oldid=1792 Attraction - AVENwiki (archived from 2006)]}}</ref>
