'''Attraction'''
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.
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.
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]].
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>
