Line 1: '''Attraction''' is a type of feeling that sparks interest in a particular person. Among some people, it is useful to think of attraction in terms of particular types or categories. Other people do not find this helpful, and some do not experience attraction at all. Using or applying one of these concepts does not necessarily imply using all of the others. ==Common Subtypes== ====Physical Attraction====▼ [https://lgbta.wikia.org/wiki/Sexual_Attraction Sexual Attraction] Commonly a factor in sexual orientation▼ [[Aesthetic Attraction]]▼ [[Sensual Attraction]]▼ ====Emotional Attraction====▼ ~~(''see also [[Emotional Attraction\|emotional attraction]]'')~~ [https://lgbta.wikia.org/wiki/Romantic_Attraction Romantic Attraction] *Commonly a factor in [[Romantic Orientation\|romantic orientation]], sexual orientation, or orientation generally▼ [[Platonic Attraction]]▼ [[Queerplatonic Relationship\|Queerplatonic Attraction]]▼ [[Alterous Attraction]]▼ ▲====Physical Attraction==== == Additional Subtypes ==▼ ▲*Commonly[[Sexual attraction]] (commonly a factor in sexual orientation) ▲[[Aesthetic ~~Attraction~~attraction]] ▲[[Sensual ~~Attraction~~attraction]] ▲====Emotional Attraction==== ''{{hatnote\|Main article: [[Emotional attraction]]}}'' ▲Commonly[[Romantic attraction]] (commonly a factor in [[Romantic Orientation\|romantic orientation]], sexual orientation, or orientation ~~generally~~in general) ▲[[Platonic ~~Attraction~~attraction]] ▲[[Queerplatonic Relationship\|Queerplatonic ~~Attraction~~attraction]] ▲[[Alterous ~~Attraction~~attraction]] ▲== Additional Subtypes == Less commonly used words for types of attraction include: * [[Amical ~~Attraction~~attraction]] * [[Cedural ~~Attraction~~attraction]] * [[Familial ~~Attraction~~attraction]] * [[Mental ~~Attraction~~attraction]] * [[Presential Attraction\|Presential~~ Attraction~~ attraction]] * [[Social ~~Attraction~~attraction]] * [[Tutelary ~~Attraction~~attraction]] Forms of attraction other than romantic and sexual attraction are sometimes referred to as [[Tertiary ~~Attraction~~attraction\|tertiary attraction]],; however, that term is controversial because it positions non-romantic, non-sexual attraction as lesser than romantic and sexual attraction. ==History== Naming and differentiating between specific subtypes of attraction has been popularized by the asexual community in the early 2000s.<ref>[https://theacetheist.wordpress.com/2019/05/17/a-mini-history-of-different-types-of-attraction-in-the-ace-community/ A Mini History of Different Types of Attraction in the Ace Community]</ref> ~~</ref>~~ This is partly due to definitions of [[asexual]]ity that emphasized a lack of sexual attraction.<ref>[https://www.pillowfort.social/posts/717314 A Condensed History of Asexuals Arguing with Asexuals Over What Asexuality Is ]</ref> As early as 2003, the FAQ page of the Asexual Visibility and Education Network mentioned that some asexual people 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, also developed around or before 2006.<ref>[http://wiki.asexuality.org/w/index.php?title=Attraction&oldid=1792 Attraction - AVENwiki (archived from 2006)]</ref> As early as 2003, the FAQ page of the Asexual Visibility and Education Network mentioned that some asexual people 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, also developed around or before 2006.<ref>[http://wiki.asexuality.org/w/index.php?title=Attraction&oldid=1792 Attraction - AVENwiki (archived from 2006)]</ref> ==References== <references />~~[[Category:Terminology]]~~ [[Category:Terminology]] [[Category:Attraction]]
