[[File:Sexual attraction.png|thumb|The sexual attraction flag.|270x270px]]'''Sexual attraction''' is a form of [[Physical Attraction|physical attraction]]
Sexual attraction can be caused by or enhanced by things such as the physical qualities, clothing, movements, voice, or other qualities of a individual. It may commonly coincide with other forms of attraction such as [[Romantic Attraction|romantic attraction]], [[Aesthetic Attraction|aesthetic attraction]], or [[Sensual Attraction|sensual attraction]]. The gender(s) one does or does not feel sexual attraction to is typically the primary thing used in determining one's [[Sexual Orientation|sexual orientation]].
Sexual attraction should not be confused with libido/sex drive or arousal. Libido may cause someone to desire sexual interaction in general but it is not directed towards a particular individual. Sexual attraction is a desire for sexual interaction with someone in particular. ▼
▲Sexual attraction should not be confused with [[Sex Drive|sex drive]] (libido
Sexual attraction also should not be confused with sexual arousal. Sexual arousal is a physical response to stimulus, often triggered by sexual stimulation or preparation for sexual interaction. While sexual attraction and sex drive both may result in sexual arousal, they are not the same thing.
An individual who regularly experiences sexual attraction would be [[allosexual]]. Someone who does not regularly experience sexual attraction may be [[asexual]] or otherwise [[Asexual Spectrum|ace-spec]].
Sexual attraction is sometimes associated with the color purple, but that color is more commonly associated with the asexual flag representing the ace-spec community.
A sexual crush may be called a smush or a lust.

The sexual attraction flag was coined by Amnisty on December 16th, 2020. The blue represents [[Sexual orientation|sexuality]], the purple represent the attraction to specific and/or all [[Gender|genders]]. The turquoise represents imagination and intimacy. The rainbow represents individuals who are attracted to the [[Gay|same gender]] or [[Multisexual|multiple genders]]. The black and greys represent individuals who are attracted to the opposite gender (such as [[straight]] or [[strayt]]) and those who are on the [[Asexual Spectrum|asexual]] or [[aromantic]] spectrums. The brown represents individuals of color, and the light tan represents those who are of lighter color.
