This can be distinct from sexual attraction as sexual attraction is defined as wanting to have sex with a particular individual, while alloerotism is defined as feeling sexual urges towards a particular individual. However, it is occasionally used synonymously with sexual attraction and is an umbrella term for any and all sexual fixations directed towards or caused by other individuals, whether it be sexual urges or sexual attraction.
== The History ==
Alloerotic is based on the word "allo" meaning "other" and erotic and comes from the German word alloerotisch. It was coined in the 20th century and predates the word asexual, and it's existance is a potential contributing factor why "allosexual" became the primary adjective to describe non asexuals.
