Do you currently have a crush on someone? Are you in love? How about the interest in the psychology of attraction? Even though we are not here to discuss the science of attraction and how attraction happens in the brain, we are here to discuss the five types of attraction: sexual attraction, romantic attraction, sensual attraction, aesthetic attraction, and platonic attraction. Which of these types of attractions have you experienced so far? Are there any we missed?

A platonic relationship is a close relationship between two persons in which sexual desire is nonexistent.

Sensual Attraction is the desire to have physical, but not inherently sexual, contact with a specific person.

Romantic Attraction is usually assumed to be bundled with sexual attraction, or that they are one and the same.

Sexual attraction is pretty self explanatory.

Aesthetic Attraction is the pleasure in the appearance of a specific person in the same way you might find a piece of artwork or pretty scenery.
