What is Sexual attraction?
[[File:Eugen de Blaas The Flirtation.jpg|thumb|right|250px|''The Flirtation'' (1904), by [[Eugene de Blaas]]]] '''Sexual attraction''' is an [[attraction]] to other members of the same [[species]] for sexual or erotic activity. In many species this does not always mean a [[sexual intercourse|sexual act]]; indeed, some sexual [[behavior]] among [[primate]]s is mostly a social activity. == In humans == What is sexually attractive to humans may change by [[culture]] or place.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Starr|first=Robert|title=Science Scene: Sexual attraction based on cultural and individual preferences|url=https://thedailytexan.com/2015/04/01/science-scene-sexual-attraction-based-on-cultural-and-individual-preferences/|access-date=2023-01-18|website=The Daily Texan}}</ref> The sexual attraction of one person to another depends on both people. Much of human sexual [[attraction|attractiveness]] is physical (see [[beauty]]). This involves the impact one's appearance has on the [[sense]]s, especially in the beginning of a [[relationship]]: * Visual perception (how the other looks); * [[Olfaction]] (how the other smells, naturally or artificially; the wrong smell may be repellent); * Audition (how the other's voice and/or movements sound). * Vibes, sensory perception (generally biased) of another person based on one's own view or from influence from others.
