Attraction

Attraction is when you like someone more than as a friend you may think about them all the time, want to be close to them physically and/or emotionally, and you may feel aroused when you see or think about them.<br><br>There are many different types of attraction. Some of these include: 

•  Sexual attraction: the desire for sexual contact with another person(s) or showing sexual interest in another person(s). 
•  Romantic attraction: the desire for romantic contact or interaction with another person(s). 
•  Emotional attraction: the desire to get to know someone based on their personality rather than their appearance. 

Some people may experience one or a few types of attraction at a time, and some people may not experience any types of attraction.

Some people may not experience sexual attraction until they feel a close emotional connection with a person.

Sexual orientation is often the term used to describe who you are or are not attracted to in a sexual and/or romantic way.

You may be attracted to people of a different gender, or attracted to people of the same gender, or more than one gender, or to no-one in particular. This is healthy and perfectly normal. Nobody should be bullied or ashamed because of who they are, or are not, attracted to.
