What exactly constitutes attraction

[Laayiv]

Is it just looking at something and that making you horny, or does it require wanting to do something to/with it?

Hi Laayiv,

I would say that the general understanding is closer to the first thing you said. That when someone is experiencing sexual attraction, they're noticing that seeing or being around a person is making them feel arousal. That may or may not include the desire to actually act on that arousal.
