I’ve seen various iterations of the types of attraction/desire that people feel and I wanted to make my own. This is not meant to be prescriptive or exclusionary. Everyone’s personal experiences and feelings are valid.

Here’s 4 types of attraction/desire. I kept it simple. Each is a spectrum. Each can be experienced independently or in conjunction with (or as part of) one or more of the others.
