Mirous Attraction

Mirous Attraction is a type of attraction where one is sexually aroused or feeling sexually drawn to a particular person because of the way someone looks, or how they present themselves. This is distinct from sexual attraction as sexual attraction is a form of physical attraction to a individual based on a desire for sexual interaction (sexual intercourse, sexually touching/groping, etc.) with a particular individual, rather than Mirous Attraction where it is simply the desire to look at and admire/gain enjoyment from looking at someone sexually. It is similar to and is often compared to and seen as the sexual version of aesthetic attraction. It can also be described as feeling sexual feelings regarding a particular person or feeling aroused because of a particular person ,but having no desire to engage in sexual activity. It can however include or lead up to sensual activity or other attractions in terms of actions.

History
The term was created by PennedWriterz on October 4th 2021 as a way to create a term for "Person based attraction" unrelated to sexual attraction or libido. People can often mistake person based arousal as sexual attraction while one is based on a person or aspects of a person that activate ones sex drive, while the other is a direct desire for sexual desire with the person.

Etymology
The term "Mirous" comes from the Latin word "Miro" which itself is the variation of "Miror". It means "I gaze, I marvel at"
