'''Mirous Attraction''' is a type of attraction where one has a [[Libidospike|libido spike]] (a [[non-libidoist]] becoming a [[libidoist]] due to an individual) or feeling sexually drawn to someone because of the way they look or how they present themselves. This is distinct from [[Sexual Attraction|sexual attraction]], as sexual attraction is a form of physical attraction based on a desire for sexual interaction (sexual intercourse, sexually touching/groping, etc) with a particular individual, whereas mirous attraction 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/seen as the sexual version of [[Aesthetic Attraction|aesthetic attraction]]. It can also be described as a strong desire to gaze in admiration at someone who incites sexual interest/sexual-related thoughts or feelings. This can include their physical features, their curves and shape, their bearing, how they move, how they dress, etc.
== History ==
The term was coined by PennedWriterz on October 4, 2021, as a way to create a term for "individual-based attraction" unrelated to sexual attraction or libido. One can often mistake individual-based arousal as sexual attraction; however, one is based on an individual or aspects of an individual that activate one's sex drive, while the other is a direct desire for sexual actions with the individual. It was also created as an alternative term for [[Miransexual|miransexuality]] (or visual sexual attraction) as a separate attraction label, as the term "visual sexual attraction" implies sexual attraction.
== Etymology ==
The term "mirous" comes from the Latin word "''miro''" which itself is the variation of "''miror.''" It means "I gaze, I marvel at."
