So apparently I might be confusing aesthetic attraction with sexual attraction?

Aesthetic attraction is appreciating someone's appearance and sexual attraction is the desire to engage in sexual activity with them. Does that help at all?

But then I look at her and I get butterflies (I know I’m a lesbian). And I think “omg she’s so gorgeous and cute and omg ahhh”

But like is that feeling sexual attraction? Bc in my head I’m not exactly like “I wanna have sex with her”. It’s more like blush and I guess if I think about it, I think it’s sexual attraction, but I’m also like looking at her (not necessarily her body) and she’s so cute and her face is gorgeous (like attracted to it ig?) and it’s a different feeling than looking at the man and thinking he’s pretty

Ig my confusion is in part from that when I realize I wanna kiss someone, I usually think in my head “I wanna kiss you” and then I realize that I wanna kiss the person, but I don’t rlly ever think “I wanna have sex with you”
