Now we can get into the primary differences of sexuality and romance.

#1 What the feelings are based on.

Sexuality is based primarily on the sex organs of a person.

Romance is based primarily on sex organs, personality, & physical looks of a person.

#2 What they are and what they mean.

Sexuality is what sex you are physically aroused to and would willingly have sex or pursue a sexual relationship with.

Romance is who you have romantic feelings (like/love) towards and would like to pursue a romantic relationship with.

#3 The feelings needed for the relationships.

For a sexual relationship, you only need a physical or sexual attraction to someone. Romantic feelings are not obligatory to have sex with someone.

For a romantic relationship, you only need romantic feelings (like/love) for someone. Sexual feelings are not obligatory to have a relationship with someone.

The primary similarity is that sometimes the romance & sexualities can line up.

I'm a prime example. I am both biromantic & bisexual. I am sexually aroused by men & woman and I can have romantic feelings for both men & women.

However, just because some people's romance & sexuality lines up does not mean that they are the same thing. They are still vastly different and will always be different.
