The '''Split Attraction Model''' is a concept used primarily within the [[LGBTQ+]] community to describe the separation of different types of attraction. This model differentiates between various forms of attraction, such as [[romantic attraction]], [[sexual attraction]], [[aesthetic attraction]], and [[platonic attraction]]. The model is particularly useful for individuals who experience these types of attraction in different ways or towards different genders.

=== Types of Attraction ===

* '''[[Romantic attraction]]''': The desire to engage in romantic relationships or activities with another person.
* '''[[Sexual attraction]]''': The desire to engage in sexual activities with another person.
* '''[[Aesthetic attraction]]''': The appreciation of another person's appearance or beauty without necessarily wanting a romantic or sexual relationship.
* '''[[Platonic attraction]]''': The desire to form close friendships or non-romantic relationships with another person.

=== Usage in the LGBTQ+ Community ===

The Split Attraction Model is particularly significant for individuals who identify as [[asexual]] or [[aromantic]]. These individuals may not experience sexual or romantic attraction, respectively, but may still experience other forms of attraction. For example, an asexual person might still experience romantic attraction, and an aromantic person might still experience sexual attraction.

=== History ===

The concept of the Split Attraction Model has evolved over time, with its roots in the broader understanding of human sexuality and relationships. It has gained more recognition and acceptance within the LGBTQ+ community as a way to better articulate and understand diverse experiences of attraction.

=== Criticisms ===

While the Split Attraction Model is helpful for many, it is not without its criticisms. Some argue that it can overly compartmentalize human experiences and that not everyone fits neatly into these categories. Others believe that it can be confusing or unnecessary for those who do not experience a significant difference between types of attraction.
