Does being sexually aroused around a person mean being attracted to that person? Are you lying to yourself if you are turned on but are still saying that person is unattractive?
In my opinion the answer isn't black and white. Physical attraction does not mean that there is enough mental or spiritual attraction to stay with that person. But if you are sexually aroused, then that means there must physical attraction...
...But then again, it's possible to get the physiological reaction of arousal even if you are repulsed by the person (or is it?).
...However if you are willingly engaging in sexual activities, I think you can't say that you are physically not attracted to that person (of course, you can, but in my opinion you are lying to yourself).

Attraction, especially sexual attraction, is not a choice. I'm attracted to a lot of women I would NEVER date.
I think you can be sexually aroused anticipating the act that is going to occur or during the act, but not necessarily because of the person you are doing it with.

So, the man in the certain thread cannot logically claim that he was physically not attracted to the woman if he was willingly able to have sex with her, right? Even if she isn't the top of his standards.

So it's possible to be attracted to sex itself but not necessarily the body or the person you are engaging with?
Then is it possible to be both mentally repulsed yet physically attracted?
If someone is walking around in heat all the time, to the point that they are getting aroused by strangers they don't find attractive...it's time to get laid. Work off some of that sexual tension and frustration.

I think you're splitting hairs, but I guess?
I'll put it this way. If I was drunk enough in the past, I may have gone home with a 6. Yeah, at the time, I was sexually attracted to her. Do I think she's hot? Probably not. Would I date her, no. Sooooo I guess my point is, there are levels of attraction. You can't really have this logical circle that is a yes or no do I think a woman is attractive.

Well if the lack of attraction goes so far as being repulsed by the other person, I can't see why one would want to have sex with that person.
I'm talking more about someone that doesn't elicit a strong response either way. You aren't attracted to them physically or sexually, but they don't repulse you either.
I hate to bring up the "r" word, but in many rape cases it has to be argued that just because the person's body reacted to specific stimuli, doesn't mean that they wanted the act to happen.
In a general, non-coerced encounter, even though one may be turned on, one still has the mental capacity to walk away if they know the situation isn't ideal.
