The model includes several new terms and definitions:
 
 
 
*'''Primary''' sexual attraction
 
: ''an instant attraction to people based on instantly available information such as their looks or smell which may or may not lead to arousal or sexual desire''
 
 
 
*'''Secondary''' sexual attraction
 
: ''an attraction that develops over time based on a person's relationship and emotional connection with another person''
 
 
 
*'''Primary''' sexual desire
 
: ''the desire to engage in sexual activity for the purposes of personal pleasure whether physical, emotional, or both''
 
 
 
*'''Secondary''' sexual desire
 
: ''the desire to engage in sexual activity solely for the sake of the happiness of the other person involved, or for another ulterior motive such as the conception of children''
 
: Most sexuals in romantic relationships feel both primary and secondary sexual desire.
 
 
 
In Rabger's model, asexuals are people who lack '''primary''' sexual desire<!--EDITOR'S NOTE: Yes you read that correctly. This is different then AVEN's main page definition-->. Some asexuals therefore experience attraction and/or secondary sexual desire, while others do not.

The term "[[demisexual]]" tends to be used by adherents to Rabger's model of sexuality, referring to people who experience '''secondary''' sexual attraction but not '''primary''' sexual attraction.
