Sexual Health Is sexual tension always mutual or can it be one-sided?

I've never fully understood this. Is sexual tension like always a mutual thing? Or can it sometimes be one-sided? There's this dude at school and I'm always feelin' like hella lot of sexual tension but I am confused if he feels it too. I mean, it could very well be just my imagination running wild x_x Max confused here.

12 32i think you can tell if it's mutual by watching for signs like them looking at you a lot or trying not to but appearing restless.
It can be one sided like when I sat next to a cute girl on a bus I think we both felt it, she was blushing :P. But then very heavily one sided, I had a b*ner at 9 years old when my primary school teacher leaned over in front of me revealing her cleavage haha xDD and then many other times in high school :/
Oops, the Bus one I meant mutual*
it can be one sided it's called a crush or a thing for. the person could be totally unaware of it sometimes that makes it hotter because it's more of a fantasy
Nope. I don't have sexual tension with all of my crushes :x
oh and I also don't have a crush on this motherfucker...
lol why just because its sexual and not romantic? i don't understand the difference...
that's just how it is!
lol women...
It can be both I think
one sided usually, but if its both sides its magical
for any real passion or chemistry to happen though it has to be nutual
I believe it's always mutual. Tension can be romantic or it could be aggression between two people, or things being "tense".
You can feel sexual tension when you meet someone who shares the same feelings.
sexual tension is defined as wehn its apparant that two people want to have sex so yes it has to be mutual for it to be "tension"
"Max confused here."
Was this a personal question to me?
Yeah, obviously.
Happy to help! It's not ALWAYS one-sided, someone brings something to the table the other doesn't want and… BAM SEXUAL TENSION
It can definitely be just one sided like when I thought my teacher was hot when i was 12🙈😂
It can be one side. In the majority of the cases, the one side is a man/boy.
It can be one sided
It can definitely be one sided
It can easily be one-sided. Of course if both sides are attractive there's normally some mutual interest,
It doesn't HAVE to be mutual
Most times it's just one sided
Well if it's mutual than its sexual tension. If it's one sided then it's misread as creepy, at least for guys.
It's usually not mutual, at least not in my case.
Many times it is on both ends.
Can be one sided
