Hey sport, I’ll talk about this.
There are 2 main sensations I’d classify it all under.
*1 = Pleasure.
*2 = Thirst.
When we look at something that we think is sexy, it is pleasurable to look at, and we like the way it looks, and then there is the potential thirst or craving for more – later on.
The biology behind this is simple. Reproduction, but the intelligence+pleasure has a new effect aswel, the social effect.
Simply, in social relationships of any kind, one [most often] wants to give the other good sensations like pleasure or relief from problems. This does effect the social aspects of sexuality, because it is a social act. The desire to recieve or give pleasure to someone that your instincts say are good for you, or the desire to relieve your own thirst/their thirst/problens – in some way – is also part of the picture.
At the root most of our system is very simple when it comes to things like these, but then humans have a wide WIDE variety of ways in which they deal with these few feelings.
“Nature”?.. Why have so many people tried to humanize “nature”?
Medicine from the doctor is against nature, and it’s natural for sick animals to die if they can’t handle it on their own.
On the other hand, this “nature” – gave us enough intelligence to predict or prevent pregnancy.
I believe that there is no “nature” – there is only what we have, and how we deside to use it.
Experienced? I’d rather say “those who have a deeper or wider understanding”.
IMM, there is not much to talk about here, really, it’s so simple. We like things and want them for our basic reasons: game-theory, reproduction or self-preservation.
mrn, you where asking about which was “proper” – and the “purpose”.
First of all, it’s all “proper”. Even “homo/bisexuality” is “proper” because of our will to gain a close partner/“true-love”/pleasure/relief etc. but then there is the method in which we act upon what we naturally have. Really, whatever is “proper” will work in the long-run; everybody has their own way of doing things and living, and if it [basically] works for them then they will mostlikely stick with it.
“lust”
Natural logic? “Where should I stick the dick? My species has needs you know.”
Lust, IMO is just strong attraction – and depends on your instinct/personality.
“romantic attraction”
This is probably the social end of it all. The phsycological, friendship sort of side. This has to do with teamwork, gaining allies, keeping allies, etc.
Natural logic? “Please help me. Can I help you with that? I love you…”
“a rational desire to procreate”
That has to do with moternal/faternal isntict perhaps? The will to take care of something small, warm, soft, cute, etc.
Natural logic? “Feed, protect and take good care of this one.”
Lust = Commit sexual act please.
Romance = Be my dear friend please.
desire-to-procreate = Lets look after these kids.

Farther note:
It’s my guess that the initial [sexual] act is of high importance for the process to complete, but the initial act only takes a few minutes [or hours, depends]; maybe that’s why it’s so strong for some people, because of how easy of a part of the process it is [compared to years of looking after the kid, which requires a different kind of instinct].
Yes, all of the feelings are “proper” and “natural”. They have a general direction, and you get to choose in which ways you try to deal with those feelings/concepts.
Goodday, mrn.
