According to the research published in the Archives of Sexual Behaviour, this new form of sexual attraction has been described as an "attraction to the energy, multidimensionality and power shared between people in relationships"

In simpler words, this means a person identifying with this feeling connects to the energy shared between a pre-existing couple

This type of sexuality can be found in diverse age groups, racial groups, socio-economic classes, and gender identities

The study explained that a person who identifies as a symbiosexual finds the synergy of the partnership appealing and they want to be a part of this dynamic

They are in "love" with the love between the two people in the relationship and want to immerse themselves in that love

The study author explained how it's a genuine desire towards the "whole" of the relationship
The unique attraction can be described as "greater than the sum of its parts"

Symbiosexuals are often stigmatised in both monogamous and non-monogamous communities
