is romance sexual, emotional or both?

Looked up the definition of romantic on the internet. Wanted a non-credible source for some creative insight...

"Romantic love is a form of love that is often regarded as different from mere needs driven by sexual desire, or lust. Romantic love generally involves a mix of emotional and sexual desire, as opposed to Platonic love. There is often, initially, more emphasis on the emotions than on physical pleasure." - RAJ

Raj's definition includes both an emotional and a sexual aspect to romance. If the desire is merely sexual and devoid of emotion can it be romantic? What about if it was void of a sexual connotation? I am not sure...I wonder if I can create a thought experiment to get people's thoughts...
