It seems to me, nobody defines sexual attraction the same way. It's a bit of a vague abstraction as a result.

Concur. Leaving the paraphilias out of it, it is a subjective desire to have genital contact with another person. Physiological arousal usually is coincident.

anyone can have sex, but not everyone can experience attraction

It is possible to have sex with a person for an extrinsic reason, such as money, without an intrinsic compulsion to have sex with the person, for example; prostitution.
