Oh wow, that's both a great question and a tough one.

To my mind, it's when you're near someone, there's no suggestion that you're in or contemplating a relationship, but you both feel a strong attraction that you're reluctant to acknowledge or discuss. You know you want to kiss them, you're pretty sure they want to kiss you, but ...

I would say sexual tension is when you're with/around someone and you can feel the chemistry between you, and it's making things awkward.

Yes, that is part of it. However, tension is not such a good thing when it is not released. If it is not released (acted upon) the tension grows until one of the people reaches a breaking point and either decides to remove his/herself from the situation or verbalize what they want.

Have you ever really liked someone and they liked you, but maybe you were not able to act on the attraction for whatever reason. There probably was sexual tension due to being denied what you both wanted. This is what sexual tension is. It is good up to the point when you become resentful of not getting what you want.
