Having an obsession with someone is not the same thing as being sexually or romantically attracted to them. They are different things.

Yes, although you can have both at the same time. I have an obsession with a man I'm also sexually attracted to. But I have had obsessions with people I weren't sexually attracted to, and have been sexually attracted to people but not obsessed.
