It's the inside jokes, the normal day-to-day touching of shoulders, the hugs, the glances, which would otherwise be friends yet continually have a sexual hue to them. It's forbidden, and both sides know it would never work out, but both sides want it.

I agree, but I would add when you are dating someone and the social situation makes it impossible for anything to happen. In other words, sexual tension is when you want it, you know the other person wants it, but it can't happen.
For example: tagging along to a family reunion when they put the SO in a different room, with her sisters, and someone is always around preventing any escapades.
In any case, it is something that you have to experience to know it. If you have to ask if something is sexual tension, it certainly isn't.
