sensualism

To be sensual or sensuous is to be in the presence of your own soul. Wordsworth, careful of the dignity of the senses, wrote that, ‘pleasure is the tribute we owe to our dignity as human beings.’ This is a profoundly spiritual perspective. Your senses link you intimately with the divine within and around you.

Sensuality is about giving pleasure to the body or mind through the senses. The key word here is pleasure. Sensuality includes all five of the senses: hearing, seeing, smelling, tasting, and touching. It also includes the sixth sense, which is any use of conceptual thought to enhance pleasure.
