People talk about sensual as if it just pertains to sex but break down the word and it's simply "of the senses." The five senses: sight, smell, touch, taste and hearing. I argue that being sensual is just having a heightened or more in touch awareness of one's senses and yes, why not?! That is the only way we know, or are given to interact with our environment so why not experience it fully? There is all this talk about living moderately and I agree to a certain extent but what is life if not to experience it extremely? Why not experience something fully? Taste the flavours of the world? Smell the flowers or the odor of another human being. Touch something soft or feel touched, there is nothing wrong with that. Experience a sense and try to associate it with another, it will act as an exercise for your memory and for your sensuality, what smell can you associate with a touch or a taste? In fact, smell and taste are closely linked. If you smell something before or while you eat it, it will be more impactful.
Sensual is a rarely used word in our vocabulary. And when used it is associated with seduction or poetry. No. Live sensually and live passionately and you will live a more fruitful, enjoyable life.
