sexually pleasing to the senses
Making someone feel sexual pleasure through touch, sight, sound, smell, or taste.
รูปแบบการใช้:
a sensual [touch/kiss/voice/dance]

sexy (More informal and direct; often stronger and more obviously sexual.)
|
erotic (Focuses very clearly on sexual desire and arousal, often more explicit than "sensual.")

liking physical, especially sexual, pleasure
Describing someone who really likes physical and often sexual pleasure, such as touch, food, or comfort.

pleasing to the bodily senses
Giving strong pleasure to the body through the senses, for example through taste, touch, or smell, and not always sexual.
รูปแบบการใช้:
a sensual [experience/food/sound/touch]
ข้อผิดพลาดที่พบบ่อย:
Learners sometimes think this sense is always sexual, but it can describe non-sexual pleasure, such as food, music, or a hot bath. For neutral descriptions of the senses without pleasure, "sensory" is usually a better word.
คำพ้องความหมาย
sensory (More technical or neutral; describes anything related to the senses, without implying pleasure or luxury.)
|
luxurious (Focuses on richness and comfort rather than direct bodily sensation, but often overlaps in advertising language.)
คำตรงข้าม
intellectual (Focuses on the mind and thinking rather than on bodily sensation and pleasure.)
|
spiritual (Focuses on the soul or higher values instead of physical, sense-based pleasure.)
