Sensuality and sexuality. Hand in hand, or different?

Hello zoners:

I have a knack for being far too curious for my own good. What is the difference between sexuality and sensuality? What do you look for in terms of both? What do you look for in a partner and how can they best demonstrate their sensuality and sexuality?

I'd love to know your thoughts!

Hugs,
Meka

I like a guy who has a low voice, deep is preferrable, and tall is by no means a fault. I love being wrapped in arms that are so tall they just cocoon me. Anyway it's all how they act, if they're not a jerk, they just want ot treat you right. They have to feel honest enough to ask questions, but not stupid enough to ask ones they know they wouldn't know for themselves. Mostly it's a voice is sexy to me, but sensually it's more how they touch me, not in a sexual nature but just a hand on the shoulder, you can feel it.

Sensuality and sexuality can be related but don't have to be. There are some things that are very sensual that have nothing to do with sex.

I'd say that sensuality is the feeling of being aroused excited sexy and alive. Sexuality is not so easily defined, if your asking on the basis of preference,it's just as difficult smile. Hmmm beautiful moving music, cool air, preferably in or around water,and a willingness to understand why I'm moved to tears by the power of it all.

Sexuality to me is shallow and sensuality is deep. A bathing suit model or a lifeguard on the beach with six pack abs are stereotypically sexual, but when someone is sensual, they are beautiful on the inside and they take heart and interest in their pleasure for pleasure's sake. Sexuality is "I wanna boink ya baby!" and sensuality is "I love you, let's spend some private time together surrounded by flickering candlelight and taking things slowly."

Well I guess I would have to agree with the last poster that if I have ever been sexual with any one and in this case I can not say much of anything on this one.

Hi, I had to comment on this one. Sensuality is when you open your heart and soul up to your partner. Example, sitting on a couch holding eachother, kissing, and just enjoying eachother's company.
