Even though beauty is a subjective thing, we all recognize it when we see it, as a result of our individual tastes. But sensuality is another thing altogether. It can be an elusive element, sadly absent from our daily lives. Why is this the case? For one, some confuse sexuality with it. Sexuality is a function of nature; an instinct that drives us to succeed in perpetuating our species. Sensuality however, is a deliberately cultivated behavior. It requires thought, rather than instinct alone, such as in romantic gestures (versus simply being hit on, which is a sexual overture).
Another reason why sensuality may be absent, is because we're too busy and fail to view it as a necessary component in our lives. Or perhaps we never even took the time to define it for ourselves. But without knowing what it is that we find to be sensual, we allow this part of our nature to remain dormant. The important thing to remember is that sensuality, at its core, is created by a sense of longing, and being in touch with that can truly ignite a passion for living.
