What's the difference between sexy and sensual?

[SammyBammy]

When a guy says you're both sexy AND sensual, what does he mean? What's the difference between those two words?

Being sensual is knowing how to stimulate the senses and being able to be aroused through your senses. It doesn't have to be sexual. Having your breath taken away by a delicious meal is a sensual experience. Walking through a candle shop and being overwhelmed by the scents is a sensual experience.

Now imagine your partner slowly caressing your skin with an ice cube or sharing a strawberry by kissing you. Think of a partner who prepares a good meal for when you are back from work with low lights and scented candles and who massage you while waiting for the meal to finish cooking. Someone who will excite your senses in a sexy way. That's someone who is sexy AND sensual...

Sexy is how he responds to you. Sensual is how you respond to the world through your senses. Of course he would respond to that to but in a different way. People can be one without the other.

I have no clue. I thought they were the same cracker!

Sex is fast and hard. Sensual is loving and seductive.

Sexy is physical. Sensual is how you express yourself. Maybe you hug a lot for example.

[jakeofalltrades]

i guess sensual is attractive without really trying to be.

It means he wants to fuck you...

[SammyBammy]

Hahaha, yeah, that's what I thought. I think it may be true...
