Sensual
Holman Bible Dictionary
Activities or appearances characterized by or motivated by physical lust or luxury. God condemned Babylon for their sensual desires for pleasure and luxury (Isaiah 47:8 ). It is part of the evil of the human heart (Mark 7:22; compare Romans 13:13 ), calling for repentance (2 Corinthians 12:21 ). See Lasciviousness; Sex, Biblical Teaching On; Wantonness.
