Both sensuous and sensual have to do with the senses, of course. Sensual is erotic (as in tango). Sensuous leaves out heat factor. Sensuous leaves out the hot part, and it can be synonymous with epicurean (as in the food at TFB.) If asked, I'll be happy to make other distinctions that when not observed are quite annoying to old poops like me. Those would include disinterested v uninterested. RIP, Mr. Pratt Paul Willcott.
