"Sexualities live in all aspects of our bodies: in our taste buds, nostrils, eyes, and ears as well as on our skin. The body is a way to experience, and those experiences can be erotic and sensual. In fact, the word sensual contains the knowledge of the ways the Erotic connects to us through our senses. We can come to know beauty and understand euphoria sensorially."

-from An Introduction to Sex(ualities)
