Usage Note
Sensuale describes what appeals to or arouses the senses, particularly touch, sight, and desire. It is a single-form adjective — the masculine and feminine are identical: un movimento sensuale, una voce sensuale. It is a false cognate trap for English speakers: it does not mean merely 'sensitive' (that is sensibile) but carries a clearly erotic or physically pleasing nuance.
Examples
"Ha un modo di muoversi molto sensuale."
Natural Translation
She has a very sensual way of moving.
