Lines from Angels in America that stay with me:

Smell is an incredibly complex and underappreciated physical phenomenon, inextricably bound up with sex. . . It is. The nose is really a sexual organ. You know what a smell is? It's made up of the molecules of what you're smelling. Some part of you where you meet the air is airborne. Smelling and tasting. First the nose, then the tongue. They work as a team see? The nose tells the body, the heart, the mind, the fingers, the cock what it wants and then the tongue explores . . .

Insofar as sensual desires are purely sensual then they all involve the same processes: pleasurable stimulation of the senses. But desires for food or sex and suchlike aren't purely sensual—they're tied in to complex arrays of thought and emotion, giving them all their own characters, stimulating us in different ways . . .
