Etymology
The word sensualize comes from the root sens- meaning 'sense' or 'feeling' and the ending -ize meaning 'to make'. So to sensualize something here is to make it about physical or sexual pleasure, which is why critics say it can make art or ideas seem less moral or serious when the focus is on the body.
