Some of my best friends actually are, and, eww

I'm been working on Valentine's Day promos at work, and have repeatedly grossed myself out writing phrases like, "Surprise your guy this Valentine's Day with these sweet and sensual treats" and "Play nice -- and naughty" to convince dissatisfied housewives to buy massage oil. In the midst of shuddering over the mere mention of the word "sensual", I remembered my favorite essay ever, Lisa Carver's "Some of my Best Friends are Sensualists". I'm pretty sure she wrote this just for me.
