fleshliness
Physical, sensual quality
Fleshliness is the quality of being fleshly—pertaining to the body and its appetites rather than the spirit.
The word carries religious or moral overtones, suggesting excessive concern with physical pleasures: The preacher warned against fleshliness and worldly temptation.
It implies carnality, sensuality, or attachment to bodily desires over higher pursuits.
