sensualist
Devoted to indulgence
A sensualist is someone devoted to the pleasures of the senses—food, drink, sex, comfort, beauty.
The term suggests indulgence without necessarily implying moral failure, though it can carry overtones of excess: He was an unrepentant sensualist who spent freely on wine and travel.
A sensualist prioritizes physical experience over abstraction or asceticism.
