voluptuousness
Abundant physical allure
Voluptuousness is the quality of being sensually pleasing or luxuriously gratifying.
It describes full, curvaceous physical beauty—the voluptuousness of a Rubens nude—or rich sensory pleasure more broadly: the voluptuousness of silk against skin, the voluptuousness of a summer evening.
The word carries undertones of indulgence and bodily delight.
