Opposition to or rejection of sensual pleasures, desires, or experiences.
From 'anti-' (against) combined with 'sensuality' (from Latin 'sensualis', meaning relating to the senses). Often used in philosophical or religious contexts.
Historical religious movements often promoted antisensuality as a path to spiritual enlightenment, believing that rejecting physical pleasures would bring people closer to the divine—a stark contrast to modern culture's celebration of sensory experience.
