In the summer I find many different things can be sensual, and more sensual in summer than at any other time of the year. Again, not necessarily in a sexual way, although that is always an option. I have been known to find the sexual in almost anything. lol
Swinging on a swing can be sensual. The wind blowing through my hair, drowning out other sound. if the swing is high enough, the breeze causing my blouse or skirt to wrap and slap around me.
Cool showers after being out in the hot sun. The way the heat of my skin warms the cool water as it first hits and cascades down my body is very sensual.

Eating summer fruits such as strawberries, melons, mango,and peaches can be sensual. Especially when I can leave the care of sticky face and hands and arms behind, letting the juices trickle down where they may. That is what those showers are for after all.
Walking barefoot on the breast of the Mother Earth. Whether I walk on cool green grass, rich brown earth, hot sand or stone, the heartbeat of the Mother can be felt through my feet.
Sensuality is everywhere.
The smells of summer; fresh herbs like basil, mint and lavender. Flowers such as rose, honeysuckle, and jasmine. Foods being cooked over an open fire. The rich earthy scent of a bonfire. The sweet sweat of my lover in the heat of a summer night. My daughter's hair after she's been sitting in the sun and fresh from the bath. The soft scent of clover when I lie in a carpet of it.
The sounds of summer; birdsong, from early morn til the late evening; cicadas all along the roadsides; the peep and croak of frogs on a summer night; the hum of a hummingbird's wings as it sips from feeder on the porch; the buzz of the honeybee nuzzling into the flowers in the garden; The laughter of children playing in the sprinkler. The noisy lapping of water by my dog after coming in from the heat. The soft slopping of the water against the side of the canoe, the slush of the paddle gliding through the water.
In all of these I find sensuality. What do you find sensual?

Whew! Wow, yeah.
The way my husband looks at me when he first wakes up in the morning. The way Piggy wraps up against me when she goes to sleep. The feel of a cool shower on summer hot skin. The smell of me when I'm fresh out of the shower. The smell of my husband after he shaves his head. The smell of fresh cut grass. The way the rain spatters and sputters on my skin while I dance. The way a circle skirt brushes against my legs. The moon risen full in the sky on a silent night. The way the world sounds when everything is asleep but me. The way it feels when I'm around people I love. The sound of my husband coming home to me. The steady breathing of a sleeping child. Orange juice and crunchy grapenuts cereal. The way my body feels when I've completed a long day's tasks. A kiss on the back of my neck, forehead, uh...just about anywhere actually. Hugs. Soft material fresh out of the dryer on a chilly day. I guess a lot of things give me the warm fuzzies.
