It depends upon which religion you are. I don't think God has a problem with sensual - but I think some religions do.
Peace!

I don't understand "at the same time" - so I'll say no.
But as in life:
Yes.
Be extremly sensual with your spouse only. Be religious with your spouse, family and community.

Most of the religious women I know are not sensuous in public. They have a more refined appearance in public. I guess I would say they were like Princess Diana, as compared to Madonna.We represent Christ to the world and act accordingly.

Towards your Husband yes, sex is something God gave us in order to reproduce, so, only to your husband if you are not married then, no. You can't be sensual and religious at the same time.

It all depends upon what you mean by sensual and what religion you are referring to. If you mean sensual in a sexual context then a Christian couple can certainly be extremely sensual in the privacy of their own bedrooms.
1 Corinthians 7:2 But because of the temptation to sexual immorality, each man should have his own wife and each woman her own husband. 3 The husband should give to his wife her conjugal rights, and likewise the wife to her husband. 4 For the wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband does. Likewise the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife does. 5 Do not deprive one another, except perhaps by agreement for a limited time, that you may devote yourselves to prayer; but then come together again, so that Satan may not tempt you because of your lack of self-control.
Hebrews 13:4 Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.
If you mean sensual in the sense that a person gives themself over to their physical desires without exercising self control and remaining in the bounds that God has set for us to satisfy our natural desires then you can't be extremely "Christian" and behave in such a manner.
1 Thessalonians 4:2 For you know what instructions we gave you through the Lord Jesus. 3 For this is the will of God, your sanctification: that you abstain from sexual immorality; 4 that each one of you know how to control his own body in holiness and honor, 5 not in the passion of lust like the Gentiles who do not know God;

sure, but good luck trying it. I have found that when a woman tries to be "sensual", she is often labled a sinful slut....not because this is the truth, but because other women will be jealous of her sensuality

No you can not. If you are being extremely sensual you are consentrating on the person you are be sensual to. If you are being extremely religious you are consentrating on God.

Absolutely. Being religious doesn't make you "good" or "holy". Only truth does. You can be a thief and be religious. Because religion is not the key. God is.

Yes you can. Our life is there for us to enjoy it. We are given a body to experience all facets of life and a soul to experience the divine by spiritual practices.
I reckon we as human beings are fortunate indeed.
