Sensuality starts from the mind Vexing. And if you are able to provide relief to that mental vexation, you will feel pleasure.

That is not true happiness but merely relief from mental burning. So enjoying something means that you were craving for it(mental vexation) and now you have got it. That relief is felt as”enjoying”. You have to suffer initially to “enjoy” such things by generating wanting( vexation). True happiness is the state when one doesn’t burn from the mind. So he won’t get affected by such sense objects because the mind is neither wanting nor having aversion .

To enter jhana one needs a “stable” mind, that doesn’t wander around. If you enjoy sensuality then the mind is not at rest and can’t be concentrated.
