noun
physical feeling; bodily sensation
A more general term for a tangible, bodily sensation, not necessarily sexual. Less common than sense 1.
彫刻の肉感がリアルで、触りたくなる。

Compound of 肉 (flesh) and 感 (feeling, sensation). The reading にっかん results from a common sound change where く becomes っ before a kana beginning with a k- sound.
