Feeling thrilled with sex embracing blokes (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sentiment

'feeling' is the definition.
(a sentiment is a feeling or view)

'thrilled with sex embracing blokes' is the wordplay.
'thrilled' becomes 'sent' (send can mean to thrill or excite).
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'sex' becomes 'it' (common euphemism).
'embracing' is an insertion indicator.
'blokes' becomes 'men' (bloke can informally mean a man).
'it' placed around 'men' is 'iment'.
'sent'+'iment'='SENTIMENT'

(Other definitions for sentiment that I've seen before include "Slush" , "Emotion, self-indulgent or insincere perhaps" , "Emotional thought" , "Mawkishness" , "judgement" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
