'physically gratifying' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'little money you owe us sounds' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'money' could be 'sen' (I've seen this before) and 'sen' is found within the answer.
'you' could be 'u' (commonly used in online communication) and 'u' is present in the answer.
'us' is within the answer.
The remaining letters 'so' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
