Study arousing the body by mutual agreement (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

consensual

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'the body by mutual agreement' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'study arousing' is the wordplay.
'study' becomes 'con' (con can informally mean to study).
'arousing' becomes 'sensual' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'con'+'sensual'='CONSENSUAL'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for consensual that I've seen before include "No such decision imposed" , "Involving free agreement" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
