If you had to give up a sense, which would you choose?

I can't believe people are choosing touch. I mean, could you orgasm without sensation? Or is it that sex isn't that big of a deal? I'd choose taste, it seems the least practical out of all of the senses to me, if I had to choose one.

EDIT: spelling

I think I would have to go with the sense of smell. However, that choice is based on a four year cycle. Yes it's election time again and things are sure beginning to stink!

Hearing, hands down. I'm a very visual person, and while I like music, it's the only one I could see to part with, as I'ma fairly quiet girlie girl anyways.

Definitely my hearing too, I could do without hearing people voices, and since I will still be able to see, I can just read their lips....and feel the music....ever stood infront of a speaker???

That's a tough one.

I think it would have to be smell or taste. I love eating, so it would have to be smell.

I knew someone who could not smell (brain damage) he said everything now tastes like cardboard simply because of losing his smells.

DC~~do you sit up nights thinking of these things

I would have to give up the sense of taste. It would be weird not to taste things; but I 'd rather see, hear, smell and DEFINITELY touch. (Whoever said touch: you'd be giving up sex, ya know??????)

I actually know someone who kinda lost their sense of taste. Guys, it will not keep you from eating. It won't be as easy as you think, not to be able to know when something is too salty or spicy until it's too late.

Taste even though a good stake wouldnt be as good, smelling it gives a lot of it flavor you know. Taste and smell are almost the same to me, arent smokers almost guaranteed the loss of both?

Id get rid of the snese of feeling...cuz then i wouldnt be able to feel pain and that stuff...itd be cool
