If you had to give up one of your five senses, which one would it be?

[ohiosmith]

hearing

[KitchenWitch]

1. Smell

I have year round allergies, so it is not like I would really miss it.

[MissMillie]

8. I think that would be my choice too

but I wonder, would losing smell affect the sense of taste?

[philosophie_en_rose]

10. I agree.

Taste would be second.

[sniffa]

2. another one?

or can i pick the one i Lost?

[ohiosmith]

3. your choice

[terrya]

4. Taste

I couldn't live without sight or hearing

[Fire Walk With Me]

5. Thought, as the mind is not the seat of consciousness.

[grace0418]

6. Smell for sure. I'm a visual artist, a graphic designer and a music lover.

So sight, touch and hearing would be REALLY hard senses for me to lose.

[Phillycat]

7. Taste or smell.

Although they are linked.

[Dangerously Amused]

9. Common.

Oh wait, too late.

[Crabby Appleton]

17. Me too, take my common sense, I hardly ever use it . nt

[Rabrrrrrr]

11. My sense of morality

[ohiosmith]

24. No fair. You can't give up something that you don't have.

[auntAgonist]

12. smell for me too .. nt

[LostinVA]

13. Smell

[Little Wing]

14. Taste

[Nicole]

15. Taste n/t

[Treclo]

16. I don't have a sense of smell.

Never have. Having known nothing else, I don't believe my sense of taste is affected, but I have no reference point. Some things I just don't GET when cooking; the smell of herbs and spices, for example. But I think my sense of taste is just fine.

I have horrible vision, and at 40 my hearing isn't what it used to be. (To many loud punk shows in my 20's). Yep, I'm falling apart! But if I had to lose something ELSE- shit, I'm already running on a low tank anyway!

[Burma Jones]

18. smell

and taste, I could stand to lose a few pounds

[BlueIris]

19. I could probably live without taste at this point.

But without hearing, sight or touch I would be scroo-ooed.

[Zavulon]

20. Taste.

That way, I could eat healthy stuff that would repulse me otherwise.

[Auggie]

21. Taste

[Lowell]

22. I lost my hearing years ago

Now that I'm used to it I don't think I would exchange another to have it back.

[blockhead]

23. sense of humor

:)

[zonkers]

25. ESP

[Conan_The_Barbarian]

26. If you give up smell

your also pretty much losing taste so keep that in mind. So with that in mind I'd ditch taste, hell that would probauly improve my life. Steam Brocolli, and chicken breasts vs icecream or cheeseburger wouldn't be an issue anymore, I'd just be eating what was healthiest since I'd be incapable of preference.

[bigwillq]

27. Smell

If I had to choose

[u4ic]

28. Smell

even though that would affect my taste, as well.

[Lyric]

29. Taste. Imagine how easy dieting would be!

No temptation to eat chocolate and donuts and fried chicken, since I couldn't taste it anyway. Why not just eat the salad? :)

[Deja Q]

30. The sexy one

:rofl:

[Q3JR4]

31. Probably Smell,

since I don't really have one now. If I had to choose another it would have to be sight.

[Parche]

32. THIS ONE

[Xipe Totec]

33. Timing
