Which sense would you give up?

probably taste or smell. most likely taste so i would gain weight!

 

*wouldnt

 

would have to go with taste or smell...probably smell.

 

Taste.... It might actually save you money too because you can survive on pork and bean type of products..

Who gives a crap about taste if you had to choose out of the 5..

 

If you lost your hearing from the beginning, then it won't suck not able to hear voices or music. I've learned to deal with it and I don't pity myself. I much rather to lose my hearing than sight. How am I supposed to drool at hot men if I can't see?

 

Aren't there like implants now that can help restore hearing?

Yes, but you have to learn to distinguish sounds and all that stuff which is extremely hard especially if the person is older instead of a baby/child.

 

I think in this order
1. Smell
2. Taste
3. Touch
4. Hearing
5. Sight

sometimes I think touch maybe able to move up on the list
cause lack of touch means lack of being able to feel pain.

also means a lack to feel pleasure

 

But not being able to feel pain can get you killed, easily.

 

Having learned to sign, losing my hearing would be the easier to deal with, not that it would be easy in any way.

On another note, it seems that today many have already given up sense altogether. A brave new world.

 

If you cant hear....you can still do everything you could do before....aside from listening to music...and things that involve hearing...

If you cant see.....you can just sit your ass on the couch the rest of your life listening to people tell you your blind.

 

eye sight or libido

 

I'd probably have to go with sight. That has to be the hardest to manage on a daily basis.

Lady_Di - Do you sign or read lips or both?

 

i don't think it's really a fair comparison. Losing sight is very severe. I think the better comparison is:

Losing sight or
Being Quadriplegic

Which one?

 

I see "common" isn't an option, guess a lot of people don't have that start with anways......

 

I do both, Harrisment. Why would you give up sight?

 

You aren't a hot tennis lineswoman, are you? :grin:

 

EDIT: ^ Dang it, man...

Your mouth drools, not your eyes.

"Let's get the check. (Waves in the air) Is this considered signing? Do you do this when you want the check? Really. I know a sign, that's my first sign."
