If you could give up one bodily function what would it be?

[SD-Fiend]

gaining more weight than i need to have at the time

 

[stinkyrobot]

Would have to go with aging.. anymore I don't want to reverse until I'm a sperm again lol

 

[ThePurpleStuff]

I can cheat and say ALL of the annoying ones that cause nothing but suffering, (periods are a good one, I don't want kids so stop making me miserable you pesky uterus!) But in all seriousness I'd love to live without the need to sleep, there's lots of things I want to do and sleep makes it difficult.

 

[SinorKirby]

Living.

Being undead would be AWESOME. Although, it would probably just kill me. BUT WHO CARES ZOMBIE TIME YEAH!!!

 

[Master Kuja]

Sleep, so long as I don't suffer the effects that come with no sleep. IE: Exhaustion, insanity, hallucinations and eventually death.

 

[newfoundsky]

I would much prefer to have greater control of my bodily functions. That way I'd never finish first and she'll feel awful.

 

[blankedboy]

Excretion, because then I can last forever. :>
No sleep would suck because no dreams.

 

[LarenzoAOG]

Hiccups can go f*** themselves!

You sir are correct!

I don't know what fucking purpose hiccups serve, but the only thing they do is make me angry as all hell.

 

[mysecondlife]

nosebleed. I nosebleed easily.. especially in this dry weather...

I often wake up and find drops of blood on my pillow.

 

[Cazza]

I would say sleeping. The time saved by being awake 24/7 compared to shaving or toilet breaks. Though I could save money by not eating. I could make more money because I don't get tired.

Menstruating. I can't believe no one's brought that up yet! I would definitely do without it (and all its other things - cramps, bloating, etc.) if I could.

ETA: No, wait, I guess I'm not TOO shocked no one's said this yet. Know your audience and all that.

Yeah, I'd have to agree with you on this. Not the funnest time to have.
Otherwise, I think I'd go with pooping. It's just generally not a nice thing, and while yes, there is some relief after an extended session, it's more trouble than it's worth.

I'll be voting for menstruation too. It just sucks that in addition to leaking blood, you get all the other little miseries to go with it =S And I know you can technically skip your period every time if you're on the pill, but it'd be nice just to do away with it altogether.

I'd agree that it'd also be nice to give up all the unpleasant sides of childbirth as well, but at least you get something for all your efforts! What do you get from your period? Nothing, that's what... =P

There is always daydreaming. With the extra spare time you could easily daydream for extended periods of time

 

[Sacman]

Breathing.. there's so much you can accomplish without breathing...

 

[Naqel]

I'd totally give up my sense of shame.

Think of all the chicks a guy could pick up with cheesy lines if his brain didn't rebel against just how cheesy they are.
Not to mention I could throw away all the garbage I amassed over my short life, and finally start using VoIP services.

 

[Secret world leader (shhh)]

Peeing. Pooping has the potential to be weirdly fun/satisfying from time to time, peeing does not. It's just annoying and takes valuable time and concentration.

 

[Asti]

Menstruation. Period.

He he, I see what you did there.

I think I'd go for that, too. The most unnecessary function a living being ever ended up with.

 

[Vicarious Reality]

Sleep for gods sake

 

[Lem0nade Inlay]

Sleeping...assuming I didn't get tired or exhausted or die from lack of sleep...so much extra time! No drawbacks to having to get ready for work/school early!

My first instinct was to get rid of going to the bathroom, then I had an epiphany. I have celiac, which means that whenever I eat anything with gluten (all grains except corn and rice) my body attacks my villi in my small intestine as I try to digest the gluten. If I got rid of digesting food, I would never have to go to the bathroom again, I would never have the celiac symptoms again, and I could eat whatever I wanted, in whatever quantities I wanted.

That would be awesome.
