Poll: Which of the 5 Senses would you lose?

[TastySurvivor]

smell. I cant think of anything life altering that would come of me not having smell.

 

[ultrachicken]

Smell, because then I am immune to foul smelling odors.

 

[Yoshemo]

Taste. Most of what we "taste" is smell anyway so I wouldn't miss too much

 

[phohouse]

Taste is the one I would drop. I could force myself to eat things I hate, which are usually healthy and good for me.

 

[Deef]

It was a tough one between touch and taste, but then I realized that losing touch gives you one of the most dangerous symptoms of leprosy.

 

[Captain Epic]

I would definately have to go with taste. Yes it would suck to not be able to taste really good foods but I can think of benefits from not having a sense of taste. For example there would be no reason for me to eat fattening foods since the only reason people eat food like that is because it tastes good. That would also mean there would be no reason to over eat as well. I would eat more foods that are healthier for me because then I wouldn't have to taste how crappy it is.

I'd say smell cause I usually don't even notice scents unless it's like a flower or something. This is a very good point though.

 

[Paulie92]

Smell because it's something I almost never conciously use

 

[JourneyThroughHell]

Smell, of course, seeing how I have issues with my nose, not that big of a loss.

 

[Doc Funky]

I guess I'd have to go with taste.

I love food and everything...but sight, hearing, and touch are too important to lose, and as others have said, smell would allow you to still enjoy food to some degree. Plus, if everything tasted like nothing, there'd be no excuse not to eat cheap, healthy foods as opposed to expensive, delicious, fattening junk. Carrots versus Doritos would never be a hard choice to make, in other words.

 

[LimitedSkills]

I would give up taste. I would miss my sight and hearing too much. I would like to keep my ability to smell if my house is on fire. Without touch, I wouldn't be able to enjoy petting zoos.

Without taste, I could eat all kinds of stuff that I currently don't like. (carrots)

Guys, if you lose your sense of touch, no sex ever. None that you'll enjoy, anyway.

 

[Eri]

Pretending that smell is not related to taste, I'd lose smell.

 

[AgDr_ODST]

I could more easily part with my sense of smell than the others

 

[Gunsang]

Considering that a very large part of taste is smell, I would lose taste. At least I'd still get to smell the food and I'd still have my sense of smell.

 

[Redwall]

Has anyone said speech yet because I could deal with losing that.

 

[Amphoteric]

Piss easy decision to lose smell. Also there is more than 5 senses. What about Pain/Hunger/Thirst/Balence.

 

[Kiju]

Smell...can't get rid of sight, I like games too much. Can't get rid of hearing, like music too much. Can't get rid of touch 'cause of...er...adult reasons. And I don't want to get rid of taste. I'd be like...a deaf composer (Beethoven excluded) since I want to learn how to cook professionally for a living.

Also if you put your hand on something boiling your hand will just melt.

In order...

Touch, touch, touch, and...touch.

You feel each, and Balance is obtained by the fact you can feel your legs moving and your limbs complimenting them to keep you upright.
