The five basic human senses are Touch, Taste, Sight, Smell and Sound. If you were left with only three of those senses (and given a choice) which ones would you choose to keep? I would keep touch, sight, and sound personally. Let me know if I left any combo's out!

I would miss taste and smell least. I would probably lose a lot of weight though since nothing would appeal to me anymore. I'd just eat tofu all day.

taste, sight, sound....that would suck not being able to taste anything....but smell is tied to taste VERY much..

Then you couldn't feel sex........I don't know about you, but I'm not giving that up.

I'm going with taste


Yea, that was sorta my line of thinking too... gotta have touch, very important to me. Plus, if you can't see or hear anything then you will have a hard time enjoying basic entertainment, and trying to function in society

The sense of smell is almost vestigial in humans. Most of the time the things I smell are awful smelling. Sure it would put a damper on enjoying eating...but I'd rather be able to see, hear and hump.

You can, you would just taste less. Since you tend to taste things based on how they smell.

If you lose smell, you could only taste sweet, salty, sour, and bitter.

Your nose detects all the other flavors.

take away sight, you cant see how beautiful your woman is.
take away touch, you can't feel her soft body.
take away smell, you can't be turned on by the perfume she wears,
take away taste, those sessions with whipped cream and chocolate wont be as sweet.

take away sound though, you've just saved yourself a lifetime of whining and nagging.

i vote sound :)

not the documentary itself, but the actual loss of touch. i remember the one older woman they were showing; she had to literally watch everything she was doing...reaching for something, pouring, moving stuff, cleaning herself. fascinating in general.

Yep, sound would be very easy to give up. All that peace and quiet. I almost wish I was deaf already. :p
