if you had to give up one of your 5 senses what would you go without?

Question

why?

Answer 1

commonsense

Answer 2

Probably my hearing because you can adapt through sign language, etc. if you can't hear. There's really no substitute for your sight, so I'd like to keep it. Your sense of smell and your sense of taste go hand in hand and I like food way too much to give up either of those! Without the sense of touch, you could easily burn yourself or otherwise hurt yourself very badly.

Answer 3

Strange you should ask this now.Three weeks ago I lost my sense of smell after I hit my head during a particularly bad spell of Menieries.I can no longer taste properly either ----in fact the only thing I recognise is chili ; as hot as you like. I should think they are the less debilitating senses to loose.Loss of sight would be devastating.Hearing loss is severly frustrating.The loss of the sense of touch makes my mind boggle!!

Answer 4

i havent got any sense
i dont make sense
i cant sense things
i havent got the sense i was born with

but if i did
i would say smell and smell =tasting also
so i would be giving up 2
compared to everyone elses 1
but thats really cool
cos i aint got the sense to know anything

Answer 5

Like a lot of others I would say smell to be fair as someone already pointed out the air we breath is not exactly the best smelling is it ?

Answer 6

Probably smell if I had too, although I would miss a lot of smells! I couldnt be without sight,touch,sound or touch, so smell would have to be give up :(

Answer 7

Touch - I like food too much not to be able to taste it, and you need taste and smell for that, plus I like looking at things, and listening to music, people talking etc.
And, if you had no sense of touch, you'd feel far less pain.

Answer 8

Hmmm

Have to keep Sight and hearing.

If you have no sence of smell then your sence of taste will not work correctly

need touch or you can hurt yourself badly and not know

So I would have to go with taste.... Although no more cakes etc. Suppose I would loose weight then. Only eat to survive there would be no enjoyment of food.

Answer 9

Smell. It's not that important, compared to the others.
I would say touch, but you could brake a bone and not realise it or burn yourself without knowing and be left with a scar because of it.

Answer 10

Sense of touch.

Answer 11

Touch
