Angel, you’re right. That one IS easier to adjust to not having. Laina, my feelings exactly, even if we had to deal with a few stinky farts. Personally, I’m Italian. So, taste IS pretty much ALL Italian, and even if I were to still eat food - I could never enjoy the unique flavors..

I don’t think so either.
I’d go crazy if someone was holding/hugging/kissing me and I couldn’t feel it. That one is second most important to me. :)

Isn’t there some sort of thing where a person can’t feel pain. Like it’s a proper diesease type thingy….I forget the name of it though….I think it’s quite dangerous to have though.

Yes, there is, I think it’s like CIPA, something like that, Chronic Insensitivity to Pain… something.

haha I’m glad to see people thinking about relationships. What IF we couldn’t see our significant other, smell their unique smell.. taste their lips against your own, feel the warmth or actually feel the hands we hold onto .. ? And most importantly, hear them whisper sweet nothings into our ears? Which allows me to realize.. body language is not to be heard, but to be seen .. or then again, not to be heard nor seen, but felt… and language of its own, has caused the clash between civilizations .. so hear, would definitely be one to achieve more peace in life..I must agree with. =]

I think people would be more cautious and aware of life if we had lost the ability to hear. Maybe, understand other cultures better, realizing that racism is more by what we hear, rather than what we see.. ?

I don’t know. I just cant. Could have been the nose bleeds as a child, or something wrong with my mouth. Most things taste the same to me, and it is more their texture and temperature that tell me what they taste like.

smell…I don’t mind if I can’t smell perfume. There are only few scents that smell good by nature. I don’t really need the sense of smell to do my work and live my life. It’s like having colds everyday… You couldn’t smell the bad things nor the good things but it doesn’t really make a grave impact.

The sense of Sight, Smell, Taste, Hearing, Touch.

First, the senses have been provided for OUR SURVIVAL. As an additional bonus, it helps with differentiating between pleasure and pain - warning and delighting us at the same time. In the worst case scenario and given the choice, I would give up the sense of smell because I am aware of what its like and can imagine that when I see a flower or raw earth in the rain….Its gonna be tough, but there are some people living without essential senses like Sight, Hearing or Touch…I am of the personal opinion that losing the sense of smell is not as bad as that.
