I think I could get by without Smell and Taste. Losing my hearing would be difficult, but I think I'd get by.
For me it's a toss up between Sight and Touch.
Thoughts ??

it has to be sight, without any doubt at all.
Id be astonished if anyone said anything different

I can't speak for others on here as I am blind, but I would hate to be deaf.
Masturbation could be interesting with no sense of touch
For me my hearing as I could still imagine what things looked like if I was blind, but couldn't stand not listening to music.
I wouldnt like it if somebody touched my bell end and i couldnt feel it .
without sight you wouldnt be able to bet in running.so its pretty important.
haven't read the other posts but my immediate answer would be the sense of hearing.
many deaf people feel extremely socially excluded as they can see others laughing and enjoying interesting conversations but without being able to join in.
i rememeber reading somewhere about suicide rates being higher in those who are deaf rather than blind .
Sight, one of my staff is losing his, only 31, if you really think about it , taste , and hearing you would surely trade for your sight.

That's coz the blind folks get lost on the way to the train station.

Hearing is a certainty. No music, no conversation is worse than no vision for me.
Sight .
If you lose your hearing, atleast you can lip read .

I think it has to be touch. If your talking total loss. I think this means you would not be able to walk or do much as your brain would have so much less to process for you to enable you. Sight is the next big one. Hearing less so as it is more suited to adapting. smell and taste would be a hinderence and anoyance but manageable.
i dont think touch is actually a qualifiyer... who loses their touch completely?
anyway. apart from touch, maybe even including it, i think sight would deffo be the worst for me.
my hearing is going anyway, and i absolutely dont give a fk... if my 20-2o eyes were anything less than perfect i would be mortified... let alone lose my sight.
myfather swears blind(pardon he pun) that he would rather lose his sight then his hearing, so does my mothjer, but i simply cannot believe this.

In a nutshell, because I love music so much.

but you have the groovy signers on the music channels late at night
I think if you lose all your sense of feeling/touch you are practically paralysed. So it does happen we just dont call it losing your touch. Hence my reasoning that it is the worst.
I think your right. my mum always knows if I lie to her, even before I do it.
oh come on Jim, no sens eof touch is nothing like paralasis...
phil, or whever it was about the "love music"
i love music also... and i mean i really do, i have music on now and have had for about 6 hours this evening, the TV is off and i am watching a tennis stream. when giving a reason why i wanna come home to my GF i always say i wanna hear some tunes as one of them. i would still rather see than be deaf.
i reckon my love of music, loud music, is a major contributant to my hearing loss...

plus, u tend to lose sense of feeling instantly through accident. the others can go slowly. therefore you would feel it is more of a "wear and tear" jobbie imo lol
anyway, i am going to watch the tennis in bed on my netboom in a mo. goodnight all, i have enjoyed tonights banater. i wont be typing as much when lying down as it just isn't comnfortable...
C'mon verdascos opponant...

I am not sure. a partial loss of feeling is one thing, but toal loss is another. If you have no feeling you have no feedback to the motpr sensors, and though capable of moving it would be akin to jelly. I think.
I get by with loss of smell but think deaf is very lonely. Sight is a close second.
as any watcher of QI will knwo there are many more sense than 5. eg what sense is feeling heat or cold?, or spatial awareness

Being deaf would mean you can't just sit and socialise with friends/family - the most basic of things which keep you going on a daily basis .
You don't need to see people to talk to them , but you sure need to hear them to have a normal,everyday conversation .
I see people with limited sight on a regular basis and, generally speaking, they have relatively high spirits compared to the few deaf people i have come across .
