Two American researchers been awarded the Nobel Prize for Medicine after discovering receptors for temperature and touch. They've been dubbed 'students of the senses'.
So what is your most treasured sense: sight, touch, smell, hearing or taste ? And why ?

Common.
Some one had to post that.
Sound and taste for me. I'm far more auditory than sight based, I think I could live without sight but without the joy of sound, music, hearing loved ones voices I'd be very sad. Actually touch as well. I need the endorphins of physical touch, whether it's sexual or platonic. Basically not taste because I'd lose weight and sight... well my eyesight isn't great as is. |

Sound and taste for me too (not copying _eli I promise)
Sight has to be in front of you but sound is all around. And when you are deprived of sight sound becomes even more acute
Taste because I adore food. Its a very erotic sense |

I was tempted to say touch but not having been touched in the last 18 months, I guess I can manage ok without that. I don’t know that I could ever decide between sight and sound, the loss of music would be awful though I would have the memory of it, but trying to navigate the world without sight must be so challenging |

Sound and taste bring me the most joy I guess is what I was trying to say |

Very difficult question because they're all so important.
I actually think it's hearing because being excluded from conversation is a very lonely place to be and most people don't sign, myself included. |

Thanks for all the thoughtful replies.
My most important one would be sight, but I think my favourite one is hearing as music is such a passion and pleasure of mine. |

"Sight 100%
Smell and taste is still fooked anyway thanks to covid "
Of course, and so many people had that awful experience. I hope they will recover eventually? |

Sense of touch.
Love sights, sounds, taste and smells of a sexy body in lingerie.
But its the feel under my fingers that gets me everytime.
Real world answer.
Sight, could function without sight. Need to see my offspring grow and change. Think I could function without one or more of the others. |

"I used to work with people who had varying sensory losses. I think I would hate to lose my sight but I think my favourite sense is touch. "
Its a fascinating subject I think. Most of us probably do take them for granted. |

I would be most disabled, I think, without my sight.
I speak somewhat from experience - several years ago I smashed my glasses and it took nearly two weeks to get new ones. I had to be led around by the hand. |

"Touch. It's vital. It makes us human. And unhealthy to live without any.

Could do a music thread about senses |

Should give proper credit to the Nobel winner. This is from BBC website:
'David Julius and Ardem Patapoutian share the 2021 prize in Medicine or Physiology for their work on sensing touch and temperature.
They unpicked how our bodies convert physical sensations into electrical messages in the nervous system.
Their findings could lead to new ways of treating pain.
Heat, cold and touch are crucial for experiencing the world around us and for our own survival.
But how our bodies actually do it had been one of the great mysteries of biology.'

Sight
We’re lucky to live life and to see everything of beauty is the cherry on top   |

"Sight touch !
Have no sense of smell or taste since covid !
Miss them two senses the most !  "
I'm sorry, can't even imagine that. We must appreciate and use all our amazing senses while we can ! |

I wouldn't want to lose my sight, I could adjust to losing other senses a lot easier.
But from a sexual perspective I wouldn't want to lose my sense of hearing. I love to have my other senses restricted...and I don't just mean being tied up and blindfolded. My sense of hearing is my most erogenous sense.

I’d hate losing my sight most I think, I list my sense of smell and taste with Covid, that was weird made eating just a chore rather than a pleasure.
My favourite sense is touch though. To enjoy the sensation of touch is such is definitely my favourite sense

Common sense, sixth sense, nonsense, sense of humour, even Spidey senses. Brilliant additions to the ones I listed and all equally valuable in their way.
What a lot of sense-ible and sense-itive people we have on Forum |

Balance. You're doing fuck all without it and your whole perception of reality will warp without it.
If you had every other sense but not balance, the world would spin, it would feel like you we're moving fast and then in slow motion. Even sitting down wouldnt fix it. |

Hmm, I think for me it would be sight. I could live without all the others but the thought of not seeing my loved ones and all the other joys of life breaks my heart... the moon on a clear night, the calm ocean, moody skies, the rain falling and hitting the ground... conkers and the colours of Autumn... I could go on!! It's sight for me yes. |

In a ball gown because that's how we roll in N. Devon |
I've been mostly deaf for a long time (except when I use my bionic audio assist obviously), so losing that is a real fear.
I lost most of my sight for several weeks a few years back when my optic nerves were being crushed due to my body trying to destroy me. That was terrifying.
Covid hurt my sense of taste and smell, but almost 18 months on that's coming back now.
I lost all feeling in my right leg, completely, for no apparent reason, a few years ago. That was scary as I had to retrain my brain in order to be able to walk on it.
Losing any of them is awful, but from experience I can say that sight or hearing are the worst for me on a day to day basis. But losing my hearing scares me more than anything else. |
