Naughty Jester

So a question for you to ponder on this metaphysicalest of mondays: which of the five senses clinches the title as the sexiest? Which one stands up as most responsible for the extension of the human species?

For my money, smell has to be up there. One can never underestimate the powerful effect of pheromones – those wafty, wonderful scents inducing chemical attraction and coupling willy-nilly.

And hell, the zillion dollar porn industry would not exist if were not for the prominence of sight to excite. Of course, this stimulates that age-old debate over the differences between males and females approach to sensuality.

The sweet spot where there is no disputation is the kiss. For both the men and women it combines taste and touch in the blissful union of passions: silky lip upon lip, tongue to tongue, and thirst quenching thirst.

Lastly, let us not forget sound. A well-placed moan of ecstasy can drive even the most celibate to fever.

So after long, careful consideration, I must say it is none of the traditional five senses – smell, sight, taste, sound, touch – that qualifies as most sexy. That honor goes to a well-developed sense of humor. Yes, making whoopee with another is what it is all about …

Which sense do you think is the sexiest and why?
