There is a body of scientific evidence (at least stories/positions taken my medical expert witnesses at trials) that for me, the sense of smell is often the first trigger (even before sight and touch) to getting in the mood. That argument was advanced in a case where a 40s something engineer ran his mountain bike straight into a concrete wall (allegedly due to a defect with the bicycle) causing his head to come to an abrupt stop, whereupon the brain slushed forward thereby severing the olfactory nerves that protrude up from the nose through the base of the skull. As a result, he lost all sense of smell, and along with it his libido.

To a jury of one's so-called peers (at least the 34 year old actress wife's peers), what do you think the "loss of the husband's libido" was worth in terms of a damages award?

And, does this contribute to an answer? For me, the sense of touch is more significant, but it all depends on the circumstances. The caress of a hand from another fellow's wife on the inside of my thigh at a dinner table in a fine restaurant, conjures something up every time, but then so does a sexy check at the bar going commando style -- especially if I can see from my table that she is occasionally stroking herself.
