Anyone wanna talk bout how we can remember (in terms of "playing back in your head") visual and auditory stimuli, but not touch, taste or smell--which is likely part of why it's hard to remember good sex? I hadn't ever really thought about it in that context, but you can recall various scenes and picture them in your mind (the old "mind's eye") and you can recall sounds and play them back in your mind (we've all had songs stuck in our head), but if you try to recall how something felt or tasted, all you can really remember is more of an indirect abstract description like "rough" or "salty" (when was the last time you had a tast stuck in your head?)...of course you can recognize tastes or textures easily enough if you experience them again, but its the recalling part that's hard. Maybe I could make some sort of comment about being unable to consciously explicitly recall most of the important sensations of sex and the role that plays in our sexual desire--desire feeding off memory's failure to replicate the sensations or something...
