English term or phrase: deadened my lower senses
Testo teatrale americano (per la messa in scena e non per la pubblicazione). Dialogo tra due ospiti di una casa di riposo.

A: I was talking to a fellow last night, before the film deadened my lower senses.

La mia proposta:

A: Parlavo con un tipo ieri sera, prima che il film mi ammosciasse le parti basse.

Cerco soluzioni migliori. Grazie.

non credo che in questo caso lower significhi basso, si riferisce proprio a tatto, olfatto e gusto....io opterei per un mi uccidesse i sensi (in generale)

Reference: significato di "lower senses"

Reference information:
Incuriosita dalla risposta di Maria Teresa, ho controllato anch'io e in effetti sembra che "lower senses" si riferisca a sensi come il tatto, la propriocezione ecc... a meno che non sia un'espressione idiomatica, di cui però non sono riuscita a trovare dei riscontri...

Forse quindi potrebbe voler dire che il film era noioso, come dice Dandamesh, in particolare non dava alcuna emozione (i lower senses sembrano essere legati a sensazioni più viscerali...)...

According to this hierarchy, the higher senses are associated with values highly regarded by society and the lower senses with lower or even negative values.
