Porn for the Blind

This came up on "Have I Got News For You?" and I had to look it up

It's not exactly what I would call sexy! But it is a start.

I had never thought about this before, despite working with and knowing visually impaired people. But it's an obvious idea now, and I hope that people will be inspired to produce more work.

Porn for all!

(except children)

Produced by photographer Lisa Murphy

 

"We live in a society that is much sexualized - just look at advertising," she said by telephone from her Toronto home. "But if you can't see then you are probably not aware of how sexualized it is."

"And I believe that vision-impaired people have been (wrongly) left out of the experience."

"Or course, anyone can find it erotic, not just the vision-impaired," Murphy added.

The book, entitled "Tactile Mind," features pages made of thermoform plastic - the same material used for Braille.

Each page contains raised images of naked men and women in various poses, some wearing masks or in suggestive bondage, along with titillating phrases in Braille.
