“NSFW” in Braille

A few years ago, as I fixed the porn-popup-infested computer of a friend (learn more about this strictly male phenomena here), we wondered jokingly what blind people do on the internet, since they can’t look at porn. On a lark we searched “porn for the blind” and came across – you guessed it – PornForTheBlind.org. Which, in spite of what it claims is its aim, is about as erotic as Bill O’Reilly reading the “sexy” parts (samples below) of his audio book Those Who Trespass. In any case, this got us pondering what an under-exploited market this must be. Sure, the blind are constitutionally entitled to Playboy in braille, but apparently they leave out the “good bits”. We envisioned a tactile and audio scratch ‘n’ sniff version, and had a good laugh. I certainly never dreamed anyone would actually make a book like this, but in a real-life variation of Rule 34, someone has. Canadian artist & photographer Lisa J. Murphy has created a hand-crafted, limited edition erotic book for the blind called Tactile Mind, which is comprised of seventeen tactile photographs on white thermoform plastic pages accompanied by braille descriptions. Apparently equal op-porn-tunity is a booming industry; there’s also Porn for the deaf. I’d stick to the porn that you don’t have to look at if I were you, science has finally established that erotic images can make you blind. If you can handle it, the “erotic” Bill O’Reilly passages are below.
