A pornographic magazine for the blind has been launched - complete with explicit text and raised pictures of naked men and women.
The book, the brainchild of Lisa Murphy and called Tactile Minds, is designed to be 'enjoyed' by the blind and visually impaired - and is on sale for £150. Among the 17 raised images include a naked woman in a 'disco pose', a woman with 'perfect breasts' and a 'male love robot'.
Canadian Lisa says that she made the book to fill a gap in the market, adding: "There are no books of tactile pictures of nudes for adults.
"We're breaking new ground. Playboy has an edition with Braille wording, but there are no pictures." She said that she made the book after realising that the 'blind have been left out in a culture saturated with sexual images'.
Between 1970 and 1985 Playboy printed copies of its famous magazine in braille - but without raised pictures.

I’ve actually seen a Braille Playboy magazine. It was printed on what looked like paper bag material. I wonder if the blind were just as bored as I was with the Norman Mailer articles.

Will there be soft porn versions for the slightly sensitive blind and hard core for the depraved blind?

Shouldn’t they just watch ordinary porn video with volume up?

All this time I thought the blind really did buy Playboy just to read the articles!
To: nickcarraway
Next they’ll want to sell pornography to dogs.
And what about kitty porn?
