Porn Braille
Porn Braille
It may sound like Porn Braille is someones idea of an April Fool joke. But no, this is for real. A Canadian woman has spent two years putting together what must be a unique publication in the form of a magazine which she has named 'Tactile Minds'. The magazine is much like the real thing with text based stories. The big difference here is that the raised pictures are touch and feel, an element missing from the conventional porn magazine. Each image within the book took a minimum of fifty hours to produce. 'Playboy' previously had a braille edition though it lacked the pictures.
One would presume that no offence would be caused to the average magazine shop browser and so it would not be necessary to confine the publication to the top shelf. The Porn Braille mag does not come cheap however and at £150 it will no doubt be sealed in plastic.
Those who have had contact with the magazine so far have approved. One partially sighted man is said to have said "It is what blind people have been waiting their entire lives for."
Each of the magazines is numbered and signed by the author. This has already elevated the publication from porn to 'art' status. This moves it into the realms of erotica and makes purchase more acceptable.

That's not natural u al going to hell for sinning
Wow! A great find for my cousin who is blind but he's not a liability. He's educated and has a steady job as reflexologist.
Cool. I thought I was the only one who had a copy. I have a 1974 December issue in braille that I bough 30 years ago at a garage sale for a couple of bucks. It sits on a table with books by classical authors, I always wondered what it might be worth.
Thanks Chuck
I am blind, and technology is moving forward, this is a step backwards i my opinion.
I would take the money and buy a prostitute, much more edifying.
it is good that PLAYBOY issued this in January 1974. and there have been half ass attempts at raised pictures, which, in my opinion, is an insult to the intelligence of the Blind, per say, as they are crude.
I am a blind artist and paint nudes and sculpt. I have no problem producing my work, blindness is not a second citisen trait nor condition.
And a comment which called, Blind people 'Blinds', off to the Pillory for you.
Great Hub. God Bless You.
Another great hub, Peter. Thanks
Hello Peter! I thought you were kidding with this one, but not so! It's kinda cool that the blind's demand is also addressed, and I guess it just goes to prove porn (or erotica, if we're gonna get all artsy :-P) sells :)
This is amazing, I am sharing it in my facebook page. The only shame is that it is so expensive...
Kudos for your guts!! The people who cant see have a supporter in you!! Whether you earn money through adsense or not is irrelevant!! Your ideal is what needs to be appreciated .. Thanks!!
Hmmm, and I thought sex was the big seller on the internet. Like spam, I guess there's just too much of it.
If you figure it out, let us know!
Just a thought. It may be that the word count is too low. I think adsense prefers 400-600 word hubs. I could be wrong about that, but I think I read it somewhere.
Of course it could also be a random act of weirdness.
Next we'll get scratch and sniff porn magazines, ewwww! Why did that pop into my head?
Wow! This is so interesting and what a fabulous concept!! Love it!
Nice but strange to love.
I love it!! Thanks for passing it on.
I had no idea.
Well, the blinds can see through their sense of touch. I have a cousin who's blind but often appreciate the beauty of a person by just touching and feeling the contour of one's face. This is really a find, Sir Pete D!
Nice one, Peter. That is amazing! How do you come up with this stuff?
I am shocked and I really don't know what comment to that.
