In a world full of hi-res images and mammouth sized screens, have you ever taken a minute to think about the visually impaired?
Well, Porn for the Blind, a nonprofit organisation based in Cambridge, Mass. has done just that. Establishing itself for the sole purpose of making the millions of free porn clips available online accessible to people with visual impairments, volunteer 'audiodescribers' watch porn preview videos and describe the action.
The site was initially slow to take off with only 14 audio descriptions uploaded, but after a little press attention the site streamed more than 40GB to more than 50,000 visitors.
According to Regina Lynn, "there's something hot about the absolute amateur quality of the submissions, just like a homemade snapshot capturing real sexual energy can have more impact than a studio photograph of a professional model."
I'll take her word for it.

Finally, something for the blind that could make them smile and have a better enjoyable life.

Yes I do think about the visually impaired and work to help them all the time. They are the ones that do not think of me with their wrongful acoustic lobbied Laws that messed up with the Industry, Commerce and Public Transportation all over the United States. It is time to start to tell the Public at large of this Truth and You can help!
Here is a question I answered today about the issue of beep signals by a person that has been acoustically harassed by it.
<---Question Starts--->
My neighbor a coffee mill (the manger) feel it is his responsibility to harass my wife & myself. He goes out of his way to back up his truck every morning to beep beep beep us. I arrived home this evening to have him wait till I get outta my truck to make noise wt truck/forklift. We call the police, will call the health dept. tomorrow. Any ideas to how to deal with this excessive of beeping?? thanks, tom

<---My Answer Starts--->
This is what I am talking about here and I am just going to repeat myself until everyone gets it.
The Disability Community, (The blind, partially blind, deaf, partially deaf) with their Lawyers lobbied the acoustic laws to serve the less the 1% of the disable population against 99.9% of the entire population and The Congress went ahead the approved these types of contradicted laws living the (health department) and the (police department) with their hands tied up and not able to tell the truth or ethically resolve any of this properly.
Then it is safe to say that the Disability Community handle this beep signals to anyone wishing to install it in their vehicles. Therefore anyone can go around harassing and trespassing everyone's living environment with these little acoustic weapons that have a range of a least 1/4 of a mile noise pitch and frequency. The blind is not there, the deaf is not there, it is impossible to be there to use these noise signals because they are just less than 1% of the population. However, the true reality is that everyone is getting acoustically abused to serve this less than 1% of the population.
Please USA, wake up! It is time to call Congress and let them know about their notorious and suspicious acoustic mistakes in the Law.
This is actually unlawful and therefore unethical that needs to be corrected ASAP. Here in San Francisco, more and more accidents are happening because people are so stressed and falsely desensitized with these beep noise signals, that they do not react any longer when real situations of danger are about to happen. I was waking downtown Yesterday and I saw this happening right in front of me. A truck was shooting ear piercing beep signals and the people did not care and walked behind it anyways. That just prove that education and attention from motorists and pedestrians is that is the key to safety, not noise.
Trying to work on the bottom of City Departments will not work! We are in the hands of a group of acoustic psychopaths that can give a rats ass about anyone's life or rights of quietness out there.
We need to hit Congress on this one. This mess comes from the (Top of the Legislative and Executive) that spills to the (Judiciary) with no mercy to anyone in this Country.
Print this and start acting! Thank You!
Ps: It has been seven (7) Years that I am suffering from beep signals, high pitch whistles, voice signals from the bus lines and I never have seen any blind or disable people arriving at these bus stops. The real question here is: It wouldn't be more reasonable to take care of these small group of disable individuals instead shooting the whole Universe of People?

By the way I think the blind and disable individuals are entitle to have sexual fun like everybody else! -
Maybe they should get trained porn actors/actresses to read them. Props to people who actually donate their time to record their snippets, but a monotone Ben Stei-like voice isn't the biggest turn-on.
-
imagine the market for this if the old wives' tale about masturbation making you blind were true...
-
Finally! Looks like I don't need a DVD player in my car after all!

As a member of the VI community, I have got to say that there are better things people can do with their time and resources than make us porn...how about some equal opportunity employment? Or better education resources? Oh, wait, this is America, nevermind!

I found this story last night and SOOO wanted to post it, but you beat me to the punch! This is great!
-
I do wonder where this photo came from...because if this poor guy isn't really looking at porn, I feel bad that he was portrayed in this light.
-
I'm sorry but I was laughing when I heard about this on the radio this morning! Yes, blind people need porn too, but just the thought of someone sitting their recording everything that happens has to make you laugh!

You should be able to choose the sex of the 'audiodescribers.'

What a society we have!! Instead of investing our energy in improving life, we feel the need to spend time and resources on things that do not need to be done. What next? Kiddie porn for the blind? At what time will we decide this is a bad idea? I wonder what the law will say about prosecuting the blind for downloading child porn- even if it is audio only??
-
Neurozool....oh my god so you are going to actually sit here and deny someone else the right to "get theirs" GIVE ME A BREAK !!! If i was blind i would be thanking jesus that i could finally have something stimulating to masturbate to rather than fill in the blanks. Stop being so negative... -
Neurozool- Your right, and you know what? the judicial system will have to allocate more of the taxpayers dollars to fund the creation of and execution of a new law or clause that legally binds Blind Kiddie Porn viewers as liable to prosecution! what an unnecessary expenditure that will be...
Raven- I don't think Jesus would appreciate your perverted praises for masturbation.... I'm sure you think otherwise though..-
