Here’s an interesting article about a new sexy book with a twist. It’s been written and produced for the blind.
‘Tactical Mind’ is billing itself as the first erotic book for blind people and it incorporates raised sexually explicit images as well as erotic descriptions in Braille. The book has received a great deal of attention recently by mainstream newspapers here and abroad. “Porn you can touch,” was how it was described by the New York Daily News.
The author, Lisa Murphy, is a photographer who observed, as many of us do, the sexualization of , well, everything and she decided to create a new venue for pornography – tactile erotica. She wasn’t sure it would appeal to a large crowd, more, that she worked hard on the idea and was commited to it. “I’d been dragging it around to erotic fairs for the last two years,” Murphy commented. “It was a labor of love and I never expected to make any money from it.”
It certainly seems like it involved a great deal of labor as the author used friends to pose for pictures and then created sculptures for each one. It took her hundreds of hours.
What I find particularly fascinating about this project is that too often the physically challenged get left behind in an erotic world. We somehow think they “don’t really count.” Or aren’t sexual beings. It’s always important to recognize that all of us, yes all of us, deserve healthy ways to attend to our sex lives.
