Woman Creates 3-D Erotic Book For the Blind

Lisa J. Murphy has written an erotic book with tactile images for that special visually impaired porn connoisseur in your life. Tactile Mind contains explicit softcore raised images, along with Braille text and photos. From the article: "A photographer with a certificate in Tactile Graphics from the Canadian National Institute for the Blind, Murphy learned to create touchable images of animals for books for visually impaired children. Then she realized that there was a lack of such books for adults only. 'There are no books of tactile pictures of nudes for adults, at least the last time I looked around,' says Murphy. 'We're breaking new ground. Playboy has [an edition with] Braille wording, but there are no pictures.' She says that while we live in a culture saturated with sexual images, the blind have been 'left out.'"

    I hope she skips the goatse 3D pictorial.... even for the Blind, once something has been 'touched' it can't be 'untouched'.

      The exclusion of Goatse from any pictorial erotica collection would be leaving a significant hole...

    Every body knows masturbation leads to blindness, so, now, she's gonna push these people even further. Haven't they paid a big enough price already for their obsession?
