Fleshbot: straight, accessibility is hot

Listen Up: More Porn For The Blind

While the concept of "porn for the blind" sounds like the setup for a punchline, the truth is that we've had a few occasions over the years to tell you about legitimate efforts to help the visually impaired enjoy all that hot smut those of us with normal vision take for granted. That said, we're not entirely sure this latest effort is entirely for real: aside from not believing anything this week, to us there's something faintly ridiculous about someone reading a detailed description of the visuals on a website like Big Sausage Pizza in the sort of soothing tones better suited to an accountant explaining capital gains tax. Still, we're aware that there's apparently an audience for this sort of thing, so who knows? And at the very least, an MP3 version of Big Tits Round Asses might be just the thing to get us through our next lengthy commute. (Much as we love Terry Gross, there's only enough "Fresh Air" we can take sometimes.)

Wired's Regina Lynn talks to the founder...

Wired's Regina Lynn talks to the founder of that Deaf Bunny porn site that we came across a couple of months ago: "We want to expose the mainstream to our language ... and to the sexual activities in the movies — the importance of eye contact, facial expressions and body language while engaging in sex acts." Hey, give us enough hot girl-on-girl action and we're all ... uh, ears. (wired.com; more @ Deaf Bunny)

Deaf Bunny: Porn For The Deaf (And Everyone Else)

You might be wondering whether there's really an audience for porn produced by and specifically catering to the needs of deaf people: after all, we're all in the habit of turning down the volume anyway when we're ~~spanking it to~~ reviewing a title like "Rim My Gape" so we don't disturb our neighbors (who already think we're pervs at it is from all those boxes of porn screeners that pile up outside our door every day). But don't dismiss DeafBunny's fledgling DVD line as just another instance of too-specific niche marketing: there's indeed something very hot about watching performers talk about hot girl-on-girl action and express their love for eating pussy via ASL, supertitles, and thought bubbles. And babes like Brooke Beckham and Victoria Hilton are smokin' hot no matter how acute your hearing happens to be. (Besides, if there's such thing as porn for the visually impaired, we guess it's only fair.)

Sounds Dirty: Redefining Aural Sex, One Moan At A Time

It is estimated that there are approximately 140 million people worldwide who cannot fully use the internet due to visual or hearing impairments. Don't they deserve porn too? Even though this problem has been (sort of) addressed before, few smutmeisters have tried to tap into this demographic. But there's at least one site that sees a huge potential subscriber base where the blind are concerned: Sounds Dirty caters to vision-impaired users by offering erotic stories, zoomable pictures galleries, and hardcore videos complete with subtitles and audio descriptions. They also claim to be fully compliant with all major web usability standards, which is refreshing in a business where some web designers still think the tag is the latest in cutting-edge display technology. You can still enjoy the site if you happen to be one of the lucky ones who doesn't need glasses (it's still porn, after all), which is handy if you get off on a sexy voice telling you what position a couple happens to be fucking in or you just want some MP3s of girls giving blowjobs for your iPod, Sounds Dirty admirably fills a long-neglected gap. In the land of the blind, a breathy voice whispering "Fuck me harder!" in your ear is king. Or, uh, queen.
