Photographer Lisa Murphy believed the blind lacked access to our “much sexualized” world, so she decided to create a new kind of pornography, with tactile images, the first designed especially for the blind.

“When I had the idea, I started looking around and I realized there were no nude books out there for the blind … We live in a society that is much sexualized — just look at advertising,” she said by telephone from her Toronto home. “But if you can’t see then you are probably not aware of how sexualized it is, and I believe that vision-impaired people have been (wrongly) left out of the experience.”

The book, entitled “Tactile Mind,” features pages made of thermoform plastic — the same material used for Braille.

**blog note** We here are definitely fans of all kinds of artistic endeavors, especially art that is accommodating like this, so there is no disrespect intended for the author with the naming of this blog post, we just named it PFTB, because that is how cnn described it in their piece.
