I was surfing through some blogs yesterday night when i came across this article. It immediately caught my attention and forced me to think for a while. Thats been said, the blind are deprived of several of life’s pleasures (and horrors too, for that matter) but hey, should they be deprived of porn too, something that we all enjoy, even if we won’t cough up to it. No sir, they shouldn’t be, and that’s why we have plethora of audio erotica available in the market. What about the real porn though – the one’s that are available on websites for all to see (and admire, or criticize)?
Porn for the Blind is a non-profit organization based in Cambridge, Massachusetts in the United States which offers sexual stimuli for blind people over the internet. Created in 2005, it has become a fast-growing phenomenon, providing an otherwise unavailable service for millions of people. The service operates through the medium of a website, Pornfortheblind.org, composed of a white background with a list of links to mp3 sound clips of pornographic content contributed by volunteers(and their are quite a lot of them).
Can it be categorized as a social service? Quite controversial, but i think fair enough.

yeah it is social service!! i think porn for anyone (leave alone the visually impaired) in general is social service which is why it is legal in so many countries…
