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 <blink> 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.
