This question will most likely be perceived as offending by most blind people, including me.
It happens quite often that people ask us completely inappropriate questions they would never ask a person with no disability and assume that's okay, so it's a difficult subject.

To answer your question: of course we do. What in the world makes you doubt that?

Some advice for you: think twice before asking such insensitive questions.

nah blind people are stupid as fuck. we can't masturbate let alone have sex. dw you're quite safe from us lmao

I’ve been seeing a lot of questions like this on the blind subreddit lately. “Do blind people do this?” “how do blind people do this?” etc.

They are humans and do everything sighted people do. Enough with these ridiculous fucking questions.

So you come here and ask an utterly insensitive question as if blind people were rats in a lab for you to investigate and are upset people respond in the same level?

Oh, poor you.

I hardly masturbate, (i don’t find it pleasurable,) and I know I need a woman there to truly get turned on.

It's a pretty dumb question, yes, but do I think all these blindies should be getting butthurt about it? No.

Hell yeah! Sometimes like 4 times in a day.

I have fantasies, but do not masturbate. I do not see in my fantasies but imagine touching the person I fantasize about. Their big, soft belly, their hands, all that. I never feel the need to masturbate, as it never helps.,

Alright, I'm wrapping this show up.

So I'm not gonna rough you up as much as some others in this thread, but I think the problem they might be having is that your curiosity was phrased in a way that came from skepticism rather than a curiosity about the specifics of a pretty much universal human experience. We get asked a lot, of stuff like "Do blind people use the internet?" or "Do blind people date?" to which there is the implicit expectation the answer might be "No, they don't." It frames the questions in a way that just assumes these helpless blind people can't do all these other things everybody else does to fulfill their life, and since those lowered expectations are actually more challenging obstacles than the mechanics of operating without vision, some of us are quick to bristle at them. You'd have gotten far better responses with, "How do sexual fantasies work/manifest for someone who is blind?" Because you at least give us the benefit of the doubt that we DO have them. Like, yaknow, pretty much everybody. For my part, yes, when I'm rolling solo to get off I do have fantasies, they are more oriented to tactile and aural sensations though. Instead of seeing someone in my mind's eye, I feel them with my mind's hands or other parts of the body or hear them with my mind's ear. I hope that both answers your question and maybe explains a little more calmly why it was not very well received.

Hi $1,

I'm sorry for the way you have been treated in this thread. This behaviour is unique to reddit, not the blind community of the world. I hope you are not discouraged from making friends with a blind person because of this. I feel the description for this sub should be modified to remove "those who are just curious" if this group is going to be so vicious to someone who is just truly curious. I think it's incredibly disingenuous to pretend like human sexuality is not a very visual human experience. I find it ironic that in this same sub there is a question from someone who wants to know "How to make friends at school." They write "At school I'm ignored and I only have one friend..." This is easy to understand isn't it. If you try to make friends with a blind person and you violate the "blind" code of conduct by asking a bad question or trying to be helpful, you are MONSTER! There are probably a lot of people who are just plain afraid to interact with the blind for fear of committing some unpardonable sin against them. For example, I can hold the door for an able bodied man who has his hands full, and he nods in appreciation. I can hold the door for a pregnant woman, or a man in a wheelchair and they say thank-you. But OH MY GOD if I do something in any way to assist the blind person without their express written permission, I have just committed a terrible hate crime against all blind people everywhere. You blind folks need to lighten up and build some bridges between the blind community and the sighted, and not spend all your time trying to be offended.

I have fantasies but I don’t masturbait cause it’s pointless for me. Doesn’t do any good. 😕🙁🙁🙁😕😕😕😕 As far as seeing the said fantasies, no. But that’s cause I prefer not to. But I can feel things sometimes.

I realize that’s probably more information than people wanted to know, but hey, if you don’t want to know an answer to a question, don’t post it because I will see it and answer honestly.
