Stupid solutions from visual people (e.g porn)(self.Blind)
submitted by Gregyurik
TL;DR : Have you encountered any funny/annoying/plain stupid ways that visual people attempt to 'help' blind/visually impaired people?
Not particularly NSFW but thought it best to mark just in case. I can see so this is just a question from the curious (sorry if this is the wrong place for that, I couldn't find any other particularly active communities). It occurred to me that I wasn't sure if there was the equivalent of visual porn for blind/visually impaired people. After a quick google I discovered PornHub have recently announced a 'descriptive' category. Watching a couple of the videos I thought that they were garbage as it was just visual porn with a stilted description of what was literally taking place eg "she had humungous cans". I figured that, if i couldn't see, i wouldn't just want a description of something visual, but audio that was in itself sexy (telling a story etc). Im guessing there are some much better audio erotica sites. I occasionally write comedy and I thought that a bit about the stupid ways visual people attempt to solve problems for non-visual people would be quite funny. Obviously, not wishing to be offensive to blind/visually impaired people, but instead make fun of strange visual mindsets. So any answers to the following questions would be much appreciated:
1. Do you think you would find a bit like this offensive? 2. Have you tried descriptive porn? If so what was good and what was funny/bad? 3. What other stupid ways have you found that visual people attempt to 'help' blind/visually impaired people
I've have a look through FAQs to try work out the correct language so if I got it wrong please know that I am not trying to offend.

As far as descriptive porn, I pulled it up out of sheer curiosity a few months back. Personally found it comical and cringy/disturbing all at the same time; definitely wasn’t offended. That being said, have heard of some blind people who actually find it helpful. An example of sighted people *trying* to be helpful would be saying things like “over there” when giving directions. Again, not offensive in the least to me. Just annoying at the time, and usually amusing after the fact.

"She had humongous cans, over there....and needed help loading them into her cart."

Thanks for the reply! There was a funny example of this on would I lie to you where Gabby Logan attempted to demonstrate a wave to Chris McClausland who was in the middle of telling a story about how he couldn’t see his neighbour wave. Link below, 1:15 for the moment but I’d recommend the whole clip

I wouldn't find it offensive.
I can't even listen to audio books with sex scenes in them without laughing at how awkward it sounds read aloud. I can't imagine audio described porn. I'm sure some folks are into it and that's great for them, but I think I'd just sit there giggling awkwardly the whole time I was listening.
So if comedy is what you're going for, I think that's certainly... doable. If you haven't already, listen to *My Dad Wrote a Porno*.

Oh yeah I've heard of that but haven't actually listened to it. I suppose someone beat me to it slightly

lol in terms of porn there are many performers who do porn ASMR audios, some of my favourites currently are Angel of Temptation, Lush in Lace, and the Audio Excite team.
There's also sites for porn and erotic stories which I like.
