Porn for the Blind? PornHub Is Making It a Reality

Until now, the blind or visually impaired have had precious few porn options (other than just listening to the groans and imagining the rest). That’s about to change.

The tubedin, one of the world’s largest online purveyors of skin flicks, has just created a new category of porn called “described video” that adds special narration to already-existing porn films.

A female narrator describes the setting, the actors, what positions they are in, and even what the actors are (or aren’t) wearing for their visually impaired audience.

For instance, one video begins: “A white woman in a cheap-looking red power suit sits next to a tall, white, lanky, middle-aged man with brown hair, a white shirt, a gray suit and a red-striped tie.”

Hubba hubba, huh? (Apparently it gets much more exciting after that…)

So far, Pornhub.com offers 50 enhanced-audio videos made from the site’s top-viewed straight, female-friendly, gay and bi videos.

Watch a mashup of work-friendly snippets below.

Says Pornhub Vice President Corey Price:

“It’s our way of giving back, and we’re excited to hear what people think. With over 60 million people visiting our site each day, we did feel it important to start to include this type of more-accessible content on our platform though, given the relative ambiguity of the concept and the sheer number of people who are visually impaired around the world.”

Adding descriptions to existing videos was a challenge, Price said.

“We put a considerable amount of effort into having the scripts for the added audio tracks be descriptive and enticing, to add enough while leaving enough space for the video’s original audio and having everything match up just right,” he explained.

Described video is intended for visually impaired porn fans, but Price suspects it may have broader appeal. “Will they like it more than the videos they are accustomed to? You never know. Some just might,” he said.
