Thousands of years ago, we came up with the wheel; five decades ago, we rocketed a man on the moon; today earthlings, we’re happy to announce that mankind has made porn for the blind. Where did this otherworldly technology come from, you ask? It came from the future (well, basically the future, Stockholm) and it signals a great liberation.

In spite of unemployment rates and lack of productivity amongst the visually impaired being expected to soar, the book’s author and 33-year-old artist Nina Linde sees this as a breakthrough in attitudes towards the blind developing, but not as porn.

The book is about stimulation, I don’t think ‘porn’ is the right word. And porn is for everyone. I discovered that there is no porn or dirty stuff at all for the visually impaired. Everyone needs sexual stimulation.

Linde came up with the idea when she helped a visually impaired man cross the road in Chile a few years back. The man, we’ll refer to him as the Prophet, made a joke to her about Sweden’s liberal attitude to sex.

This realisation, that he had these thoughts even though he was blind, made me curious about how blind people’s sexuality is being discussed in society.

Well, Prophet, if only you could be here today* to enjoy these pictures and their braille descriptions of a five-person orgy, a woman wearing a strap-on and all the little button anuses a guy could want.

The book was initially finished in 2010, but has only been delivered to the National Library of Sweden today.

*The prophet is probably still alive, we just felt it handy to make him a martyr for the sake of this article.
