Tactile Pornography

RantWoman has a friend who teaches English to blind and visually impaired people. This friend started helping RantWoman learn Braille quite awhile ago; RantWoman is not the most diligent student, but she has the utmost admiration for the different props Braille Teacher friend has. One especially fun item is a tactile storybook whose characters have anatomical details such as nipples and genitalia identifiable through their clothing.

RantWoman has been thinking of this story book today because news has reached her of a an attempt, published in England, to produce tactile pornography.

RantWoman is definitely not too much of a lady to admit probably about the normal adult human level of interest in themes erotic. However, RantWoman is thoroughly bemused that the publishers of this new work did not even mess around with the term erotica and instead went straight for the world is going to hell in a handbasket frankness of "pornography." At least they are being inclusive!
