From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.While you would think pornography is something you very much enjoy with your eyes, there have been developments in recent years so not to exclude blind people.
Last year, Pornhub introduced their “described videos” for their visually impaired users. The videos feature guest voices who narrate what is happening in their most popular videos. The video sharing site initially released 50 narrated videos and later extended it to add more.
While audio porn has been around for longer, on the main porn sites visually impaired people just had to listen to the sounds without properly knowing or understanding what was going on in the scene.
One 41-year-old man, who has been blind since the age of 17, told Esquire the new descriptions make the videos “much more vivid [and] much more real”.
Another 34-year-old man from Australia who has been blind since the age of three told the magazine he sometimes initially listens to the video with the narrative and then will find the same video in its version so he can focus on the sounds in the video without the voiceover drowning it out.
“Once I know what’s going on in the scene, I don’t need the description,” he said.
All the men interviewed by the magazine said they hoped more narrated videos would be added to the site soon.
