April 13: A porn magazine has been launched for blind people - with saucy Braille and raised pictures of nudes. The book was designed by Lisa Murphy and is called 'Tactile Minds'.

It costs £150 and there are 17 images for people to touch including a woman in a disco pose and a man showing his six-pack. Founder Lisa Murphy, from Canada, spent two years putting it together.

Ms Murphy said that she made the book to fill a gap in the market, adding: "There are no books of tactile pictures of nudes for adults.

"We're breaking new ground. Playboy has an edition with Braille wording, but there are no pictures."

She said that she made the book after realising that the "blind have been left out in a culture saturated with sexual images".

Between 1970 and 1985 Playboy printed copies of its famous magazine in braille - but without raised pictures.
