We payed particular attention to describing EVERY last detail...
ie not just 'im touching my panties' but what the felt like, that they were silky, the fact that she had just bought them, where she got them from, how it felt to be juicing up and 'spoiling' her new panties, that she hoped that no one was going to walk in to the room and catch her... etc etc...

she also told a couple of stories of her frst lesbian experience etc, but again, she went into a ridiculouse amount of detail, about the room, what they were both wearing, what the fabrics felt like as they undressed each other, what order they did it in, how the other girls pussy tasted, felt, smelt like... etc etc...

but throughout the recordings she never made references to colours or anything visual...

Anyway, we then advertised it in different places online, mostly on forums regarding the visually impared and disabilty help groups etc... We invited them to send a sae to a postal box adress with a ten dollar bill inside, and we would pop in the cd and return it by the same post...

I was working on the principle that if you are blind, have become blind, or are very visually impaered... Then how do you 'get your porn'?

Magazines are useless, DVDs are useless, normal porn sites are useless etc etc... So I looked into whatelse was availble... In 2002 there were tree companeys as far as i could tell... One was doing the same thing, but very expensive.
Another offered a message from your fave pornstar... Again very expensive, but apperntly how it worked was that they would simply contact the pornstar you had requested, and ask her to record a message... again, very expensive, and the downside was the chosen porngirl would say no...

finally a third company offere recordings called 'sally' 'chelsea' 'julie' etc, but if you ordered 'sally' you just got a bloke talking about how he had met a girl called sally and fuckjed her...

Thats why i tought... Hmmm... |Opening here. Get the CD recorded: Cost Zero
then due the CDs as needed Cost 18Cents a CD...

So, with that in mind, I figured id give it a go...
In the first week we sold 178 CDs, but the thing was that my wife and I were having problems, and with all the other things going on at the time, we never followed tru and continued advertising them or made any more...

But that was 2002, things have changed, but YES I Know that there is a market... I was going to start it up in the 05's when i bought www.HearWithMe.com (I wish you were 'here/hear with me...) But I never went any further... Infact the name expired in march and someone else now owns it...

Not because of the lack of potential, but simply becausr, I am no longer with my wife, and frankly, I just cant be bothered to do it all again...

Hope someone finds my experience in this field of some use
You should relook into that market - massive opportunity nowadays. No need for CDs anymore - A lot of people with seeing/hearing disabilities buy Apple computers because Apple have built in Universal Access into their OS (if you have a Mac, open up system prefs, and play with 'Universal Access') and it helps enormously those with visual or hearing impairments to finally use a computer. Because it is tied into the OS, things like iTunes work amazingly well with these features turned on.

Hence, blind or visually impaired people ARE using the internet, subscribing to podcast, reading books (spoken books) - what they're not getting is their porn. Get a HQ podcast going and you'll be laughing all the way to the bank...
