Blind People's Love/Sexuality

[~ P O L A R I S ~]

So I've been thinking... (You've been warned.)

 

Love and sexuality are labyrinths enough for us optic-capable folk, how do you suppose a blind person would handle them? This raises other questions. I threw around some that came to mind below:

 

-If a blind person tried to make a move on you, how would you respond? Could you love a blind person? Would you be curious?

 

-Being blind is supposed to heighten the other senses. Would blind people's eternal boosts in their other sensory faculties would make them better at making love, or would they just stumble around not being able to locate anything?

 

-How do the blind decide what their sexual orientations are? Do you think they're more likely to throw gender aside without vision to emphasize characteristics associated with femininity or masculinity?

 

-How do you feel about the idea of making love blindfolded?

 

-Do you know any blind people? If so, how do they address this issue?

 

You don't have to answer any of those, any thoughts regarding the matter would be appreciated. I somehow thought this topic very fitting for YCM, so why the hell not right?

 

Get at me!

:( I guess a lot of us can't share much input into this kind of topic lol

 

-If a blind person tried to make a move on you, how would you respond? Could you love a blind person? Would you be curious?

I haven't had a relationship with a blind person before but I'm sure as long as there's attraction, there shouldn't be a problem. It'd just be something different than what I'm used to

 

-Being blind is supposed to heighten the other senses. Would blind people's eternal boosts in their other sensory faculties would make them better at making love, or would they just stumble around not being able to locate anything?

Their climaxes would probably be much more enjoyable (heightened sense of touch?). Also, I imagine you'd have to lead more

 

-How do the blind decide what their sexual orientations are? Do you think they're more likely to throw gender aside without vision to emphasize characteristics associated with femininity or masculinity?

That's a good question that I don't have the brain to answer lol.. We know that sight's not the only factor of attraction though so I'm sure it doesn't play too much of a major role

 

-How do you feel about the idea of making love blindfolded?

I imagine there would also be a heightened sense of touch in this scenario, which would explain why some people try this out. I personally haven't but it sounds hot lol. Other arousing factors in place of sight could be scent, voice, etc

 

-Do you know any blind people? If so, how do they address this issue?

I don't at the moment but I'll be sure to strike up this topic in conversation when I meet a blind person, then I'll come back here :)

-If a blind person tried to make a move on you, how would you respond? Could you love a blind person? Would you be curious?

Depends on the person really. If they're someone I could be attracted to, then I'd try dating them, sure.

-Being blind is supposed to heighten the other senses. Would blind people's eternal boosts in their other sensory faculties would make them better at making love, or would they just stumble around not being able to locate anything?

I imagine their first time would be just as awkward as any other person's. If anything, they have a better excuse for their inexperience >.>
Once they get used to it though, I think they could be just as good as anyone else. Touch is really the major factor in sex, above anything.

-How do the blind decide what their sexual orientations are? Do you think they're more likely to throw gender aside without vision to emphasize characteristics associated with femininity or masculinity?

If they were blind from birth, then I would say that's a much stronger possibility. I'd say they'd have a good sense of masculine and feminine features since there's no reason they wouldn't.

And I don't know a blind person, but I'd be happy if one decided to date me. They wouldn't be dating me for my sexyass face, but for who I am. And there's nothing more uplifting than that.
(of course everyone should date someone for who they are and not just their face, but it's nice to know they won't leave me when I turn 40)

-How do you feel about the idea of making love blindfolded?

Better that than a whip.

Irrelevant. Depends on my attraction to the person on the whole as they currently are.

People's ability in the bedroom is determined on experience, so a blind veteran could very easily trounce a virgin. Of course there are always exceptions to the rule.
 
-How do the blind decide what their sexual orientations are? Do you think they're more likely to throw gender aside without vision to emphasize characteristics associated with femininity or masculinity?

Experience/Social Influence are the only things I could perceive to affect a blind person's sexual orientation and how influenced they are by said concepts.
 
-How do you feel about the idea of making love blindfolded?
It amplifies other senses, what is not to love? 

-Do you know any blind people? If so, how do they address this issue?
All the above are answers my blind aunt told me, on my father's side. She has a husband to help her. Apparently she thinks that there's nothing quite as intimate as him putting on her make-up (which he is quite good at.)
