A big part of adult movies is the audio aspect: the cheesy music, seductive innuendos, and of course, the moans. All of those things are missed out on by the deaf demographic, but perhaps not for much longer.
A new genre of naughty entertainment dubbed "deaf porn" caters specifically to those who are hard of hearing or have no audio senses at all. The first company to innovate for this category is Deaf Bunny (NSFW). It's deaf-owned, deaf-staffed and catered to the deaf.
"Through subtitles, sign language, cartoonish thought bubbles, full audio and blatant use of technology, anyone can understand the complex plot and tangled relationships portrayed in the company's first DVD release, Naughty Deaf Roommates," Wired explained.
