Deaf Porn Gives Viewers an Eye-Opener
When was the last time you tuned in to the dialogue while watching porn? If you’re deaf or hard of hearing, maybe never.

Deaf Bunny (NSFW), the first deaf-owned and deaf-staffed porn company, launched in August with the mission of making porn accessible to deafies and their hearing partners in as many forms as possible.
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.
