A Swedish artist, who created a braille book which aiming to offer "sexual stimulation" to blind and visually impaired readers, for the first time on Tuesday presented a copy of the book to the National Library of Sweden.

A creation of Nina Linde, the book includes "both braille text and tactile illustrations of sexual encounters", The Local reported.

One of the scenes illustrated in the book, according to the report, is of "an image of a woman wearing a strap-on and a picture of five people having sex with each other."

"It is a story about a couple trying out different sex positions. You can start at any page, and get some inspiration," Linde told Metro.

Though the book was published in 2010, Linde only recently gave a copy of the book to the country's national library.

"The book is about sexual stimulation, I don’t think 'porn' is the right word. And sexual stimulation is for everyone," Linde told The Local.

The book depicts sexual acts not only between men and women, but also involving gays and lesbians.

Linde told The Local that she hit upon the idea of creating a book on sexual stimulation for the blind and visually impaired after visiting the Braille Library in Stockholm.

"I discovered that there is no porn or dirty stuff at all for the visually impaired. Everyone needs some sexual stimulation," she said.

Hakan Thomsson, president of the National Federation of the Visually Impaired, told Metro, "I think that some imagine that we have no sexuality, which is not true. Visually impaired people are just as sexual as any other".
