The sexual awakening can occur later for blind people. One of the facts is due to the barrier of reading body language, facial expressions, vibes etc. that can be difficult within the flirtation of foreplay. Blindness within the Bible is often described as something which should be cured and used as an image of stupidity, disobedience and ignorance.
