Omg, my boyfriend stares at me when we have sex, I always think of the eye contact thing, cause when I glance at him his eyes are always so intense and I guess in some ways it makes me nervous so I close my eyes. Or when he glances down(from him being on top) I get really shy as - while I've gotten a lot better - I'm quite self conscious. But more than that, even when I would masturbate I close my eyes, given I'm fantasizing a lot more in masturbation, it seems awkward to have my eyes open unless I'm giving him oral or am on top. I must be missing some intimacy in sex... u.uWhen the power of love overcomes the love of power the world will know peace.

The rare times that we have sex, I like eyes open (perhaps it's to remember it for the long dry spell that is to come -*evil*)
I don't know, I like eyes open... I think it's more intimate. Like an actual connection. I find for me - when I can see my husband's eyes, and we look at each other, we sinc...
maybe it's also that I'm really bad visualizing someone else when we're making love.... (hmmm... new idea for me! *evil*) - it's just something that I like, and I guess something that he likes too.

I think it truly depends on the person. Some people go further into bliss if their eyes are closed, but that doesn't mean looking at you would ruin it for them either. (Well I hope not, anyway)
In my experience, during sex my bf and I will maintain eye contact as much as we can given it's a position that's possible in. It builds our passion and it lets us lean in to kiss too. But during oral sex, or hand jobs or something, I've noticed he likes to close his eyes. I think the reasoning for this is when we're having sex, he wants to be there with me every step of the way and make sure what he's doing is pleasing, and vice versa. When he is receiving a sexual favor however, he likes to sit back and enjoy it in his own world. I wouldn't be surprised if he was thinking about us having sex or something. I don't know, but personally it makes me happy to see him with his eyes closed, focusing only on what he's feeling. I think closing one's eyes during oral is a good thing, but if you're having sex and there is no eye contact then it's not as intense.

It's the same with me, I'm only 5' tall and my b/f is 6' tall so looking in each others eyes doesn't work very well, I'm bent over when we have sex anyway cause I'm to small to be laying under him..
I do look in his eyes when I'm on my knees giving him oral sex though, I'm not sure why but it's inportant to him that I look up at him while I'm doing that..Comment
