Let’s leave behind the fear of questioning ourselves about our intimate lives. It doesn’t matter if you have a boyfriend or are in an open relationship, when having sex, it is important to feel completely safe and complete to reach orgasm.
What does it mean if your partner closes his eyes when you have sex?
Many people may be uncomfortable with the fact that their partner closes their eyes during sex, causing multiple insecurities and contemplating the possibility that “love is over” or “she has a lover.” However, for your peace of mind, this is NOT necessarily a negative thing you should worry about.
According to a study carried out by a team of psychologists from Royal Holloway College, University of London (United Kingdom), who analyzed various visual and tactile sensory experiences, closing our eyes allows our brain to focus to enjoy the moment more. It is difficult for the mind to process an action if it is receiving a visual stimulus at the same time.
When we let go of some sense (sight, touch, smell), the others become more acute. In fact, this is one of the reasons why some couples have adopted the blindfold game before (or during sex).
«Closing out visual input leaves us with more mental resources available to focus on other aspects of our experience,» says psychologist Polly Dalton.
We can conclude that the reason why your partner closes his eyes during sex is exactly the same reason why we all do it during a kiss: to experience another level of pleasure.
