Why Do People Close Their Eyes When Kissing?

Haha, idk. Seems like it would be weird to look someone dead in the eye like that.

And what happens if some how there is face slippage and your eye ball gets licked. Lol. I don't know why I find that so funny but it's all good. x D

 

Well...I can't say why really but from my one and only experience kissing a friend of mine in truth or dare, I had my eyes open and well I already do have issues with making eye contact with people but seeing her face so close up I just started laughing. So...I don't really have any answers but if it helps support the reliability of what happened when you tried it there it is xD.

 

I know that I do it so that I can savour the sensations more.

With my eyes open I think too much.

Also it seems somehow... I dunno... Impolite to have open eyes.

 

I've never thought about it until now. And can't really give a reason why. Its just the way things happen.

 

Well...it kinda hurts your eyes to see someone that close. xD

Plus it's all ~romantic~.

 

I don't know...I don't have trouble doing it, but...maybe it's cause I can make eye contact with people without problem. But, it may be because you don't think more, or perhaps it just relaxes your body more. I know it is way more relaxing with your eyes closed.

 

Also shows a certain level of trust as you are pretty vulnerable there. Doing it with your eyes open would be like asking "You going to punch me in the face?"

 

Think about when you want to experience something well. Like enjoy the smell of some homemade bread, for instance, or enjoy a nice song on the stereo at home. Placement is important. You lean down close to the bread, sure, but you don't actually put your nose ON the bread. And you might get closer to the speakers, but you don't put your ear up against them. When you get too close, it interferes with our ability to fully enjoy things. Kissing someone puts you in the right spot to enjoy them tactilely, but you're a bit too close to truly enjoying them visually.

Secondly, again, imagine savoring the aroma of the fresh-baked bread. Don't you picture yourself leaning close and inhaling deeply...with your eyes closed? Why is that? Because it eliminates distractions. It lets us focus on the sense we're most interested in. Why just eye closing, instead of shutting down other senses, too? Because we can actively shut down our visual sense (by closing our eyes), but not the others (we have to stick our fingers in our ears).

The added benefit of 'his' eyes being closed, is he can't see what your hands are doing, until its too late :evil:

 

It gets weird to be stared at during the act. But usually I leave my eyes open whilst his are shut and I just look around

 

i guess it's more sensual?

ive seen couples before where one has their eyes open,the other doesnt,its creepy
just thought i'd add that in

 

I just do. XD
It's like a reflex. It'd be awkward for me to open my eyes...I'd probably laugh, cause people look funny kissing with their eyes open, their eyes go all wide. XD

 

wouldnt you look a bit cross eyed too?
duno what you'd be looking at that close tbh

 

Trees, Fireworks (at a firework display), the river, christmas lights, sunset, clouds, animals, people.. everything really

 

we're missing so much :eusa_doh: lol

 

becuz that way u can really enjoy the moment!!!!
i'd laugh too if i kissed someone with my eyes wide open lol

 

so they don't have to look at the other person

 

lol, why would you be kissing them then?
