I close them... mostly because my body isnt what it used to be and it depresses me to see it.

Both hubby and I close them, but I wish we would keep them open so we could enjoy the pleasure more

Nearly 80 percent of people enjoy kissing with their eyes closed. http://www.chatterbean.com/newsroom/Kissing_Quiz.php I lost my consciousness for several seconds when a girl kissed me. Well, kissing is a simple thing. Why should that happen? Beloved Kiss: This is the one where time stops, the world disappears, your thinking vanishes, and you become the kiss. You lose your thoughts, judgment and all reason; you form one body and live only for the other. This kiss is not for the faint hearted and definitely not for those just along for the ride. http://www.shesaid.com.au/article/2007/02/13/2464_ll.php "My first real kiss came in the ninth grade, and all I remember is feeling faint. Pretty wild stuff." http://thinklings.org/?post_category_id=16 http://www.enotalone.com/forum/showthread.php?t=147816 And, in all probabilities, you will go faint because the blood in your veins will be rushing furiously into your entire system... http://princegirls.com/kissing-tips/enjoy-the-thrills-of-kissing.shtml A Kiss relieves tension: ....our emotions and body language are so closely linked... your breathing becomes deeper and your eyes close when you kiss; that's what you do when you relax. It's a perfect way to shut out the world..." http://www.datingmatchmakers.com/kissing/benefits-of-kissing.aspx The excitement phase (also known as the arousal phase) is the first stage of the human sexual response cycle. It occurs as the result of any erotic physical or mental stimulation, such as kissing ... Among both sexes, the excitement phase results in an increase in heart rate (tachycardia), an increase in breathing rate, and a rise in blood pressure. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_sexual_response_cycle Kissing not only feels good on your lips and in your nether regions, smooching is actually beneficial to your health. As two tongues touch, nerve endings fire off messages to other parts of your body: various muscles clench, your lungs start to work harder and your lips swell (who needs Botox?), to name but a few. As your heart rate increases, your veins dilate and all that rushing blood can make you feel hot and sweaty. A French kiss requires the use of more than 30 facial muscles (bonjour!), toning your jaw and cheek, which in turn reduces the likelihood of sagging chops. http://www.thesatinpillow.com/html/did_you_know_.html Gradually, your heart rate increases. The neural cells in your brain begin releasing endorphins - those feel-good chemicals that give you a sense of euphoria as potent as a shot of 'morphine'. http://www.med.miami.edu/communications/som_news/index.asp?id=66 Anyone who has ever been kissed knows that the sensations involved aren't confined to the mouth. Your facial nerve carries impulses between your brain and the muscles and skin in your face and tongue. While you kiss, it carries messages from your lips, tongue and face to your brain to tell it what's going on. Your brain responds by ordering your body to produce: * Oxytocin, which helps people develop feelings of attachment, devotion and affection for one another * Dopamine, which plays a role in the brain's processing of emotions, pleasure and pain * Serotonin, which affects a person's mood and feelings * Adrenaline, which increases heart rate and plays a role in your body's fight-or-flight response When you kiss, these hormones and neurotransmitters rush through your body. Along with natural endorphins, they produce the euphoria most people feel during a good kiss. In addition, your heart rate increases and your blood vessels dilate, so your whole body receives more oxygen than it does when you're just standing around. http://people.howstuffworks.com/kissing.htm/printable Nearly 80% of people close their eyes when kissing. http://www.chatterbean.com/newsroom/Kissing_Quiz.php A living being requires adaptation to the changing conditions of external and internal environment. French physiologist Claude Bernard proposed the law of Homeostasis which states that constancy (or stability) of internal environment is a necessary condition for a living being. It uses its internal autonomous regulation systems to accomplish this task. It may be noted here that the very logic of 'constancy' prohibits development with time required for a living being. In feedback control systems of Electrical Engineering, existence of a negative component is a must, and it is used as feedback to obtain automatic control of a system. Accordingly, development (or growth) should be called a 'disturbance' (or deviation) of constancy, and it is programmed in the genes of a living being for continuation of the species. The law of deviation of Homeostasis was developed in 1979 by Soviet physiologist V.M. Dilman. [V.M. Dilman, The Grand Biological Clock, Mir Publishers, Moscow, 1989, p. 69 - 71]. Kissing is the first stage of physical intercourse that triggers the Deviation of Homeostasis mechanism. Mental pleasure is controlled by several body mechanisms. Body and mind are now being accepted as one unit called psycho-somatic system. http://www.search.com/search?q=psychosomatic

question:"why do women close their eyes during sex?" answer:"because they can't stand to see a man have a good time!"

I never close my eyes! I enjoy the sight of my cock coming in and out of a vagina! =)

I like to use all my senses.

i do sometimes and i had earplugs in once also, that was even better. SERIOUSLY!

I close my eyes when I'm kissing, not entirely sure why, but it feels wrong if they're open? When it comes to sex, I use to have my eyes closed. This was because I'd be having sex with someone I didn't care about, and seeing us engaged in this highly intimate act was uncomfortable (most of the time it was with people that I saw regularly, but rarely spoke to face to face and hardly knew). Now I'm in a relationship with someone I love wholeheartedly, I prefer to keep them open. It's a sign of trust and it helps me enjoy it more to see what effect I'm having on my man! So now the only time my eyes close during sex is that moment of complete and utter bliss..

I think that they wanted to be lost in heaven ,and they do not like to watch bedroom furniture,so they close thier eyes .
