I couldn't find a thread about this so I figured I'd start one to assuage my curiosity...


When you kiss your lovers, do you kiss them with your eyes open?

I used to kiss my lovers with my eyes open, but I had a few people tell me they thought it was weird or they were distracted by it, so I mostly keep my eyes closed these days. What about you?

I switch back and forth open eyes or closed. It just depends on what I'm feeling. The more intense I feel the more my eyes tend to stay open.

Eyes closed allows me to concentrate on their being.

I miss it terribly.

I do a little bit of both, I think it depends on the situation.

Depends on the kiss. Sometimes I open my eyes, sometimes I let myself close them.

I always feel really weird if I'm trying to kiss with my eyes open, like I'm supposed to be looking at something, but all I can see are his eyelids, lol

Lol - Im the same. Kinda creepy being that close if ya open ya eyes to find them staring back. I always have eyes closed... just more comfy.

It depends on my frame of mind. Sometimes I like to watch my partner and I enjoy when he watches me back. Sometimes I am so into it my eyes are closed and I am all about his lips.

Depends on what were into at the moment. I really love it when my fiance leaves kisses all over, in the strangest places that you never thought kisses would end up. Its very sweet.
Over all My eyes are probably closed from bliss.

I'm usually a closed-eye person, but sometimes I do keep them open. My boyfriend is a complete eyes-open type, so I've caught him staring quite a few times.

Generally I close my eyes. But sometimes, I open them to find my man looking back at me, which can be a bit creepy cuz it's so close, LOL.

i close my eyes, but sometimes when im feeling silly, i'll open them really wide and cross my eyes and hope my husband will open his eyes for just a second to see me- and he always does!

I usually keep my eyes closed and my husband teases me 'cause he keeps his open.

I used to always keep my eyes closed, but that I was curious about what my boyfriend looked like when we kissed so I started leaving them open. I've kind of gotten addicted to it. I love the way he looks. <3

Closed for me- less distraction that way.

Closed about 99.9% of the time, even with just a quick hello/goodbye peck. At least, I think I close my eyes for a peck.

Now I'm gonna be all thinking about it.

My eyes are usually closed, but occasionally they'll be open. It's not really a conscious thing for me at all.

I like to keep my eyes closed during a passionate kiss. My eyes stay open if it's just a peck.
