I close my eyes when i climax

I'm a woman and I close my eyes. I didn't realize I did that until my boyfriend asked me if he looked weird. It's not like that at all. I just do it naturally. I tried keeping my eyes open the other night while we were having sex and I think I looked bug-eyed. Anyone else do this?

    NO, when I climax I look at my partner straight in the eyes and hold a emotionless face.
    It's the best.

    I usually have my eyes closed (on average) about 80%% of the way, because it feels really good, and also, I close my eyes to envision how it looks from behind, thoughts like that make my already wonderful climax all the better. I envision him thrusting in and out of me and then when he cums, I roll my eyes back in my head, grip onto him, with my arms criss-cross across his back and apply pressure onto the small of his back, that he cums hard, and get that "full feeling" LoL...amusing, but totally true, try it sometime, if you don't already (Holds her thumbs up!!)

    hehe. I think most people close their eyes when they have an orgasm. It helps cut out all other distractions and you can totally focus on the explosion of pleasure.

    I'm a guy, and I have to close my eyes when I orgasm. It's like sneezing.

    Here's a little exercise for you. Put your arms around him with your noses touching and stare into each other's eyes. It's weird. You'll each look like you have only one big eye. Open your eyes really wide. Blink. Do it until you crack each other up. Do it often. Sooner or later you'll be able to revel in the bizarre faces you each make during orgasm, and that's a pretty fun time. Don't miss out! Enjoy! :-)

    Yea, it' totally normal...or at least I think it is. I close my eyes all the time, especially when I climax. My husband wants me to look at him, but I think that would be weird...plus I can't hel it when I close my eyes. It just happens.

    I'm a guy, and I do this. It's a natural reaction for me, so i'm going to assume it's 100%% normal.

    I am a woman and when I climax my eyes are forced shut. Just like when you are tired and your eyes shut by themselves. Its your body's natural response to the orgasm. Its no different then if you scratch or bite or squeeze your legs around your partner. Its the natural response to the orgasm. Its perfectly natural to close your eyes during climax. Its just your body's reaction, some people experience different things. But you are normal.

    I normally keep my eyes open especially when masturbating because I like to see where my Cum goes, but if I'm having sex I sometimes close my eyes.

    same thing here

    what I want to know is why do we do that ?
    is the brain just too busy to keep the eyes opened and focused and analyzing what is going on ?

    also @Sedgar18
    that is pure comedic gold

    Normal, at least in my eyes. The intensity of an orgasm in itself leads a lot of people to close their eyes. A little fantasizing there as well.

    It probably just feels better to you with your eyes shut. Nothing wrong

    It looks who answered close their eyes. I have used Tantra like disciplines to cultivate powerful orgasms which manifest as, maybe 4 or 5 minutes of multiple orgasms. My eyes are closed before because I am feeling how it builds. Then I begin to open them, and there is a technique that comes from ritual sex where offer my whole being to it, like surrender to it, and when it starts it is washing down into me and through me and my eyes are open and I just project it through screaming while I am staring into my partners eyes. If it doesn't kill them they keep asking are we do it again, when can we do it again?
    I have always been loud, oh but there is so much more come out.
    In France we call orgasm Jouir which means rejoice. Why call it anything else?

    Well sweetheart, the only thing I can say is, it's not normal! Woman who close their eyes during climax (aka Orgasm), usally aren't really feeling it. When a woman looks the man in the eye, she tell him in her mind that she can handle anything! If you close your eyes, he'll think, "Oh she's such a wuse and is easy!" You don't want him to think your, *Easy*! Let him know that you are stronge too and can't take control of every little thing he can give to you, especially when it comes to climaxing! So sister, it's not normal becuase it shows your weak! BE STRONG!

    Love,
