Is it normal i feel awkward making eye contact during sex?

I don't know the real reason why, but it feels so weird when I am having sex (with a man) and we are just staring into each others eyes. I have made full eye contact communication with a guy I slept with once, and it was really nice because there was no awkwardness there. But all other times, when eye contact has been made it feels so awkward. Even when I was in a two year long relationship.
So is it normal?

    My boyfriend thinks it's awkward to! He has this whole "Don't look at my orgasm face." Thing going on. I think it's the best part lol But I don't push, to each their own, right?

    I like getting nose to nose then kinda de-focusing,,, and your partner's eyes merge into one large one,, like a cyclopse. Amuses me. Little things, little minds n all. :-)

    It is normal, if you are shy :) But try to make more fun in bed... be relaxed, be crazy... make eye contact, say dirty stuff...

    • Who says I don't already do that?! Just because I don't make eye contact often during sex doesn't mean I'm led there stiff as a board, quiet as a mouse.

    So you're comfortable smashing your genitals together, but not making eye contact? :p

    if your a guy, making intense eye-contact is a power thing and would turn a woman on and also make her feel dominated

    Well, you made eye contact with one guy and enjoyed it so my question is did you ever think maybe you're just not that into the others and that's why you can't make eye contact?

    • That is true.
      I liked him A LOT. Shame he doesn't feel the same way about me :(

        Hang in there and guard your heart. Regardless of how some guy feels or what he says there ain't no rush to get it on before you get to know someone and see if ya'll really dig each other or not.

          It is also nice when a woman looks you in the eye while she is going down on your cock.

  • I can't remember looking them in the eyes during sex so I'm not sure.

    I like to see their eyes bug out when I throat fuck them, does that count?

    I also love the gurgling, spluttering noises, is that weird or do other people here get turned on by this because I REALLY love it.

    I only make direct eye contact with other people when I'm in a really bad mood, apart from that I almost never look people in the eye.

    I feel exactly the same way, and I don't know why! I have been married for 5 and a half years, and I love my husband dearly. We will lay in bed and kiss, and stare into each other's eyes for hours. But when it comes to sex, I just feel weird about eye contact.

    It's more intimate when you look into someone's eyes while making love, you're just probably not ready for a lot of that stuff yet. Casual sex is a thing and you can do whatever you want but if you're not comfortable then maybe you should re-think some things.

    I love making eye contact. it gives me more joy while looking at my partner is enjoying too. At the last I would quote that “Love begins from the eyes and end between the thighs”.

    It's normal, but if you're comfortable letting the guy see you naked, a few minutes of eye contact should be the least of your worries.
    Also if it helps I knew a man who held my head up when I tried to look away from him and he smiled and said how he liked eyes. And that was during kissing, not sex

    Locking eyes whilst having sex and watching each other's expressions is a real turn on, it would feel more awkward looking away!

    It's normal. People make such weird faces during sex. It takes a lot of trust and comfort with a person to allow them to see you in that state, or to feel comfortable watching them. If you're shy, that can make it even more awkward. If you don't feel comfortable, you can just close your eyes or do something else to avoid eye contact, like kissing the person's neck.

    If you're in love, it's easy and it isn't awkward. Otherwise, I think it would be a bit strange.
