Kissing- Eyes open or shut?

A friend of mine was just talking to me about how his girlfriend wanted him to close his eyes when they kissed(made out), I was like darn skippy you close your eyes, but then he asked me why, I had no REAL reason why, just thats how I do it any everyone I know. Soooooooooooooooo what about you all? How do you kiss?

Eyes closed, always. Dunno why, but that’s the way I like it.

Always closed

Shut. Open is just wrong.

Eyes closed, man. Seems to me to be an involuntary thing.

Either.

It depends on the type of kiss, location, etc.

It depends.

Lustful kissing, I’ll often keep my eyes open. I like what I see, you see. But even then, when on her mouth, my eyes are usually closed.

And the “tender” kiss, the one that says “you are so very precious to me…” is usually eyes closed, too.

I like to place my hand on her cheek, slowly lean in to her while smiling and keeping eye contact, until right before our lips touch and then our eyes both close, often just for a moment. Then, I look her in her eyes again, and slowly drop my hand from her face.

I just love the way that feels.

Which is probably why kissing is often done eyes closed. It’s the touch, not the sight, that matters in a kiss.

I kiss with my eyes closed for the most part, but during long, passionate kisses, I’ll open my eyes from time to time, and just look at her face while we kiss…then close them again.

Eyes Closed. It’s rude to stare.

I keep my own eyes closed shut in sort of a squinty way, but reach up and put my thumbs on his upper eyelashes to hold his peepers wide open. Dunno why - that’s just what “feels right” to me.

Open. That way you can keep an eye out for your wife.

Surely closed makes it easier to ‘tune in’ to the sensation?

Usually closed.

Huh. All these closed-eyed kissers, who woulda thunk it.

I open my eyes frequently, and love it when we make eye contact for those moments. Mmmm…nice.

Good kissing is a fairly new thing for me, so maybe I’m still a newbie at it.

Someone of the parties involved should take an ocassional look. Y’know, in case enemy agents are sneaking up on you :stuck_out_tongue: But seriously, it works just as well either way for me – maybe it’s just my attention-span problem catching up with me…

depends on what’s on the tube.

Open. Closed. Serious and deep. Playfully, even sort of half-way smiling.

Go for variation! Open eyes aren’t a problem if you like what you see. There is an eyeshutting reflex, I’ll admit, but always going in with your eyes closed is really missing out.

Usually closed, but if I’m in a playful mood, then I leave them open and kind of make goofy faces (not disgusted faces because I don’t think he’d like that).

During passionate kisses, my eyes sometimes open a bit to see him.

Closed, if for no other reason to keep them from bugging out like Don Knotts whenever something particularly enjoyable happens. :slight_smile:

Closed, always. No exceptions.
