Lights on. I need to see.
Reasonably well lit (but not too bright) when it’s sport sex.
Dark (or just one very dim candle) when it’s comfort, deep connection sex.
Generally, I’m a wee bit on the shy side, but I do like yag and ion laser light and high-intesity discharge search lights (moving in a criss-cross pattern) in the bedroom at times. I do, however, always keep my socks on. 
Under the soft glow of the Lava Lite, thanks.
<stereotypical guy> Lights on, lights off, it don’t matter; I’m gettin’ laid!
Seriously though, I prefer lights on. The only time I might want to turn the lights off would probably be because I was doing someone I shouldn’t be. Since I don’t make a habit of getting into bed with people I don’t find attractive or who would make me feel guilty, I’ve pretty much never wanted the lights off.
Whatever way it happens is fine. I prefer some light, but dark is all right too.
Either way is fine. I like looking at her body, what can I say… but at the same time, there is something really… close-feeling, when the lights are low. (Moonlight is always sort of fun… plus, that way, I can be absolutely sure she isn’t a werewolf.)
Lights, Action. Camera’s optional.
Seriously though, like YaWanna said, low light’s great. When the urge for a nooner hits, then we draws the curtains, which is nice, especially if youve got the kinda blinds or curtains that aren’t totally opaque, but filter most of the light out, giving the room a pre-dawn or twilight feel.
Basically, I want the room light enough to enjoy myself visually, but dark enough for us to be able to nap afterwards if we need to, without having to take the post-coital walk across the room to douse the lights.
What are we talking about? I’ll chance I know and agree with the low lighting, either a small lamp or sunlight through the curtains. Adds a degree of fuzziness to proceedings if you know what I mean.
Under the Strobe Light.
I like to just keep on that red lamp that all the hotels have.
I prefer the lights on - like a few other guys here, I like to see what I’m doing. That’s no big surprise - guys are generally pretty visual creatures. Lucky for me, my girlfriend’s the same way. She’s been known to complain if we start having sex in total (or near-total) darkness. God, I love her…
Hell, I’m a girl and I generally think what’s the difference, I’m getting laid. Darkness, low light and bright light all have their benefits. Why chose?
Agreed! Different situations call for different lighting… I rather enjoy low light, but full-on brightness is fun (early morning light is great) and total darkness is sexy, too.
Definitely lights on by preference. My gentleman friend is an attractive man, whether he believes it or not, and I enjoy looking at him. There’s also something to be said for a bit of making love at sunrise, letting things come more into focus and seeing the golden light bring out the gold in his skin. I’ll stop now, before I drive the blood sugar levels of some of the Teeming Millions too high.
At night also works, however. I agree with the folks who’ve said any sex is good sex.
Hey, posting’s not the only thing I do at the crack of dawn!
