My guess is that people close their eyes to avoid random fluids squirting into them. ---

If my eyes are open I tend to wonder what color I should paint the ceiling. ---

Doing it with your eyes closed = masturbation sounds like something Bill Clinton would make up. “I did not have sexual relations with that woman, my eyes were closed the whole time.” ---

Dude, nothing that’s done during sex is wrong, as long as both parties (or all three) 😉 are cool with it. ---

I actually don’t recall the last time I have, but I can’t say what she’s doing – going over the shopping list, imagining she’s with someone attractive, who knows. In any case, there’s nothing wrong with fantasizing, as long as you don’t say the wrong name. ---

I would be bothered if I found that my partner was thinking of somebody else. But closing your eyes doesn’t mean that. It can also just be a concentration on the physical sensations, smells, touch, etc. To claim that all eye closing is avoidance of the real partner is ludicrous. ---

If I close my eyes, I can’t see the TV. Regards, Shodan ---

I think full on eye contact is awkward during sex. When I close my eyes it allows me to focus on the sensations and the taste/touch/smell of my partner’s skin. That being said, my partner keeps his eyes open and likes watching me enjoying the intimacy. I’ve imagined fantasies during sex. I don’t see anything wrong with it. If I wasn’t completely happy with my partner I wouldn’t be with them. It’s not related. Basically… Everyone is different. Surveys for this kind of stuff is pointless IMO.
