Why do women like to close their eyes during sex?

I believe many people have discovered that when men and women have sex, most women prefer to close their eyes rather than open them, while men prefer to keep their eyes open. So why do women like to close their eyes during sex?

During sexual intercourse, there must be some differences between men and women. Men like to turn on the lights, but 99% of women like to turn off the lights or dim them. Men like to keep their eyes open, but women like to close their eyes... Even though there are various differences in the ways, it cannot be denied that both parties are engaged in sex. Men like to look at women with their eyes open not only for visual pleasure, but more importantly to observe the expressions on women's faces and their reactions, so as to infer and determine whether their actions are effective, and to get psychological satisfaction and spiritual pleasure from it.

Women like to close their eyes

Especially when enjoying sexual life and feeling pleasure, they will close their eyes unconsciously. Of course, they will open their eyes occasionally, and for a period of time after reaching the climax, they are still unwilling to open their eyes. Does this mean that women do not actually enjoy sexual life? Not satisfied with men's performance? Are they not as involved in the sexual life of a couple as men? In fact, there is a whole new mystery when a woman has sex with her eyes closed.

First of all, I believe that in most couples’ lives, men are in a dominant position. In addition to exerting physical effort, they also need to observe women’s performance so that they can adjust their movements and behaviors at any time. Relatively speaking, the responsibilities borne by women during the sexual life of a couple become much smaller. This also allows women to focus more on psychological activities, experience and enjoy sexual feelings, and of course they will be able to have a better experience when they close their eyes.

During sexual intercourse, women's mental activities never stop for a moment. The content of their imagination is not completely unrelated to the ongoing sexual intercourse, but since it is imagination, it will not be an objective repetition of reality, but rather a beautification of reality. For example, when the environment during sex is not good, they can imagine that they are under the blue sky and white clouds; when the partner's actions are not ideal, they can imagine that they are fascinated by those actions; when they are in a bad mood during sex, they can imagine that they are in a very good mood; they can even imagine that they have been extremely satisfied when the sexual experience is average.

Closing their eyes can help them better immerse themselves in their imagination.

When they are carrying out these mental activities, everything becomes more beautiful, and closing their eyes allows them to better immerse themselves in their imagination. The imagination is so beautiful, but once you open your eyes, reality comes back and the gap becomes even bigger. So why should you let the beauty that you have worked so hard to build be destroyed?

After all, such mental imagination is actually a fantasy of married life and a way to achieve a higher quality married life. The life of a couple is colorful, and sexual imagination is a behavior encouraged by experts. At the same time, the imagination can be made a little more bizarre, exaggerated, and unreal, such as imagining that you are having sex with a favorite star, or imagining that you are in a novel or TV plot. These imaginations only exist in our own minds. In our imagination, the other person always has an alluring charm.

Research on the lives of couples has confirmed that the more bizarre and unreal the sexual fantasy is, the smaller the negative impact it will produce; the more real the sexual fantasy is, the greater the threat it will pose to the real sexual partner. For example, you can imagine yourself having sex with a movie star, but you cannot imagine yourself having sex with your friends, colleagues, etc. This is definitely a dangerous signal.
