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 sex, there must be some differences in the performance of 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 open their eyes, 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 they are enjoying sex 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 orgasm, they are still reluctant to open their eyes. Does this mean that women do not actually enjoy sex? Are they not satisfied with men's performance? Are they not as involved in the sexual process as men? In fact, there is another mystery behind women having sex with their eyes closed.

First of all, I believe that in most sexual lives, men are in the dominant position. In addition to exerting physical strength, they also need to observe the performance of women so that they can adjust their movements and behaviors at any time. Relatively speaking, the responsibility women bear during sexual life becomes 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 life, but since it is imagination, it will not be an objective repetition of reality, but more of a beautification of reality. For example, when the environment is not good during sex, they can imagine that they are under the blue sky and white clouds; when the partner's movements are not ideal, they can imagine that they are fascinated by those movements; 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.

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 you have built with great difficulty be destroyed?

After all, such mental imagination is actually a sexual fantasy and a way to have a higher quality sex life. Sex life 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.

Sexual research has confirmed that the more bizarre and unreal the sexual fantasy is, the less adverse effects 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.
