Most of the time my eyes are open during sex and so are Dh.

I find that I am able to accomplish much more with my eyes open than when they are shut. For example, it is nearly impossible to read with my eyes shut, difficult to get around in familiar places such as my home and way more difficult in unfamiliar places like the mall, etc. Sleeping, on the other hand, seems to go so much better with eyes closed; why is that, I wonder? :)

Oh, in regards to sex? Well, I have found that there is nothing - absolutely nothing - like those times when DW and I look directly into each others eyes during intercourse. The "connection" is so intense and the orgasms so much better...

Jackson, you left out one of the most important ones of all.

I could never sneeze with my eyes open.

Seriously though, I always orgasm with my eyes closed. I answered, "please explain", because of this. I'm not sure if the question was, "While having sex do you...", or, "While having an orgasm, do you..."

I would assume the question was about sex, no?

Typically, my eyes are open until I get close to orgasm, then they close. My DH seems to be the same.

We like the visuals of sex so for the most part, our eyes are open.

I keep my eyes open when dh adn I are facing each other (missionary, wot); I like to look him in the eye

Choose your friends by their character and your socks by their color.  Choosing your socks by their character makes no sense and choosing your friends by their color is unthinkable.

>>Driving with eyes shut is a bit difficult. <<

I think that it's quite the opposite. It's much easier to drive without having watch all that distracting stuff going on around you.

Westie,
I think there are some people around here that drive that way. How else can you explain them pulling out in front of something big, like a suburban? I guess they are operating on Auto-Pilot.
