Have you ever experienced that kind of feeling when your crush or someone you love looks you in the eyes? Did it create a pleasant, almost heaven kind of sensation?<\/span><\/p>\n Did it make you look away because you are overwhelmed by that feeling? Those were the power of eye contact.<\/span><\/p>\n According to brain <\/span>experts<\/span><\/a>, eye contact has the power to stimulate a simple chemical reaction in the brain. When you look someone in the eyes, you are producing a chemical called phenylethylamine.<\/span><\/p>\n It is a chemical responsible for inducing excitement conducive to <\/span>falling in love<\/span><\/a>. Take note of this love-inducing chemical as you continue reading this article. <\/span><\/p>\n As much as eye contact creates a positive reaction, avoiding eye contact generates a negative feeling for the recipient. Avoiding eye contact means that you are not interested in what the other person is telling you.<\/span><\/p>\n On the other hand, it may also indicate shyness or embarrassment. Nevertheless, there are situations where avoiding eye contact is helpful, like, for example, toward a stranger or in other cultures where eye contact is prohibited.<\/span><\/p>\n Also, if you are not yet ready to be intimate during a date, you must avoid eye contact because doing so may induce you to further physical intimacy. Intense eye contact may lead to <\/span>low sexual intimacy<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n It may sound and look like it, but not necessarily. The absence of eye contact is not the ultimate basis for love.<\/span><\/p>\n Although there is a saying that true love is seen through the eyes, we also have what we call an unconscious lack of eye contact.<\/span><\/p>\n Some people are not aware, or they are not used to making eye contact for several reasons.<\/span><\/p>\n If intense <\/span>eye contact between a man and a woman<\/b> induces <\/span>sexual arousal<\/span><\/a>, why do we close our eyes when we kiss?<\/span><\/p>\n Before we go deeper into the benefits of <\/span>eye contact during intimacy<\/b>, let us first unlock the varied reasons why in the first place, we close our eyes during sex.<\/span><\/p>\n It is an instinct to close our eyes when our partner kisses us. This is because we want to savor the feeling and focus on what is happening at hand? Or is there a more scientific reason for this so-called “closing the eyes phenomenon?”<\/span><\/p>\n According to a recent <\/span>study<\/span><\/a> conducted by Polly Dalton and Sandra Murphy, people close their eyes when they kiss because the brain cannot fully appreciate the physical sensation when distracted by the visual.<\/span><\/p>\n It makes sense; it is like focusing on one purpose at a time. Therefore, this is the reason why we close our eyes during sex. Does this mean that <\/span>kissing with your eyes open<\/b> lessens the sensation one feels during intimacy?<\/span><\/p>\n There are varied personal reasons why individuals avoid eye contact during intimate physical intercourse. According to a sex therapist, <\/span>Vanessa Martin<\/span><\/a>, eye contact can make people <\/span>vulnerable<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n To others, making eye contact means seeing through them their true feelings, fears, <\/span>insecurities<\/span><\/a>, and even whatever they hide within themselves. People feel naked, and that creates a sense of discomfort.<\/span><\/p>\n Moreover, people who are easily distracted by even a bit of movement, sounds, or visuals choose to close their eyes to maintain focus at the moment at hand.<\/span><\/p>\n These may be valid reasons, but sex therapists recommend <\/span>looking into your partner’s eyes<\/b><\/a> when making love is something one needs to get used to. This is because there are benefits of eye contact during sex.<\/span><\/p>\n When a man looks into your eyes while making love, it creates a different kind of bond that cannot be expressed in words.<\/span><\/p>\n Let me quote someone when she said that eye contact during sex was the ultimate closeness she had ever experienced. She noted that it was one of the most sensual things she had ever experienced.<\/span><\/p>\n She further elaborated that their eyes met her, and her insecurity melted away and gave in total surrender. Aren’t these things worth trying with our partner?<\/span><\/p>\n Aside from this narrative, there are several reasons why couples should engage in eye contact during lovemaking.<\/span><\/p>\n We need to make eye contact during sex because of the following reasons:<\/p>\n By making eye contact during your most intimate moment, you are revealing yourself to your partner. You are establishing a <\/span>trustworthy relationship<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n You can also find out through eye contact how your partner reveals himself wholly to you.<\/span><\/p>\n Although some exhibit unintentional lack of eye contact for lack of awareness or out of habit. But be wary of intentional lack of eye contact, like avoiding looking at you straight in the eye.<\/span><\/p>\n Lack of eye contact may indicate nervousness, guilty feelings, or dishonesty. If this always happens, you should be wary; this can be a red flag.<\/span><\/p>\n Looking at your partner’s <\/span>eyes during lovemaking shows interest<\/span><\/a>. It boosts your partner’s feelings, affirming he is worthy of your interest and love.<\/span><\/p>\n It proves that you are paying attention and are responding to his every move.<\/span><\/p>\n When you look your partner in the eyes, it delivers a certain kind of confidence to your partner.<\/span><\/p>\n Locking your eyes with your partner shows that you are in total surrender, allowing your partner to peek into the windows of your soul.<\/span><\/p>\n This kind of surrender boosts both your confidence in each other and strengthens the bond you have.<\/span><\/p>\n According to <\/span>Linda De Villers<\/span><\/a>, a notable sex therapist, a powerful arousal trigger is connected to your partner, making you feel desired.<\/span><\/p>\n This connectedness can only happen when you maintain a good amount of eye contact. <\/span><\/p>\n Like what’s mentioned earlier in this article, sustaining eye contact for at least a minute or two causes the brain to produce phenylethylamine, a chemical responsible for falling in love.<\/span><\/p>\n When your brain begins to produce phenylethylamine, there is a heightened feeling of pleasure, a heart-racing sensation that can make you forget your name.<\/span><\/p>\n Phenylethylamine, known as PEA, is a natural amphetamine that makes one feel high. PEA also stimulates the release of dopamine, a chemical that can also add to the feeling of love and excitement.<\/span><\/p>\n So, to increase excitement in your <\/span>lovemaking<\/span><\/a>, start them off with eye contact.<\/span><\/p>\n To know more about the importance of eye contact, watch this video:<\/em><\/span>When not to make eye contact?<\/span><\/h2>\n
