See Why We Always Close Our Eyes When Kissing The Opposite Sex
It might seem weird to a lot of people who even do this because it just happens automatically.
It is how we have been trained — lean in, close your eyes and present your lips.
People normally close their eyes while kissing to allow the brain to properly focus on the task in hand, psychologists said.
A study on vision and tactile sensory experience at Royal Holloway, University of London, drew a conclusion that the brain finds it difficult to process another sense while also concentrating on the visual stimuli.
Kissing can also make us feel vulnerable or self-conscious and closing your eyes is one way of making yourself more relaxed.
It will be weird and spooky when you have wide-opened eyes looking directly at you at such a close distance for so many minutes.
When one of your five senses is blocked, the other senses are heightened in function; like the blind, the deaf or dumb. Whenever you close your eyes when kissing, your sense of touch that connects your lips is heightened. You concentrate on the sweetness of the lips only.
Closed-eye kissing is an ernest attempt at bringing up the feels and intensifying the intimacy of the encounter. So for more reasons than one, keeping your eyes open while you kiss can obstruct the interaction.
