Eye contact is a very challenging concept for many people–especially during sex. However as Dr. Kat Van Kirk points out, maintaining that connection is important for relationships.
Personally, I think it is also important for pleasure. Kat notes the fear and shame people have about their orgasm face, worrying about exposing themselves in that way. But I am with all of those who find great enjoyment in seeing pleasure on my partners faces.
But back to the original point: eye contact is really hard for some people. I am all over it when it cones to sex but if everyday life…not so much. I would love to find a better balance!
