Are you like these? Believe it or not, even my friends would say that people really tend to close their eyes when being kissed. And to tell you guys, this is what I noticed also when I am being kissed my bf!(that was before the break-up). Well this is just not that interesting topic but I still want to find out why we tend to close our eyes when we are being kissed? How about you?

I believe it has a lot to do with trust. If you really like the person you are kissing and you trust them you close your eyes. If you ever kiss anyone you aren't "in to" and don't really trust, you won't close your eyes.

I think aside from making the act more intense, it is also instinct for people to close their eyes while kissing. Maybe subconsciously, people know keeping their eyes open would make the other person lose their momentum or be conscious of the way they kiss.

Hi my friend, I notice the same thing too. I tend to close my eyes when I kiss my hubby. I do occasionally open my eyes and notice my hubby has his eyes closed to. I have no answer for the question as to why we do it. lol Happy MyLotting, Char

If you don't close your eyes, then you'd get cross-eyed looking at your boyfriend's face just an inch away from your face. That's just how the eye works whenever something gets too close.

hi dear..I believe that most people are of a visual nature. Our minds tend to focus on whatever our eyes see. I believe that closing our eyes, although it is basically instinctive, allows us to lessen outside distractions and allows us to become more in tune with the current situation. I believe that this occurs on an emotional, a physical, and an intellectual level..hope this explains..
