do you make love in the dark? or do you prefer a clear view of the action?

i know. who cares about the lights when you're getting it on, right? LOL! but if given a choice, i like it softly lit. not much light, which can be unromantic, and not too dark that we end up fumbling about in the darkness. but a better choice would be several candles in the room, which takes up more preparation but sets me in the mood for the action and arouses my senses better. perfect because it allows us to see each other while covering minor flaws. after giving birth, i am not too confident about doing it under the bright lights (but of course, during the day you can't do anything about it:p). so how do you prefer it? on? off? or dimmed?

I prefer, like you, dimly lit. Just enough to see, but not enough to see flaws. On the other hand, we can't really control it sometimes cuz if we feel like making love, we do it right then and don't worry about how the other looks. LOL We've been married for 4 years and he knows it's not what's on the outside that makes me me, it's my ability to make him feel good! (in more ways than one ;o)

I'm with you. I prefer to have it softly lit. I don't like it in the dark, and alothough I like it better in bright light than dark, I'm not crazy of intense lighting either. I like it when you can see your partner clearly, but there are shadows playing on their skin from the subdued lighting.

can I just say that the lights from the monitor make up for it all lights turned off, we would not want the kids to see what mommy and daddy's play is all about.

Lights or dim lights, candlelight is the best, but it is not a rule. It would be awkward under the blanket or in the darkness... But in some occasions that's the only way!:)

clear view is the best for me, because if its dark, I can't see her beautiful face and her sexy body.

It really doesn't matter to me but if it is night time and the lights are off then usually the T.V. is on. My husband and I always laugh because if the room is completely dark then we are fumbling all over the place.

As most of men do, I prefer a clear view of the action and the beauty of body which let me more excited, it seems never enough to see the beauty of body.

of course i would not want to c anything and be in pitch dark. This will add more fun to the excitement and makes us wonder more. Im sure once in a while we will just turn on the lights but if we turn off the lights instead, the experience will be much better

I have never made love in the dark, but I guess that it might add a bit of passion as it is different. It would awaken senses that would not normally be awakened as much during making love.

Lights on. I like to see the actionas you put it and seeing the pleasure expressed in my woman's face tells me when I am doing things right and when she is building and reaching her peak.

Well it doesnt matter to me if they are off or on. I figure it this way, it feels the same either way..lol. I already know what the person looks like, and i know how to find everything so lights arent a necessity...but if they are on, well thats fine too.

I have a lamp in my room that is touch sensor. I touch It once that gives off just enough light for what we need. I also like to see what I'm doing.

Lights off please! Oh well, you don't really have to see it but feel it. That is the human instinct to know where and how it goes. Dim moments for me are more romantic - I could feel it.
