[forthemod]It's not a poll, it's a sex question.[/forthemod]
I just can't keep my eyes open. I need to close my eyes to focus on how I feel. If I open my eyes, I get distracted, then my mind wanders, and pretty soon I'm completely out of the sex and disconnected from my body.
My BF is totally different, he hates to have the lights off, he's always looking. He says he's visually stimulated, and it's a big part of the sex for him.
I feel weird, with him staring and me with my eyes closed!
(I know it's probably not like that, but that's what I keep thinking!)

It depends. I can go either way but I'd say I generally prefer to have my eyes open, since the visual is such a big part of it for me.

Interesting.
I enjoy looking at my partner and often times my partner has her eyes closed. I never thought it would feel weird for my partner.
Why do I like to look at my partner?
I can see the emotions in her face with her eyes closed as I pound into her. I can actually gauge her on what strokes she likes and what times. I can tell when it hurts her, or when she likes it by reading the expression on her face, and I can also tell when a good time to pick up the pace is, because when I am fucking I want to make her cum, that is my goal. I try to cum when she does or very shortly after, another thing I can gauge by looking at my partners face AND by feeling her body. I have a certain amount of control over my orgasm when I am fucking. Sure I could just fuck her and cum as fast as I can, but that isn't pleasurable to me, I might as well jack if, the orgasms are stronger when I jack off. When I am fucking somebody I want to make her cum.
Now when I am getting a blowjob I prefer to have my eyes closed. I don't have any control of when I'm going to cum. With my eyes closed I think of many things aside from my partner sucking my cock or even my partner.
Then there is always the hardcore holy shit fuck fest which I really enjoy, but that involves taking my partner way over the edge and into multiple orgasms, not multiples in a row at once, but multiple orgasms before I cum. With that method I don't think she is even thinking much aside from "holy shit" and "I can't believe he did that to me." "Please do it again!"
Ah well, I like to fuck.

No, I keep my eyes open, except when I cum, then it's a sort of reflex action and they close without me thinking about it.
I've noticed just about all women close their eyes during penetration or when they're being licked. I'd prefer it if they don't, to quote Led Zepellin, "speak to me only with your eyes".
It's very hot to stair into your parnters eyes, to me, it shows complete trust, it's like you're bearing your emotions to each other.
BJ's with eye contact are amazing!

I keep my eyes open as i love the whole visual experience and the beauty of a woman's body,i do keep my eyes closed during kissing but when it comes to sex i hate the lights out but i guess if you or your partner are quite shy sexually then lights out gives you the chance to try all those naughty things that you might not do or even feel comfortable doing when the lights are on.

I'm not shy. There isn't anything (within reason - I'm not into murder or anything really outrageous) I wouldn't do with him. I don't care if the lights are on or off. Since my eyes are always closed, it's sort of all the same to me.
Considering the answers so far, I guess eyes open is usual.
I'm not going to open mine. Sex is terrible with my eyes open.

And sometimes they are just open.
Sometimes I realize I've been staring at a corner of the ceiling or something.

Ok, I love this question. For me, it really depends on how we are feeling at the time. If we are in fantasy world, talking all kinds of shit, fucking like crazy, it's open, closed, etc, like lindi said. If it's lovemaking, it's eyes. However, I can say that I have experienced what Kimi is talking about, but for me, right now, that only happens when I'm masturbating intensely.

The only times I've closed my eyes is to stop myself from cumming too quick. Or conversely, when things haven't gone too well I need a sensory get-out to deal with it.
Generally though, they stay open. For me, cutting senses, such as sight, is minimising the experience; visuals are a turn on.
[Edit: For the flood of semi-repressed memories that came flooding back, of times when I NEEDED to close my eyes]

Open, always open. My eyes are closed afterward, when we're cuddling.

Depends. Women over the age of 30 (and this applies to men, as well) often look pretty fucking freaky when they're on top, looking down at you with gravity pulling their faces down and blood engorging the veins around their eyes. Sometimes, it looks like their head's going to explode. I'd rather keep my eyes closed than face that horror. I'm sure women feel the same way sometimes. It's like, "Who the hell are you?" :)
Seriously, though...since we men are visual creatures, it's always eyes wide opened with stadium lighting. :)

^Funny, a tab of LSD can do the same thing to kids of all ages.
