It is too often, couples make love keeping their eyes closed and act as though they are in trance, missing out on all the stimulation possible through the eyes alone. But when couples do take the time to admire each other and make frequent eye contact, the eyes become vital organs.
Our visual sense whets our sexual appetite through exhibitionistic and voyeuristic type of activities. In the 1994 University of Chicago sex survey, the largest and most scientifically rigorous study of its kind, “watching my partner undress” unexpectedly turned out to be most people ‘s second favorite sex act, second only to intercourse and even more favored by both men and women than giving or receiving oral sex.
Nudity is generally not as a big a turn on as being in various stages of partial undress. Rather than undress for sex, it is often suggest people dress for sex. Lovers can then tease each other by exposing parts of their body or undergarments slowly and deliberately, by dancing erotically, and by assuming sexually explicit postures for one another. Fetishistic garments, such as traditional stiletto heels or rubber clothing or any object that a person has idiosyncratically invested with sexual value, may also be incorporated into sex play for visual effects.
Some couples enjoy the voyeuristic pleasures of watching sexually explicit videos together. Both men and women who enjoy pornography say that, not only is it turn on to watch sexually adventurous scenes of lovemaking, but when the material is respectful toward women and addresses female satisfaction, it can also be valuable sex education for adults, providing a kind of road map for uncharted territories of sexual pleasure.
