Eyes Open Finish
Intensity level: Normal & Romantic
A standing rule for tonight: no closing eyes at the moment of climax. Both partners hold eye contact all the way through.
How to try this
Set the rule early in the evening: when either of you is about to finish, eyes stay open and locked on each other. No squeezing shut, no burying your face. It's harder than it sounds, so remind each other gently if someone starts to drift.
Why couples love this
Holding eye contact through an orgasm strips away every defense you have. It's one of the most vulnerable things you can do with another person, and the emotional rush that comes with it often surprises both partners, even couples who've been together for years.
