Couples share why they prefer lights on during sex

Here are honest reasons why

Many couples like to get intimate with the lights turned out, mainly because they're not too comfortable undressing in bright lights and feel less self-conscious in the dark. But, there are partners who prefer sex with the lights on even if dim. We got 5 couples to share their reasons for the same and here is what they have to say.

2/6

What’s there to hide?

“My wife and I love each other irrespective of our shape and we like seeing each other while making love. She never cared about the lights and made me confident about my body too, so we don’t care about the lights, but lights on is better for us.”

3/6

I like to see what I am doing

"My wife likes delicate and precise touches in specific hot spots. This makes me want to have sex with the lights turned on for the simple fact that I can see what I'm doing to her in all the right ways. And of course, when I touch her all too well, I love looking at her getting all the pleasure."

4/6

It is safer

“My boyfriend and I are very particular about using protection while having sex. We make sure there are no nicks in the condom. Also, my boyfriend lives on his own so I like to make sure everything is clean and in place around me. I don’t like bumping into a shoe or a smelly sock while having sex.”

5/6

We both can’t see without specs

“With specs on, we always start laughing after a while and plus we do not want to break them or the momentum. So my partner and I like to switch on the lights and take off our specs as that enables us to have some idea. It sounds very funny I know, but lights are a blessing for us”

6/6

Expressions matter to me a lot

"Getting turned on is different for different people. And for me, I get way too turned on when I can see my lover's expressions while I am doing things to him. If I can see his face, it's clearer to me what I'm doing is right."
