A lot of couples choose to have sex in the dark because it adds a bit of mystery and can be sensually stimulating in a lot of ways. If you however regularly find out that you or your partner prefer to have sex under the dark, it may be a pointer towards the fact that either one of you or your partner is cheating the other person off some serious mind-blowing sex.

A myth has been around for a while that men get visually oriented during sex but same actually applies to women too, according to a research conducted by sex therapist Dr Ian Kerner. Not being able to look at your partner in the face during sex means that you’re lacking a lot of sensory stimulation that comes with sex with light on.

When you turn the lights on during sex, you’re exposing your self and your desires to your partner which gives them the opportunity to to know and trust you better. Asides the fact that you learn how much your body stimulates erotic passion in them, the situation is also very sexy simply because you can make eye contact with them and watch how they react to the pleasure you’re giving them.
