Why do guys want to have sex with the light on?

I was getting ready to sleep with my friend and he gets out of bed and turns the light on. I didn't want to be that girl so I didn't say anything about it. Then when afterwards I went to use the restroom and he starts turning all the lights on in the house. I know it sounds dumb but I've never been naked in front of someone with all the lights on before and it was awkward for me.

You hear guys talk about it. So what is the big deal for you for lights vs no lights?

  • I know that I'm a very visual guy and I prefer to see what I'm playing with. I'm assuming that other guys feel the same way here, but at the same time, I think that women almost uniformly always want the lights off or even low. To me, sex has a lot to do with imagination and visual stimuli. While I think that both partners should be comfortable, I think that shutting that off sort of works against the relationship.

  • He wants to see you. Guys are visual. The whole porn industry is based on that. This is proof he has a higher opinion of your body than you do.
    Enjoy!

  • We like to see how you look at different times and in, er, different situations! It makes things more exciting.

  • Lemme put it this way.
    You go to a 3 star michelin restaurant , you'll want to at least see what you're eating so you can appreciate the beauty of it all no :P

  • Visuals improve sex.

  • guys are much more visual, they like to see

  • Lights on to see the action, lights off to sleep.
    But I usually use dim light.
    But turning all the lights on the house is freakin weird.

    • LoL he did that after not during. I personally didn't find it weird just awkward.

  • If I just wanna ejaculate I can masturbate lol. Body shape, smelling of skin, licking parts and e. t. c. You need lights on for them 😆

  • We like to see everything.
    Sounds to me you're not ready to have sex.

    • I would understand your second response if my question was how do you get pregnant or he touched my boob is that normal but I don't how you came to that conclusion from my question.

    • Bc you say you're not comfortable him seeing you naked. It looks to me you first get comfortable with each others bodys before getting this intimate. Like take a shower together and explore each other. Ie wash each other. Or even shave him. Face and lower regions. Let him wash your hair. Whatever. You'll see you'll have a lot of more fun building the tension like that. It takes a level of maturity though. If you're only want to have sex by sneeking under the sheets with the lights out so you won't have to see anything you're not ready in my opinion.

    • I respect that.

  • We are visual creatures.

  • we want to see you naked duh we're visual creatures

  • Because we want to look at you.

  • maybe he dont know where to stick it in

    • Not quite. First time he turned the lights on, not our first time.

    • Maybe he like to see what he's doing

    • also it is important to see the body and face of the one having sex with it makes it good

  • Too see the body.

  • We are visual creatures

  • Seeing her is an additional turn on

  • I personally like to have a dim lights so i would look at her shy red apple face which i enjoy alots :x

  • Because seeing the woman is a HUGE turn on for us. Her body, her reactions, her touching us. ALl of it. It's like 40% of the enjoyment, honestly.

  • I prefer it dark. Some guys may need the visual, though.

  • they want to see what they are fucking

  • What a WASTE it wold be to make love to a beautiful woman and not be able to see her!

    • Imagine trying to enjoy porn with your eyes closed.

    • Touche

  • We're very visual. And ESPECIALLY if the girl is hot--particularly with a hot body--we want to see it!
