I can't have sex because I'm afraid of eye contact... has anyone else had this problem?

Question - (17 August 2009) 1 Answers - (Newest, 17 August 2009)
A male United States age 41-50, anonymous writes:

This is unusual problem to have, but I've only had sex a few times because of this, and I hated it. I can't make eye contact with the other person. For some reason I have very piercing intimidating eyes, it actually feels like people get scared when they look me eye to eye. For this reason, I try to avoid eye contact.

Now the problem I have, I can't have sex because of this. I just picture a scenario in my head where I have sex, the women's on top, and suddenly she starts screaming in terror when she makes eye contact, the same if I'm on top. I guess I think to myself, this person can read my mind by seeing through my eyes. I know they can't, but it feels like this. My eyes make people uncomfortable, I know this by their reactions, and I don't want to make people uncomfortable during sex so I don't bother with it anymore.

Does anybody else have similar problem to this?

lily13524 agony auntfirst,sometimes persons deal with the same thing you are going through,so don`t get to worried.If you are afraid of making eye contact when you are having sex,well you should try a next sex position in which you don`t really have to stare into the other person eyes.example doggy style.you and your sex partner don`t have to keep doing missionary every time because this position,you are more open to get eye contact.

~hope this helps and if it did please rate~
