Why sexy kissers keep their eyes closed
New York Post ^ | March 20 2016 | Lindsay Putnam

Closing your eyes while you kiss isn’t just romantic, it’s a necessity.

That’s the word from scientists in the UK who found that the reason so many lovebirds keep their peepers closed during intimate moments is that our brains are unable to process all the sensations at once.

“Shutting out the visual input leaves more mental resources to focus on other aspects of our experience,” the brainiacs say.

I was about to ping Jim and ask if your question was zot-worthy. I read the replies first, and laughed when I saw you asked the same thing.

I’ve decided not to turn you in, but you may wish to lie low. Some FReepers aren’t so tolerant!

Thanks ... I was starting to get worried about the Kitty in post #6 ... but my OP is sort of a half-serious/joke thing, it's a real article, from a real newspaper, and I'm always amused by reading about 'this study and that study' by unnamed 'scientists' who have just 'discovered' something which we all knew already from our own common sense.

The reason everybody doesn’t know LAZ anymore is that nobody pings him.

Same thing as getting busy in the dark.

Its all fun and games until someone gets their eye poked out.

I don’t think that kitty was a veiled threat. I’m pretty sure Viking Kitties always have their eyes open. Besides, I didn’t see any lightening. No, I think Doogle posted a rare on-topic photo, in this case the subject of a study on snot nose hair. Am I right?

I think I’ll do a study on how long it takes a serious thread to veer off topic, as compaired to a not so serious thread. I’m sure there must be government funds for such.

Duh!
When 2 people kiss with their eyes open, they go cross eyed.
Which is not sexy because: the girl will invariably burst out laughing, which causes the fellow to lose his—uh—motivation.
There. Now gimme some money.

People can’t kiss and chew gum and the same time?
