When two people come very close to each other, not only does physical contact occur, but the emotional bond between them also becomes stronger. Especially when kissing, people forget about the whole world and get lost in that moment. At such a time, we lose all our senses and only listen to our minds. Closing our eyes while kissing is a very natural thing. Most people experience this, but no one pays much attention to why our eyes close while kissing?
In fact, when we close our eyes, we experience the moment more intensely. These moments take us away from the outside world and bring us closer to the person we love. This moment of love feels more magical when we step away from seeing, thinking, understanding, and just feel that feeling.
Helps to focus on emotions
When you kiss with your eyes closed, your mind feels those feelings more deeply. This makes the love feel more intense. Your heart is completely devoted to that moment. But have you ever wondered why this happens?
The heart has to experience.
According to Dr. Pranjal Agarwal (Director, Nirvana Institute of Mental Health and Allied Sciences, Lucknow), we experience the beautiful moments of life only with our eyes closed. When you love someone deeply and kiss them for the first time or repeatedly, your eyes automatically close. This is not a habit but a symbol of the darkness of that feeling. At that time, you look not with your eyes but with your heart – at that person, at that moment, at that relationship.
The outside world was dark.
Dr. Vipul Janardhan (Institute of Human Behavior and Allied Sciences, New Delhi) says that when we close our eyes while kissing, the outside world becomes blurry. At that moment, nothing else seems important. Then only “you and your partner” remain. In that special moment, we experience each other’s breath, touch, and the emotions that are expressed without words.
Happy hormones are released.
Closing your eyes while kissing is a sign of being fully immersed in the moment. It makes your partner feel closer. Kissing releases ‘happy hormones’, chemicals that create happiness, and this creates a stronger bond between the two of you.
Confirmed by research
Scientists at Royal Holloway, University of London, conducted a study on this topic. It was found that something does not feel very deep if we touch it with our eyes open. That is why, when two people kiss each other, they just seem to get lost in that moment. And that is why, the eyes automatically close. Closing the eyes while kissing is a sign of being involved in that moment. This allows us to experience emotions more deeply and deepen the relationship. Let’s find out why through research.
