Many people turn off the lights before sex. But, what psychological reasons can be responsible for this? Let's know about it in detail-
Switching off the lights during sex: Does your partner also like to have sex by turning off the lights? Does your partner turn off the lights during sex? If yes, then many psychological reasons can be responsible for this. Sex is a very personal and sensitive experience. In this, the emotions, self-confidence and mental state of both the partners play an important role. Many people want to see the facial expressions of their partner during sex and want to have a complete experience. But, there are many people who are able to enjoy sex more properly in the dark. That is, they do not like to have sex in the light. The reason for this can be embarrassment. Or they do not feel comfortable being completely exposed in front of their partner. Apart from this, there can be many such reasons, due to which your partner can turn off the lights during sex. Let us know about the psychological reasons behind this from Dr. Chandni Tugnait, Founder, Director and Psychiatrist of Gateway of Healing-
Shame or insecurity about the body
Many people are not fully confident about their body. They feel insecure about their body. They feel that their partner can judge them by looking at a particular part of their body. In such a situation, they often prefer to turn off the lights before having sex. They do not feel scared in the dark and they are able to relax and enjoy.
Fear of not being able to be completely open
Many times a person is not able to be completely open with his partner. In such a situation, he may feel shy during sex in the light. Because of this, they feel hesitant. If sex is done with the light on, then it reveals their weaknesses. In such a situation, they like to enjoy sex in the dark.
Fear of performance
Many times a person is not confident about his performance. They feel that the partner in front will judge their performance. Or will see their facial expressions, in such a situation they may feel embarrassed. Or there is pressure to perform better. In such a situation, if sex is done in the dark, then the pressure reduces a little.
Effect of previous experiences
Many times the effect of previous experiences also affects the present life of a person. If someone has ever trolled or body shamed them about their body, then this fear settles in their mind. In such a situation, turning on the light can be a trigger for them. In the light, they can remember their earlier experiences. Whereas, in the dark, old experiences are not remembered and they feel more comfortable.
Hiding emotions
Many people like to experience sex not only physically but also mentally and emotionally. In such a situation, they may hesitate to show their feelings openly in the light. They can easily hide their feelings by closing their life.
