The Orgasm Face: People Reveal What It’s Like To Watch Their Partner Climax

NSFW question of the day: how does seeing your partner’s face during orgasm make you feel? Turned on? Proud? A little bit closer to them? Conversely, how do you feel about having your partner watch you during climax? Embarrassed? Giggly? A little bit... closer to them? One woman recently turned to Reddit to ask users the same questions. "Does anybody else feel bonded to their SO after watching them c*m?" she inquired. "Or does it feel meh, or something else?” Naturally, we took a peak at the responses, rounding up our favorites for you down below.

User “xPestilence_x.” “That [his orgasm face], and the noises he makes right before he c*ms, is my favourite part of sex. Occasionally I'll just think of the face and noises he makes and I'm instantly turned on. Absolutely love it. <3 Unfortunately, we rarely ever actually have sex facing each other (usually doggystyle or spooning)... but when we do, it makes for a treat."

User “HotCougarNerd.” "When I was younger it used to make me very uncomfortable to have my partner see my face or see theirs during an orgasm. I guess the only way to describe it is that it felt like they were intruding on me and I on them, despite the fact that oh hey, part of your body is actually INSIDE OF ME! I am no therapist but I think it had a lot to do with wanting to keep emotional distance - we all want to protect ourselves in some way and I think that was mine.

As I've gotten older, I've pushed past it because I have found that having that raw emotional vulnerability in the context of a healthy relationship really takes sex to the next level. Looking at my partner when I come or vice versa makes me come even harder and I get this great feeling of warmth and safety. Very intense and extremely pleasurable!"

User “SoFetchBetch.” "Haha I couldn't finish if my partner was looking at my face when I was younger so I let my hair fall in front of it to get there. Now I have no problem. For me it was confidence, and more specifically being self conscious. I became conscious of my actions when I felt them looking at my expressions and that made me lose focus. But now I have no problem focusing on what I'm feeling, and on how theyre feeling. I actually like them checking me out, it makes me feel good and I tend to play it up for their enjoyment. I guess practice makes perfect. :)"

User “Likewhaat.” "I used to really love it, thought it was so sexy and intimate, but a few days ago I watched a standup comedienne make a joke about how a guy's face when he orgasms looks like he just got bitten by, and is turning into, a zombie. Now I can't get that out if my head when I see my fella c*m, and it cracks me up :D"

User “Allwoman.” "Watching his face as he c*ms is So So good! I don't often get to see it because of positions (doggie etc) but I try to. I keep having flashbacks of a recent session of missionary which felt particularly intimate and watching his face as he came made me c*m again. It's a huge turn on seeing his face contort involuntarily from pure pleasure...I love it and wish I could see it everytime."

Anonymous. "I have with some partners and no with others. The most intense feeling of intimacy I've felt was a spin off of this. I had gotten together with an ex boyfriend and we ended up I bed. We were kissing and fooling around but then he pulled back and was just looking into my eyes while I stroked his body all over. He kept whispering variations of how beautiful I was and suddenly he came. We we're looking deeply into each others eyes at the time and only physical contact between us was the soft stroking of his body by me. The look of exquisite pleasure on his face while he came will be something I take to my dying day."
