eyes open during sex?

I was watching a TV programme the other day and the characters were talking about the importance of lovers keeping their eyes on eachother during sex. I suddenly thought, "oh crap"...I NEVER do this. I've been with my partner for 3 years. I figured we had an ok sex life...he's never complained but then again he's not the complaining type and he's not very open about sex in general. If I ever ask him if he wants something different or if he'd like to try anything new he says he's happy as things are. Our sex life isn't exactly hot-blooded passion but its...reliable...I always orgasm...but we're not ripping eachothers clothes off. Now I've got to thinking: is it weird that I keep my eyes closed? Of course I find my partner handsome and sexy but, I've got to be honest, during sex I'm lost in my own fantasies. So I tried to keep my eyes open last night, and it just felt weird! I definitely couldn't orgasm like that. I left them open for a few seconds but that was it. Anyone else have this problem?

A bit of both. Some times open. Sometimes not. Dh mostly doesn't.

I keep mine closed mostly. Not a conscious thing, but I do find it more sensual.

Eyes open as i like to see the reaction of my partner when reaching orgasm.
