Eye contact during foreplay?

I didn't know where else to post this so here goes, I have been seeing someone for a while and it's like we are friends, but with benefits, today one thing led to another and I was giving him a blow job - he wanted me to look at him whilst he was having an orgasm, I have been thinking about this none stop now because to me it felt very much like it was very intimate for 'friends' 🙈🤷‍♀️ is this what most guys do? Or does it mean something? 🤔

I would look too much into this. It's intimate, yes but not necessarily in a romantic way. It just happens to be what he likes (and how they usually do it in porn)

This is something that men find very sexually attractive during such activities..I couldn't tell you why!!

I have had a relationship of 4 years in the past and he didn't like eye contact, I do really like this guy I have been seeing, it's just he says we are friends but I kind of feel like he thinks more of me than just a friend to want to look into my eyes, I just wanted some opinions

If he's saying you're just friends, and unless he's trying to hang out with you all the time and talking about you to/introducing you to friends and family then he doesn't see you as anything more. Don't take his desire for eye contact during a blow job as a secret sign that he wants you to be his girlfriend.

Don't fall into the trap of taking crumbs from someone whom you like more than they like you. All you're doing is making yourself practically and emotionally unavailable to someone who could be a great match.

Eye contact when giving a blow job is very much a stimulating porn type thing, it shows them you're into it & turns them on more, nothing to do with intimacy in a romantic sense.

Absolutely correct.

My FWB is a filthy bastard and he always orders me to look at him when I'm giving him a blow job. He deffo doesn't love me 😀

Firsttimemum120 · 09/11/2024 14:03

This is so strange 😂really strange you’re overthinking something sooo bad.

you literally are doing sexual things and your over thinking eye contact.

man up and if it’s really that hard for you to cope with don’t do it ever again.

This thread is all shades of grim..

Cosycover · 09/11/2024 14:16

You're clutching at straws here.

If he wanted to be more than FWB then you would be already.

You should stop seeing him before you get very hurt.

99IceCream99 · 09/11/2024 16:10

Its a turn on doesn't mean he loves you 😝

ElleintheWoods · 09/11/2024 16:32

Eye contact during a bj is a well known kink/ turn-on for many people.

I would never think of this as related to emotional intimacy.

LL1991 · 09/11/2024 16:35

Sound very much like something he’s seen in. P*rn and wanted to try maybe? I’ve been with my husband for nearly 17 years and I don’t think I’ve ever stared him in the eye during a blowie - let me focus on the job in hand 😂😂😅

How so? Because it discusses (shock horror) sex?

Imperrysmum · 09/11/2024 18:44

He just wants to recreate porn, you aren’t special

Sounds like you have feelings for him that go deeper than just sex and are trying to gage if he does too? Why don't you just ask him? Don't have sex on the hope it will make him start wanting you, casual sex is hurtful if there's feelings involved.

Opentooffers · 09/11/2024 19:11

Unfortunately because you like him, it looks like you are trying too hard to hope for signs he might feel the same. His want for you to be watching him is not a sign of intimacy, it's most likely a thing that turns him on in the moment.
Signs of being more than friends are taking you out on dates, doing things for you, like cooking, PDA's, and most importantly, acknowledging that you are a GF. That he is still saying you are a friend is most telling. Did he say from the start he just wanted fwb, or has he changed the goalposts? We're you trying to be cool with it, just because you liked him? - always a bad idea. Once you catch the feels for a fwb, you should always end it. If he felt the same, he'd tell you on being ditched - that's how you find out. Sticking around and giving him BJ's with eye contact in the hope he changes his mind, is demeaning yourself and going to make you more upset when it does end.

Best stay away from the Sex topic then....

SunshineSteve · 11/11/2024 22:59

As others have said, I think it’s just a turn on for him and that’s it. He wants you to look up at him so he can see if you’re enjoying it too, maybe wanting a cheeky grin as you’re doing it but beyond that you’re just reading too much into it.

Freethebees · 11/11/2024 23:06

Its a power thing. And you say foreplay but mean when he jizzes.

MidnightMusing5 · 11/11/2024 23:32

Oral sex massively increases risk of cancer and is on a steep rise 🤢 . Google it . Just putting that out there incase you don’t know 😊

teenmaw · 11/11/2024 23:43

Do not be lulled into a sense of emotion from this man during a blow job. Been there, it means absolutely nothing. If he likes you he'll show that in other ways like affection, thoughtful gestures, acts of service, etc. sounds like time to check out before you get hurt to me!

Oh gosh op. 'He says we are friends' ... but you like him. Please stop fucking him.

The wanting you to look (presumably, to look UP) at him during this act is because it makes you look submissive. The reason it feels too intimate, is because it puts you in a position of submission. It devalues you. It wouldn't with a partner who loves you. But it does with someone who, probably knows you want more from him but is telling you 'no, but you can still suck my dick'. He's getting a kick out of knowing he can treat you however he likes. He gets a kick from feeling like he is dominating you.

It will never be more than what it is now. And he's not a nice man. Stop shagging him. He's belittling you.

Edited

This x100.

He wants you to feel submissive. Nothing to do with intimacy

This..
