When getting frisky and then heading to sex what amount of light is most wanted by you? Heavy lighting with several lamps on, dim lighting like with a few candles or 1 lamp, no lighting because you prefer it to be dark or does it matter?
For the most part, I like there to be just enough light that we can visually enjoy each others bodies and connect through eye contact. The occasional total dark romp can be hot especially for anonymity or some role play or fantasy fun (you be Angelina, I'll be Brad. Bright lighting doesn't do it for me in my personal life. Reminds me of being on set at a porn shoot.
2 candles lit..I like a soft but visable lightness in the room..able to see each other and every bit of our bodies..but not full on spotlights
Both of these. Sometimes there is no time to mess with lighting. Sometimes you just need to rip each other's clothies off. But if I get to set the scene, some dim lighting is my preference. Candelight, firelight, a warm light bulb. And as I'm getting older - dim lighting makes me look better! :biggrin1:
Very subtle ambient light is nice as it often accentuates bodily contours rarely paid attention to in full-lighting. I also find it makes things a bit erotic, because something such as the blue hue cast by a winters moonlight is just something so very different. :smile:
I like full lighting, because then I can see the whole body, and all the details. Many prefer dim lightning because then they can hide, but what's the point of sex if you can't get turned on by each other's bodies? The visual sense is very important during sex IMO. At least I want to see the body in full lightning first, and then move to dim lightning, but I want to at least get an impression of what the body looks like before I have sex with said person.
I think dim is good! Bright enough to still see, but still mysteriously sexy enough for you to want to find your way around their body with touch.
lighting is something i've never even considered until now... i don't think i have a preference...i like being able to see what i'm doing, but i also like it in the dark...so there it is...no preference...just gimme the sex!
I prefer full lighting. Day light, lamp, overhead light, fireplace/several candles and one other source of light all work for me, but I like to see - everthing. Only like the dark if there's a reason for it, such as we are outside at night, club/event, car, or some other dark venue. Otherwise, light please! :smile:
Agreed. I'm not talking about a spotlight, but I love his body and want to see every inch of it... including our expressions, looking into each other's eyes, or watching as he slips in and out of me. Guess I am a very visual lady.
I prefer to dine, bathe and make love by candle light. Nothing else gilds, flatters or softens wet, sweaty or even dry skin as well as the golden light emitted from bee's wax candles.
Guess it depends mostly on the mood and atmosphere. Sometimes lighting doesn't really matter, unless of course its the blinding pornstar/obgyn/welcome to the windows vs mac commercial type lighting cause that will kill it faster than hellboy at a Monsters inc office party. The best lighting for me (and this might sound like complete crap) is moon light through a window on a cool summer night.
