As the times change, the concept of thinking has begun to develop. Although chat about sex is common among men, it is not uncommon when it comes to something personal, this chat becomes uncomfortable.

What's on a woman's mind during sex?
For women, sometimes, sex can feel 'confusing'. On the one hand, you want to feel comfortable, but while doing it so many thoughts go through, such as about your appearance, about whether he can help your partner reach the climax they expect. In fact, sex should provide pleasure and intimacy for both parties, not as a principle of exploiting one party alone. Currently, there are many wrong perceptions spread in society due to the influence of writing or pornographic films. Of course, we want the lovemaking session to run smoothly according to fantasy. But the fact is that the more stressed you are, the more difficult the road to climax.
A blackout might be one solution, with a limited view, you feel it would be very easy to do it. You can reduce your worries about body shape and appearance. When having sex, usually women will remove their makeup, or when wearing makeup, it may fade over time. The lights go out to cover it all.
Unfortunately, when it comes to sex, the guy is the visual type, he wants to see you completely. If, he's asking to look at your body, there's clearly interest behind the request. You may not realize that giving him access to your body is something he looks forward to.
What do men have in mind during sex?
Would having sex with the light on add to your intimacy? If so, of course you should understand when your partner is uncomfortable with the lights on.

There's nothing wrong with either, it's just a technical matter. However, when these rules of the game embarrass one of your partners, then it's time for the two of you to sit down and talk about it. It is important for women to tell your partner what makes you comfortable, so that intimacy will form. Men also need to pay attention to details about your partner, it can be started with the question of what he likes, what makes him interested in something, and more details. By paying attention to every detail, you are trying to build an even closer intimacy, this shows that you value him as a partner. Your partner's self-confidence will emerge by itself.
For those of you who are not used to it, maybe you can try it slowly, such as leaving the lighting dim, such as adjusting the light (only if your lamp can be adjusted), or replacing it with a candle. Don't forget to put the candle in a safe place. You can also try this one way, which is to wear a blindfold on the partner (a partner who always wants the light to go out when having sex), of course this will make the "game" even more challenging.
