Look, normally eye don't object to ob-seen images, but it's damaging my vision...

I do this with my girlfriend sometimes. Not sure how it started, but once in a while now one of us says "hey, wanna touch eyes?" and then we touch eyes. It's actually not easy, you have to find the right angles.

An ex of mine would 'tickle me with her eyelashes'. Similar concept but no eye touching. Would've probably evolved into that had we stayed together. My other ex would look at me dramatically with one eye (as if recoiling from something shocking) then switch the eyes and moving closer too. Ended up with her deep in my face sometimes.

The first time I had a partner into BDSM, I learned that the instinct to protect the eye is extremely strong, so strong that even the suggestion of a threat to its safety has a visceral response. She used that instinct to good effect and I’ve used it with others since. Likewise a number of famous movie posters have used it to sell the experience of the film by simply photoshopping an insect near (or on) the conjunctiva in a closeup shot of an eye. It totally works. The mind is fascinating.

I don't get why neorotypics rave about making eye contact.

... I am a guy, and apparently I have significantly ... thicker, fuller, natural eyelashes than most.

Or at least this is what several (now ex) gfs have told me, over the course of my roughly two decades of dating... that they are actually jealous of them. One joked about me being an eyelash donor to her, ala being a kidney donor or something like that.

Also, several of them, independently, as in... different cities, they aren't in the same social group, come from significantly different backgrounds...

They would ask me to do what they called 'butterfly kisses' which is basically just fluttering your eyelashes together, at not quite as close as this range, but basically just 1 cm further back.

... Can anyone tell me if this is a thing that happens to other people, or has my life (and love life) just been very weird?

If you think butterfly kisses are weird, me and my friends actually touched eyeballs every now and then just like the image.

Being weird is fun lol

I am a guy and have been told my whole life that girls are sooooooo jealous of my eyelashes.

Yes, they want butterfly kisses. It's totally a thing

Butterfly kisses are a thing.

Ok, rhat's ... good...?

I've mentioned this to other people before over the years, and ... basically 99% of other people have never heard of this concept/practice.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

I've heard of butterfly kisses, done by one person to the other person's cheek or neck, it tickles. Reciprocal ones, lash to lash, is new to me.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

That's so sweet, it lets your eyelash mites and your partner's visit a new face!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

... and TIL about eyelash mites.

The cure for loneliness was staring us in the eyes all along!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 hours ago

I'm... I'm sorry clay. It's not your fault.

Our mites, they just... they're not compatible.

Corneal knowledge.

And here I was thinking I'd seen it all, god damnit.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 9 hours ago

What if we kissed with our corneas? Like, if we'd both bawl generating oxytocin rich tears we could swap them and both be happy

Conjunctivitis has entered the meme

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 hours ago

I always do this to make sure there's no little people operating the other person.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 9 hours ago (3 children)

This isn't real right? Right?!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 hours ago

I had a girlfriend who did this. It feels weird

[–] [email protected] 8 points 8 hours ago

This is the internet, you prolly don't really want to know.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 hours ago

It was passé when Man Ray did it.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Yes.

Where's the eye bleach?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago)

On my eye, here I can share a little 👁️

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 hours ago

I guess we just don't see eye to eye.
