I really hate this photo.
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.
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.
That's so sweet, it lets your eyelash mites and your partner's visit a new face!
... and TIL about eyelash mites.
The cure for loneliness was staring us in the eyes all along!
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.
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

This isn't real right? Right?!
It was passé when Man Ray did it.
This is the internet, you prolly don't really want to know.
I had a girlfriend who did this. It feels weird
Yes.
Where's the eye bleach?
On my eye, here I can share a little 👁️
I always do this to make sure there's no little people operating the other person.
I guess we just don't see eye to eye.
