Ask Osho!

Why do wives often close their eyes during love-making?

Synthesized from Source outcome

"Close your eyes not to escape, but to embrace the joy of love, for in intimacy, let go of the ego and find the shared laughter that unites us."

According to Osho, it’s a playful jab: wives close their eyes because they can’t bear to see their husbands enjoying themselves. He uses humor to spotlight the everyday tug-of-war of egos in intimacy, nudging us to relax, laugh at ourselves, and drop possessiveness so love-making becomes a shared, conscious joy rather than a score-keeping contest.
It’s a joke—he says wives shut their eyes so they don’t have to watch husbands having fun, reminding us to lighten up and enjoy together.
Why this matters practically
- Use humor to defuse ego clashes in intimacy.
- Focus on shared pleasure, not competition or blame.
- Cultivate presence and playfulness to deepen connection.
