Make eye contact during intercourse.

If your significant other’s pupils are wide open, then try to look at them to check if they’re dilated. If your partner’s pupils dilate, this means they are excited, which also shows how they’re feeling. If your partner has his or her eyes tightly shut and you feel a weird tension, especially in the neck and shoulders area, then it might mean that your partner is quite anxious or doesn’t want to be intimate with you.

Bear in mind that it’s alright if the eyes are closed at times during intercourse. However, you want to notice if your significant other takes time to look into your eyes.

  1. Great information. However, one thing was ignored or missed probably because the time of when this was written, but I don’t think cell phone usage should be ignored.

    1. Yes, cell phone usage is absolutely a part of body language.

      At best, it’s simply due to screen addiction.

      At worst, it means the person’s phone content is more interesting and important to them than their partner, and/or it’s their escape from a partner they’re no longer interested in or feel connected to for whatever their reasons are.

    2. It absolutely DOES!! If someone spends all their time looking at the phone while with you, they’re OBVIOUSLY not with you!!!

  2. Wake up Dave, cell phone usage has everything to do with body language. These devices have
    taken control of this generation affecting every part your life. Any person who ignores the spouse
    and family while wasting time on the phone is a fool.

  3. I agree with Sherri. When somebody is on their cell they are saying the other person is not important that the phone is more important. First off that in itself is a rude habit, end of story…

    1. Thank you!! You are validating my frustration. My husband ignores me and gets angry when I ask him at 2:30 am to turn it off!

  4. Cell phones are a part of “body language”? Odd. What part of the body is the phone? Should I make sure the physician examines my phone as a part of my next annual physicals?

    1. “Objects” (like cell phones) can become a crucial part of body language and should be ignored…especially if your partner is hurling one at you!

  5. Cell phone usage while ignoring a person is rude and inconsiderate and impolite. It is about etiquette not body language.

    1. Just below the first paragraph, on the left, is a line of numbers. These page numbers to be clicked on. Try it.

  6. When my partner would go to the bathroom while using her phone, is her way of seeking privacy. She always puts the screen down when not using her phone. She won’t show me her photos. She whispers a lot while using her mobile. Here’s the biggest one: I can hear a man whispering to her while I’m on the phone with her and she whispers back. They eventually will be together intimately during the phone call.

  7. Some other body language: eyes rolling upward; mouth in a pout; clenched fist; fingers like claws; searching for cutlery in the kitchen…
