Is your preference for lights on/off during sex correlated with whether you keep your eyes open or closed at the dentist? How does this differ by gender? We surveyed 500 people on these topics. Psych PhD Chris Cole and cohost Joseph Tajaran discuss the results in this episode of Psych Papers.

Key Findings:

• People are generally split on whether they keep their eyes open (52%) or closed (48%) at the dentist. Men are slightly more likely to keep their eyes open than women.
• Most people prefer sex with the lights off (60%) compared to on (40%). Men are more likely to prefer sex with the lights on than women.
• People who close their eyes at the dentist are more likely to prefer sex with the lights off.
