In films, people climaxing always look stunning. They're all eyes closed, neck back, mouth slightly parted. In reality, we don't really look like that do we. We either look like we're in actual pain or we're trying really hard to stifle a fart. These 16 people get very real about what they think of their partner's orgasm face. I'm hard just thinking about it.

How orgasm faces differ between people from Eastern and Western cultures
The face you make when you have an orgasm may vary depending on the culture you come from, according to a study published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The research, led by Rachael Jack, a psychologist at the University of Glasgow in Scotland, also found that expressions of pain may be standard across cultures. Humans often use facial expressions to communicate social messages. However, previous studies suggested that people experiencing pain or orgasm—two very different and intense experiences—produced facial expressions that were virtually indistinguishable.
We don't always look pretty when we climax: during the peak of an orgasm over 92 per cent of people close their eyes, 67 per cent drop their jaws and 48 per cent frown according to a study that analysed people's sex faces. And according to researchers and sex experts, our facial expressions during orgasm can say a lot about our personality and sexual prowess - and of course whether we are really enjoying it or not. The 'eye squeeze' that Mila Kunis experiences after a raunchy session in the film Friends with Benefits is the most popular type of orgasm - only eight per cent of us keep our eyes open during the final moment. Sexperts say if someone climaxes with their eyes shut, they're very likely to be fantasising because they are able to focus on their imagination and block out everything else.
