According to a study, when men view women having sex, they look at their faces first and linger there longer than on any other area of their anatomies. Researchers speculate that a guy may focus on your face because he's looking for affirmation - your expressions register an honest, visible measure of whether his touches are arousing you and, possibly if you're having orgasm.
