Related, my colleague during undergrad was convinced biophotons (light produced by our own cells - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biophoton ) had a legitimate communication function. I still think about that time to time!


Take this with a grain of salt, but I dated a woman whose face (particularly the eyes) seemed to glow during sex in a dark room. I brought it up with her several times and she dismissed it as if I was making it up. It’s possible that the light foundation and makeup (she wore almost none) was reflecting light in some way, but I seriously doubt it.

Edit: turns out it is a real phenomenon in the literature

I’ll take it with a kilogram of salt lol. Unless you were in a literal zero photon environment, fluorescence and hallucination are more believable explanations lol.


Reflection could even be the answer. The eye is a lense


Agreed, but here’s the thing: it’s never happened before with any of my other partners. Only her, and the room was pitch black. And yes, I was sober. She glowed in the dark. I can’t explain it. The room had blackout curtains. There was no visible light which is why it still haunts me.


Did you have a device which detected visible light? Because there still may be small amounts of light even if we think there is none


You are lucky, the other dudes she dated got melted by her eye lasers.

Pile of dust, missing person report, no fuss no muss.


I have seen something similar, brought on apparently by warmth. I've no possible clue as to the mechanism. The eyes did appear to glow though.

Edit: it was the iris that 'glowed', not the pupil.


She's a Cylon!


That sounds incredible tbh. Wish mine did that, can you imagine going Super Saiyan?!


I'm forced to take this with a grain of salt because, historically, people on HN have been admitting to psychedelic drug use much too often. ;D


Top tip: drugs wear of quickish and we, if sensible, spend only a small proportion of time dosed up :-)


People CAN lose the lights in their eyes.
