It isn't very important to me...  I can get off either way and I think there are more important parts to a good bj.  I say it is probably safer to look for eye contact just in case though.  Also, I think the eye contact works best with dirty talk mixed in... but that could just be me.

I totally agree... while I like seeing her go at it, I don't need that continual visual of her looking into my eyes. I think it's something they do in porn so that the viewer feels a connection to the woman. In person there is already plenty of connection.
