I Want to See Your Face is a m/m slash trope. It is, perhaps, an older trope.
Two male characters are about to have penetrative anal sex for the first time. The assumed position is front to back, or from behind. One of the two men tells the other he'd rather have them do it while facing each other, saying "I want to see your face/your eyes."
Psychological Insight?
The phrase may reflect a desire for intimacy and the fact that a lot of m/m slash is written by women, and is a trope of slash rather than mainstream gay erotica.
