I think all you need to do is not put strong emphasis on the looking
at your partner aspect.  Something like: "dosido your neighbor.  Now
dosido your neighbor again, but time do it while looking at your
partner."  A simple "while looking at your partner" takes no stand on
whether one should stare at one's partner to the exclusion of everyone
else in the world, and I think no stand is needed.
