A hickey, also known as a love bite, is a bruise caused by sucking on the skin. Hickeys are often given as a sign of affection or sexual arousal, and can range in size from small and faint to large and dark. Although hickeys are generally harmless, they can be painful and embarrassing if they are not given properly.
There are a few things to keep in mind when giving a hickey. First, make sure that your partner is consenting and comfortable with receiving one. Second, choose a location that is relatively hidden, such as the neck, shoulder, or inner thigh. Third, start by gently sucking on the skin, and gradually increase the suction until you feel your partner’s skin begin to redden. Finally, release the suction slowly and gently to avoid causing any pain or bruising.
