How to give a hickey?

Giving a hickey, also called a love bite, is essentially creating a small bruise on the skin by sucking on it. Here's a step-by-step guide, keeping it safe and consensual:

1. Ensure Consent​

Talk About It: Make sure the other person is comfortable with receiving a hickey.
Hickeys are visible and may last for several days, so confirm they're okay with that.

2. Choose the Right Spot​

Soft, Sensitive Areas: Common areas include the neck, collarbone, or shoulder.
Avoid Visible Areas (If Desired): If the person does not want it to show, choose a place that can be covered by clothing.

3. Prep the Skin​

Ensure the area is clean and free from lotions or oils to prevent irritation.

4. Create the Hickey​

Place Your Lips on the Skin:
Form an "O" shape with your lips and push them against the skin.
Do not use your teeth; you are to suck, not bite.
Suck Gently:
Use gentle suction for 20–30 seconds. Too much pressure can be painful or even damage the skin.
Increase suction gradually if the person is comfortable.
Use a Twisting Motion (Optional):
You can twist your lips slightly while sucking to make the mark more intense.

5. Check In​

Check in with your partner periodically to ensure they are comfortable and enjoying it.

6. Aftercare​

The hickey may appear red initially and gradually darken over some hours.
Use a cold compress on the region if it aches afterward
More Tips
Hickeys are caused by broken capillaries under the skin. Avoid overdoing it since your partner is sensitive.
Bruise easily, or has any skin condition then avoid giving hickeys.
