Hickies!

    Do you like to give/receive hickies? What is it you like about them? Is it something that you should grow out of or is there always a place for a durty bruise on someone's neck? Personally I don't think I've ever given a girl a hicky, and since my neck was destroyed one time I haven't been too keen on getting them either.
    Thoughts ladies? (lads?)

    (Also try and keep the smut level to 15's yeah? Don't want this kicked over to s&s where I won't be able to read it)

    Apparently the neck is one of those 'soft spots'.
    Pretty much everyone I've.. asked on the subject seemed to like it.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,165 ✭✭✭✭brianthebard


    Sure but is a hicky too much or just right?

    just have done the one to the missus by accident, don't see the big deal with em. If I got one I'd wear a scarf, which would be slick, only good thing about em.

    Women seem to enjoy receiving them but are generally ashamed to be seen with them or have them on display thus an over-zealous attempt to raise collars and wear a scarf indoors.

    I have a sooper sekrit method of creating all the pleasure of hickies without the bruising afterwards. (I'm sure its not secret but I can dream!) Even if you aren't ashamed of hickies, there's no way you can treat them as a fashion statement. If it looks like someone tried to strangle you/drink your blood, then that's just what its going to look like, so I can understand the desire to hide it afterwards.

    Love getting/giving them! I don't know why... It's like they're a badge of pleasure or something...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,813 ✭✭✭themadchef


    Ewwww.... seriously Dudess? how can anyone love hickeys?

    In fairness following day at work, be it boss or customer.... tell me you're going to wear that hickey proudly? I'd feckin' die with embarrassment




    *Shudders*

    Remembers working as manager for dunnes on Cornelscourt. One of the girls had a huge hickey on her neck. HR overlord comes in and sticks a plaster on it ... poor girl was mortified!

    You see what you're attracting?! I'd tend to agree though, with Dudess that is.

    Well not the look of them... but what it takes to get them - can you deny its awesomeness?!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,344 ✭✭✭Thoie


    I had to go to work for a fortnight looking like I'd been gnawed by a toothless tiger. Most people didn't say a word (to my face), and if anyone asked I just said "I fell". Are people going to think worse of you just cos someone's been kissing you?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,878 ✭✭✭Rozabeez


    I don't enjoy having one, but getting one is nice.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,249 ✭✭✭✭Kinetic^


    I like receiving them but the oh isn't mad on receiving them. I latched onto her left cheek (on her face that is) one day about 6 years ago. Epic lulz ensued as she had to go to college. In retrospect it probably looked as if I battered her. :pac:

    Someone snacking on your neck/poor kissing technique??? :confused:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 52 ✭✭Cathkins


    Oh I had one a few weeks ago which was given to me "by accident". I of course retaliated by giving him one back a few days later, following afternoon we bump into his mum in town who looks at his neck, back to me, to his neck, tuts and mutters something about us acting like a couple of teenagers :o (morto) - it is true though! hehe :p The getting them is indeed awesome I agree :D

    Got it in one :D

    I love hickeys.

    It's were I get all my pretty ribbons and buttons.

    Can't answer this in it's current context.

    I'm about the same. Last time I got one I was still a teenager. Wouldn't let anybody do it to me now. I'd feel like a right sack with one

    Um, cause of the smut cert? Or something else?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 43,045 ✭✭✭✭Nevyn


    For those wishing to heal up such bruising or lover's marks your best bet is Arinca cream.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 37,214 ✭✭✭✭Dudess


    Toothpaste is a little trick I learned in school - it sorta worked...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,196 ✭✭✭✭Crash


    Haven't had a proper one in years - then again I've never really showed up as a result. Gave an ex some awful ones when i was a wee un - they are enjoyable to give and recieve tho ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,986 ✭✭✭Red Hand


    I wouldn't say I love them, but the Hickey's were always a very dacent family. The son is a priesht in the Missions in Africa, I heard recently at mass.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,639 ✭✭✭LightningBolt


    I despise them, I truly do. There's a whole lot more ways to be intimate and having way more fun with your partner imo


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,325 ✭✭✭b3t4


    No, no, no, no, no Ugh, NO!

    I hate them. Despise them infact.

    I was seeing a guy once who was pestering and pestering me to give him a hickey. To shut him up I gave him a hickey but I gave him a hickey so bad it took weeks to disappear. He never asked me for one again!

    I ended up meeting then manfriends mother for the first time.
    After the hickey equilivant of a nuclear holocaust.
    Why has my brain not managed to wipe that recollection yet!!!!:o:o:o


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 91 ✭✭thats_life


    give but never recieve.

    With the right lad in a moment of passion, yes, provided that he doesn't scar me as if he were Count Dracula. Being a student mostly, the looks by others during the following days is a laugh...and there's always makeup or a high collar if need be, especially around family.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,196 ✭✭✭Crumble Froo


    absolutely love giving/receiving them. basically, just have to (attempt to) be careful as to where they end up. working with kids n all. also the whole getting changed for surfing, have to keep a good chunk of my chest/shoulders covered up. but oh so well worth it.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,497 ✭✭✭✭Dragan


    If you don't have some kind of skin damage then your doing it wrong in my opinion. :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,883 ✭✭✭shellyboo


    Bite marks and suck marks, yes... in discreet places where no-one can see them except you and your partenr. Hickeys just look nasty. Nasty nasty nasty.

    Never worked for me just ended up with a scab of dry skin.

    I sorta have a fear of them since I was held down by my mates at 16 and given a humongous one was black and stretched from my ear to shoulder, I was left with a shadow scar even after it faded. I bruise so easily though.

    Yeah it was seemingly hilarious:rolleyes:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,196 ✭✭✭Crumble Froo


    shockin. im quite disgusted, actually.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,252 ✭✭✭✭Madame Razz


    Never intend giving or receiving them, but have unwittingly ended up with them. Im a 'sucker' for all that neck business anyway. Dudess is right, it is awesome.

    Arnica does work wonders, I'd a dodgy one there recently enough and it really really helped.

    They don't look great on the neck, but elsewhere I fail to see what difference lovers marks make , you'll have them well covered by day anyway, and anytime you do see them, well, i always find it serves as a very pleasant reminder;)

    Never given them, never gotten one, too close to cocking my leg to mark my territory IMO.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,026 ✭✭✭homerun_homer


    They are great to give but not cool to look at. Although the last one I had I was very happy with because of who gave it to me, it makes all the difference.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,443 ✭✭✭ams


    No no no! I was home at the wknd and my 14 yr old neighbour called over - he had mahooosive ones all around his neck - even directly at the back of his neck - how she did it was a mystery although he is quite small and his neck is prob the size of my ankle!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,676 ✭✭✭✭smashey


    I always detested them and I have better ways of pleasuring or showing some love. :cool:


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,183 ✭✭✭Puddleduck


    Love giving and getting hickies. Theyre fun!!! Its better though if you leave them somewhere where its just a reminder for the other and now a big 'I own this' Mark.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 37,214 ✭✭✭✭Dudess


    I don't really see what's "disgusting" about them - it's just skin discoloration. :)

    I don't know, they make me feel really desired or something... hard to explain.

    I find they just work perfectly with the bite marks and the scratch marks myself.:pac:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,165 ✭✭✭✭brianthebard


    Because your man wants you so much that he can't control how he shows it? Or perhaps you grew up around horses as a youth....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,196 ✭✭✭Crumble Froo


    @ dudess feel desired while getting them, or seeing the bruise later?
    or both?

    i find it hard to describe... it's one of those things that just in the passion of the moment, biting/sucking is a kind of outlet and expression of all the feelings or something... hard to explain, for me, but yes. definitely in favour of them in general... do hate them being visible though, i can be quite private about those kind of things.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 37,214 ✭✭✭✭Dudess

    Both.
