Guys, Boyfriend said he wants to give me a hickey. Why do boyfriends like to give hickeys? What's the purpose?

It kind of marks his territory and shows his affection for you, definitely something young people do

[Red_Arrow]

Probably the same purpose as when a girls does it to a guy.

Perhaps he wants you to parade around a mark he made.

I know when I'd give hickeys it was more due to the fact that I love sucking on necks, so hickeys just naturally happened.

They want to "brand" you as theirs. They like the idea of "possessing" you. It's a domination thing.

[Ladiesman07]

to make sure and to tell others that you're his only..

[BabaYaga]

maybe he just want to try it, and for some guys it's like marking you

It's the "My Bitch" attitude, marking his territory! It's to send a message to other males.

[BrianSmith]

The purpose is to mark his territory.

[HoodieGuy]

To claim you, perhaps?
