Why would my boyfriend want to give me hickeys?

[Anonymous]

He said that it’s a territorial thing. Is it really a territorial thing? Why would you give someone a hickey?

It's trashy af. Do not let him do it. So he needs to suck on your neck so everyone knows you are taken? So stupid.

I told him not to do it again because I have a meeting this week with one of the managers at work and I’m aiming for a higher position at work too (manager). I told him that it looks unprofessional and he said that he won’t do it again and he didn’t.

[spartan55]

For now.

Its just like you said, it's a territorial thing. They do it to let the world known your taken.

How do you see 50+ year olds with hickeys? Most likely never, its a young person thing

[leahzrc]

yeah my boyfriend kept giving me hickeys the past month or so I had to tell him no because at work everyone sees it. he doesn't want people to hit on you or something

[BoopBoopBeep]

I wouldn't do that because I'm not a child. I haven't given a hickey since high school.

[CaptainSmartass]

He's trying to mark his territory, and its really trashy and chavvy. Next time he tries it on, don't let him.

Simples...

[TrillXHippy]

Cause it’s a territorial thing. I don’t know how else to answer that question

[mb120101]

Because he didn't grow up from the tenth grade

[mb120101]

Marking territory is ridiculous ha. I want a girl that marks my territory for me

[LiamJHayden]

To scare off other guys

[Sparkie460]

He's just marking you as taken.

Its a guys way of marking his territory, lol.

[Asker]

That’s what my boyfriend told me lol. But why would he do it? Is he insecure or something? I do get a lot of attention, by the way lol.

Its fun, lol.

[Asker]

Yeah, but he did it to me knowing that I had work the next day.

[Opinion Owner]

Doh! well that sucks.

[Asker]

Yeah and people did notice, unfortunately.

Tell your boyfriend to knock it off.
