What does it mean when a guy wants to give you a hickey?

[lemonette]

He told me that he want to give me a hickey. I know it is a kind of a kiss on the neck, but what is the difference? Does it hurt a lot?

[black]

As a man, I can answer this question as follows; When a guy wants to give you a hickey, it typically signifies a couple of things. First and foremost, it's often seen as a playful or passionate gesture within the context of a romantic relationship. It's a way for your partner to express desire and intimacy, a physical manifestation of their attraction to you. It can also be a sign of youthful exploration and experimentation, especially among teenagers and young adults.

However, it's crucial to note that not everyone appreciates or enjoys hickeys, as they can be quite visible and may lead to discomfort or embarrassment. Communication is key in such situations. It's essential to discuss boundaries and consent with your partner. If you're uncomfortable with the idea, let them know, and a respectful partner will understand and respect your feelings.

Ultimately, the meaning behind a hickey varies from person to person and relationship to relationship. It's important to ensure that any physical affection is consensual and makes both parties comfortable.

It means he wants to kiss/bite/suck your neck.


It’s like someone saying they want to make out with you.


Only, hickies (aka love bites) can leave marks.


As someone who has given and received hickies, I can tell you this:


How much it hurts depends entirely on how hard they are biting or sucking.


How dark the mark will be depends on how hard AND how long they go. (If it’s super short, it may leave little to no mark. If it’s super long, even if they’re being more gentle, it can leave a darker mark if it goes on long enough.)


You can cover up the hickey with cover-up if you want.


But, what I prefer to do is to massage the area with a cold spoon, which when done correctly, can make the hickey disappear in about a day or so (or less, depending on how dark it is).


If you want to avoid all that hassle though, it’s best to have the hickey done somewhere that will be covered by your clothing — e. g. lower than the collar of your shirt.

Its basically sucking on the skin to cause light bruising. It hurts in the same sense spanking hurts. Yes, but not really.

Reasons to do it? Possessiveness. Ownership. Wanting to embarrass you. Make you wear a scarf because he really likes scarfs. He is secretly a vampire and you won't notice the difference as long as he closes the puncture holes after.

"Hickeys?" That's SOOOOOO 1950's to 1970's !!!

A hickey is basically a bruise that is caused by sucking the skin. It can be red or purple. Typically it fully fades away after 2 weeks. People usually like to give hickeys as a form of marking you. Letting people know that you’re already sexually involved with someone. It can be done to any part of your body.

I believe it means that the guy wants to do this as a form of foreplay and make it visible that you are his. I’m not into hickeys because they are uncomfortable and it leaves an obvious scar. Communicate with him and tell him to be gentle if you agree to it.

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

When I was 22, I used to give my ex them as a stamp that he BELONGED to me

[OfMiceandMen]

Means he wants to bite/suck your neck and leave like a big red mark for everyone to see. It's like branding someone. Hey dude look what I did to her...

Stupidest thing ever.

[Smashingdoozy]

A hickey is a bruise using suction from the mouth. It's a way of marking someone. It feels nice but isn't everyones cup of tea..

[DryGermanGuy]

It’s also a mean bastard in the 1996 movie „Last Man Standing“. 😬

[TalkWithoutSpeaking]

My guess is that he wants to make his affection visible.

[spartan55]

Don't do iylllt. Nothing says "I'm trashy" than a hickey

[jojoiwiwbwjo]

Its very unhealthy and honestly mentally too in my opinion

[Fireguy17]

he is 27, not 15.
Tell him to grow up and no hickies.

[handsomelad70]

I used to listen to CBS sports overnight show "Hick At Nite," hosted by Ryan Hickey.

[hbkfan]

You asking what a hickey is? Or why a man would wanna give you one because a hickey is kind of way of marking someone

[iamzack]

Its meant to feel enjoyable though it doesn’t hurt you that much. I mean you can tolerate a little bit pain, right? That pain feels good.

[Alex8736]

Insecurity and something to show off to whoever cares to listen

[Tomisworthless]

he wants to break blood capillaries under skin leaving you marked by him

[TallAnon]

It stays visible for a few days, you'll look stupid.

[DryGermanGuy]

He is tricking you! He is a vampire! 🧛‍♂️

[BLP11520]

I always thought those were immature kids stuff

[Jbrow850028]

Hickey doesn’t mean much just an extra “kink” with being intimate with someone

[eagle1951]

looks like it's been pretty much covered. sometime it also turns males or female on

[sheikalana]

Means he's a vampire.

[Anonymous]

[dudeinohio]

They look terrible. They are low class and trashy
