Hickey as a sign of ownership?

[PixieDust]

Did you ever/Do you leave a hickey on your boyfriend's/girlfriend's neck or where ever obvious as a mark of ownership?

I've never given a hickey nor had a hickey on me. I would say it probably is a mark of ownership which is why I think it's a bit immature. A mature person wouldn't need to "mark" their partner.

There are times where a person might give their partner a hickey just for the fun of it... which is something I can see a young teenager doing, but for the most part I think it is used as a mark of ownership and I know I will never give a girl a hickey. If I can't trust her and need to "mark" her, then clearly I'm not ready for a relationship.

I guess some people do it as a mark of ownership. Others are just plain being naughty. If done in secret places, it becomes an inside joke shared between the two. Thanks for your feedback

My last girlfriend did hickeys as a sign of ownership, and I returned the favor because she liked it. But I think it's a bit immature and should stop when a person has a career job.

[PixieDust]

Agree. Besides, it's sexier on hidden places that only both you know about ;o)

Im personally not a fan of them if they are very visible, like the upper part of the neck, but if they are hidden (below neckline) its like a secret between the two. Once in a while is OK I think but not if its to brand that person for everyone to see. And if it were my boyfriend who left it I'd not like it, seeing that I'd take it as a sign that he doesn't really trust me around other guys, like a "keep your hands off of her" sign. Unless it was an accident, then I couldn't care less

No way. I think it's really awkward to have a hickey. I'm glad the only one I had was in the winter so my neck was always covered out of necessity anyway. I would just trust the person I'm with not to be tempted and they should do the same.

My boyfriend gives me hickeys on my inner thigh so it only shows when I swim at my club lol. To show this guy I'm taken (he kept coming on to me and it was creepy)

[brettb]

No I would never do such a thing...I would just tattoo my name on their body when they are asleep and by god I hope I can finish the tattoo fast enough!

[PixieDust]

Lmao.

[Anonymous]

[PixieDust]

No because I don't likd to get them because I think they look horrible

[PixieDust]

I don't think they look horrible but it is a nuisance to cover up when going to work. Not that I care what people thought but I'd rather they don't talk about me in the first place. At least they'd know you had some action rather than nothing ;o)

[Claire1317]

Lmao true but I don't think my clients would think I look very professional with hickeys because you can't really cover them up and I don't want to advertise my personal life

[PixieDust]

Very true. lol

[candlewax]

Personally, no. But I've been with guys who had their macho moments going on and wanted to.

[DandDlove]

In total Honesty yes but it wasn't to show ownership it was sorta in the moment.

I don't believe in placing marks like those for people to see as a sign of ownership. You shouldn't need to do that if the relationship was mature enough.

[PixieDust]

Haha. Yes, 'in the moment' is okay.

[MJL13]

Yes, if my boyfriend is going to a party and I'm not going I usually give him a hickey so other girls can see he's taken.. I also just like to give him them to show that he's mine.

Hickeys in visible places is bush league
