More Than Just Kissing
I want to know about hickeys. How do I give one? And why would someone give them to someone else? My friend had one and it looked kind of gross but everyone in my class thought it was cool. I just want to be prepared!sandra | age 14 | United States | December 1, 2009

Hickeys happen when blood is brought closer to the skin's surface, like a bruise. This can be done by sucking your skin. On sensitive areas, it's easier to do. That's why the neck is a common spot to see hickeys. You can try it on your own arm thought if you really want to practice! Usually in the middle of a make out session if you suck and kiss your partner's neck, it can feel really good, They do look kind of gross and can be embarrassing to have on your neck if you are going to be around your family or in a formal occasion. Even going to school with one can be weird, I find. Right now it may seem cool, but you will soon realize that more people try to hide them, rather than show them off. Anyway, some people don't like having their neck sucked that way, so it's something you have to slowly try to incorporate and see how the other person reacts.Tags: kissing, hickey, bruise, make out
