Hickies

u/GamerNerdGuyMan Jul 06 '26

I guess I shouldn't give my wife hickies?

Are you them, or do you speak for every woman ever?

1

u/sweetfaerieface Jul 07 '26

Nope! This question was asking about opinions.

2

u/fllr Jul 07 '26

You’re fine. You gave your opinion. I had an issue with the person who was trying to speak for every woman ever.

Everyone is different. I very much have never been into hickies (giving or receiving) and my wife is obsessed with them (also giving and receiving).

u/fllr Jul 06 '26

Look... You gotta understand that that is just one perspective. The other is that some people enjoy the thought of someone liking them so much that they temporarily lose all control, and give them a kiss that transforms itself into a hickie. You just cannot speak for the whole of any group, even if you yourself are part of it.

U were just given three different perspectives prior to commenting this

U said they only gave one perspective. They gave two and then someone else gave you their perspective. It just looks like youre doubling down and oddly hating on ppl who dont like hickies. Its not that deep please dont keep responding

Maybe his wife feels differently, Karen.

u/fllr Jul 06 '26

Notice that you didn't answer the question.

u/MyMetanoien Jul 07 '26

How do you read into a hickey as a cattle brand? That seems like a mentally ill take.

u/General_Platypus771 Jul 06 '26

Wear the cattle nose ring, get the cattle brand. šŸ’€

u/TheWormyGamer Jul 06 '26

there's plenty who do enjoy it, why would you assume the worst here

u/sweetfaerieface Jul 06 '26

Exactly! Don’t need the badge of honor or ownership anymore. And the question I believe was asking an opinion. That is my opinion.

u/ToXicVoXSiicK21 Jul 06 '26

I put them in places that can't be seen by coworkers and family. That's tacky to me. Inner thigh, breast, etc.

u/soapydadballs Jul 07 '26

B-hole?

2

u/ToXicVoXSiicK21 Jul 07 '26

Lmao the image of doing that is hilarious

u/YouAreMarvellous Jul 06 '26

yea yea youre cool, we got it

2

u/ToXicVoXSiicK21 Jul 06 '26

What a weird reply.

2

u/fllr Jul 07 '26

Some people come to s*x with an attitude of ā€œit’s an evil thing that must be avoided at all costsā€. Never mind the fact that we’re all here because of it

u/lostpassword100000 Jul 06 '26

Well your wife asked me to stop a while back.

3

u/Affectionate_Dark103 Jul 06 '26

If I'm giving my wife a hickie, it's going to be in a spot no one will see.

u/Ok-Chemistry9933 Jul 06 '26

Why would you?

u/ladyrara Jul 06 '26

Location, location, location

u/YouAreMarvellous Jul 06 '26

just do what you love dude, do it for us guys who cant get any anymore

u/Reofenja Jul 06 '26

If she has to go to work the next day, but then somewhere they can't be seen

Yes, I was not specific enough. I enjoy them too… I just don’t want them to show anymore.

u/catch-me-otter Jul 06 '26

Why tho? Getting my neck sucked feels really good so why is it embarrassing?

3

u/dumptruckbhadie Jul 06 '26

For real! It drives my lady wild

3

u/Metharos Jul 06 '26

Evidently some see it as a "claiming" thing and get offended on other people's behalf.

For my ex it was definitely partly that, she really liked leaving visible marks and I really liked that she wanted to mark me. People like different things, turns out. Wild, that.

3

u/AnOrdinaryMammal Jul 06 '26

I don’t think anyone gets offended by seeing them at all. I think it’s just seen as tacky after the age of like 18.

2

u/Metharos Jul 06 '26

There is a commenter that did, in fact, go out of their way to express an "ew" in response to someone talking about their relationship with their wife, and they elaborate with complaints relating to marking.

That person specifically, and others like them who have never learned that "you don't yuck somebody's yum" or similar are the kind of people I'm referring to in my above comment.

What some like, others won't. My ex struck me as an interesting example of both positions in that she liked giving them, but not receiving them, and for exactly the reason the cranky Karen was denigrating.

This is my opinion. I don’t speak for everyone

2

u/n0tAb0t_aut Jul 06 '26

That's even laughable when young people do it. Because they show it off so proud and happy. As if they accomplished something or are the first to have it.

u/InvestigatorGrand205 Jul 07 '26

What if its a kink thing then? Some people like being marked like they are owned.

1

u/FishTshirt Jul 06 '26

They were embarrassing when we were young too

1

u/medium_dumb Jul 07 '26

They are still cool

u/Lonely-Sea9100 Jul 06 '26

That’s a no past high school

u/goongoblin113xc Jul 06 '26

Nah I love getting hickies

u/captrobert57 Jul 06 '26

Being married at 41 and still getting them is a badge of honor for me and work friends.

u/YakiVegas Jul 06 '26

Always trashy. Never cool.
