Hello
It is important to ascertain before giving a hickey/lovebite/monkey bite, that the receiving person actually wants one. There are many people who do not like them, and who would find getting a hickey both mean and offensive. Since hickeys are often associated with sexual foreplay.Like most bruises a hickey will heal in time, which varies depending upon the person. More serious hickeys tend to take longer to heal since more damage is incurred on the blood vessels.If you have received an unwanted hickey, this suggests it is a good time to set boundaries in your relationship with another person. It is never okay to be subjected to something you don’t want sexually or playfully.
