What Does a Good Hickey Look Like?

Published in Relationships 2 mins read

A "good" hickey is subjective and depends on personal preference, but generally, it's a dark red or purple mark that's visible but not overly prominent.

Here are some factors that influence the appearance of a hickey:

  • Intensity of the suction: A stronger suction creates a more intense mark.
  • Duration of the suction: The longer the suction is applied, the darker and longer-lasting the mark will be.
  • Skin tone: Lighter skin tones tend to show hickeys more prominently than darker skin tones.
  • Individual sensitivity: Some people are more prone to getting noticeable hickeys than others.

A "good" hickey might be considered:

  • A subtle mark: A barely noticeable, light red or purple mark that fades quickly.
  • A noticeable mark: A darker red or purple mark that is visible but not overly prominent or painful.
  • A "statement" mark: A very dark and prominent mark that is meant to be seen and shows the intensity of the passion involved.

Remember, it's important to be respectful of your partner's boundaries when it comes to hickeys. Communication is key to ensuring both partners are comfortable with the level of intimacy involved.
