And I will tell you that in a minute but first tell me something…What is a hickey? And do you know how to give hickeys?
First, let’s talk about what a hickey really is…
What is a hickey?
Some call them “love bites”, why? I don’t know because for what I can tell there’s no bitting involved…the origin of a hickey is when someone shucks your sick so hard that it becomes discolored…Simply put, that’s the process of a hickey!
This is how you create a hickey.
So what is a hickey? Now you know…
But ok… for the curious ones, I will give me some History…
It was 1934 that the word “hickey” enter the English language, says Jill McDevitt, PhD, and a resident sexologist at CalExotics.
Yes, the act itself was around way before 1934, but the name entered the English language at that time…
Some even say that it was a way to punish your partner in Kama Sutra…
Let’s answer the second question?
How to give hickeys?
First things first… the conversation has to happen! In the relationship, there’s you and your partner and you need your partner’s consent, ok?

Next, in how to give a good hickey… while both of you are in the hot mood of love, all you have to do is to suck your partner’s neck… In this part you will create a little bit of suction with your lips…it feels like making some kind of vacuum! You will know it…
And now all you have to do is to step back and watch the masterpiece you created… And don’t forget to cover your partner’s neck afterward… or yours!

My suggestion is to start with a cold compress. It will help, believe me. You could even use a chilled spoon, or a cloth dampened with cold water, or an Ice pack. Why? You ask… because cold temperatures help to slow the flow of your blood from the vells into your skin. Do this several times per day, for 2 days at least.
What next? After 2 days do the same thing but this time with a warm compress…only after the two days, ok? This will help the hickey fade sooner than usual. It’s not gonna disappear immediately but it will despair.
Hickeys don’t go away overnight! No matter how hard you try…These are the consequences of your love actions, and you are responsible for them…
If you want to know more about how to get rid of a hickey, here are some other tricks you can try to make the hickey fade away sooner… It doesn’t hurt to try right?
You can massage the area where the hickey is and add some peppermint essential oil to your massage. The peppermint essential oil will help stimulate blood flow to the area.
Or you could apply topical vitamin K because topical vitamin K has been shown to clear up bruises more quickly and speed up skin healing! And we know that this is what you want, right? Skin healing….
But did you know that you could also use topical vitamin C?
Topical vitamin C could heal your hickey by strengthening the skin tissue around your blood vessels.
There are many more tricks but I will share one more…
Use aloe vera!
The aloe vera plant has some good anti-inflammatory properties that will help reduce skin swelling that a hickey usually does. All you need to do is to apply a little bit of aloe vera cream to the area of the bruise at least twice per day.
That’s how you will treat the hickey.
Do all of this for some days and you will be fine… But until the hickey disappears cover the area with something!
