Sensitive areas like the neck, cheeks, thighs, and belly are good locations for a love bite because they show the mark more readily due to their thinner skin and increased blood vessel concentration. These areas also tend to be more easily hidden by clothing if desired.
While various sources discuss the giving and receiving of love bites (hickeys), focusing solely on location, it's crucial to remember that consent is paramount. Any physical interaction, including love bites, should always be consensual.
The intensity of a love bite (the amount of suction and duration) should be discussed and agreed upon by all parties involved. A gentle approach is recommended, and partners should communicate their comfort levels throughout the interaction.
- Neck: A classic location for a love bite, often easily visible but also easily covered by clothing.
- Cheeks: More visible than the neck, but often perceived as playful.
- Thighs and Belly: Offer a more private location for a love bite, less likely to be seen by others.
Remember that leaving a love bite, regardless of location, can cause bruising and discoloration. The healing time varies depending on the intensity of the suction.
