Are Hickeys Gross?

It's easy for people to say that hickeys feel good, and I don't disagree. To society, they look “sketchy,” or “gross,” or perhaps, some people think they look good. Regardless, it's a completely personal preference.

Is getting a hickey pleasurable?

But hickeys don't feel pleasurable to everyone. "Hickeys don't always feel good. For some people they do, for others they find it painful," Dr. Jaber says.

What is the point in hickeys?

Hickeys can be used as symbols of one's unavailability to the public. But they are not always intended for this purpose. I would venture to say that most hickeys don't have a purpose other than pleasure. In the heat of the moment, you might just get caught up and accidentally suck too hard for too long.
