I wouldn't say anything to anyone, but yes, it makes the person with the hickey look trampy. In the very least, it's a sign of sexual immaturity and at worst it's the sign of an insecure person/relationship.

Because it is, like, SO immature to enjoy someone kissing/nipping/biting your neck! Only tramps like something as kinky as that! People in secure realtionshps never leave hickies because hickies are always about branding your SO, and never the natural result of something that feels good. Seriosuly.

Also, anyone who thinks that people start covering their hicky's at age 16 has never been on a college campus.

	No kidding. Actually, I must admit, I always thought the only reason people covered hickies was so their parents or siblings or friends at school would mock/tease/harass/ground them. Once we move past that time period when we feel self-conscious about sexual activity, I would think that the need to cover them could go away, or at least be less of an issue.

The thing that really gets me about the TRASHY/SKANKY/INAPPROPRIATE FOR WORK ENVIRONMENT comments is that honestly, as several people have pointed out, there's no easy way to distinguish between a bruise left from necking and a bruise left from getting hit by a cupboard door. It's merely a small bruise on the skin, and if it's not inappropriate when it's left by a cupboard door/IV needle/what have you, then why is it inappropriate when left by teeth?

Honestly, that has more to do with the sexual paranoia of the observer than by any objective standard of appropriate behavior.

	I'm still boggling at the person who said they'd never eat at a restraunt again if a server there had a visible hickey. Are they afraid the skank-ness is catching or something? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	I think they're afraid that the mere shock of such an indiscretion on the waitperson's part will bring a severe case of the vapours! (Reply to this)(Parent)

Speaking as someone who's never been in a "branding" situation, but has given and recieved many hickeys because I likes the bitings... yeah, wtf is up with all the "showing off" comments? It's like saying "omigawd, bruises from snowboarding are sooo lame. It's like, showing off."
