You can give someone a hickey anywhere you like, as long as they’re okay with it. If they want to be able to hide the hickey, do it in a place that will be covered by their clothes or hair.

This can vary from one person to another. For many people, hickeys are pleasurable, or at least painless. However, some people might find them a little bit painful—although not everyone considers that to be a drawback! Experiment with your partner to discover what works for both of you.

Typically, hickeys are not dangerous. However, someone with an active oral herpes infection or open cold sore may be able to pass the virus to their partner while giving them a hickey. In rare cases, hickeys can also cause mild scarring.

Can you give a hickey anywhere?

Community Answer

It's much easier on areas of thin skin, but it's possible to give a hickey anywhere if your partner doesn't mind the extra effort.

Question

How long does it take a hickey to disappear?

Community Answer

Usually about a week, but it varies quite a bit. The darker the hickey is, the longer you can expect it to last.
