hickey science!

I am going to reveal some ignorance here, but I only recently discovered that hickeys weren't just trix for kids, like the dude I remember coming to high school homeroom one day with an absolute ring of angry-looking hickeys around his neck in a badge of ownership.

So I posted a poll to see what people had to say. Out of around 105 respondents, 11 had never given or gotten a hickey, but among the rest (people could answer yes to more than one question):
  • 7% had given one, never gotten one
  • 11% had gotten one, never given one
  • 23% hadn't engaged in hickeying since high school
  • 13% still hickey and do not hide it
  • 32% still hickey but hide it
  • 11% really like giving hickeys
  • 18% really like getting hickeys
  • 3% don't like giving or getting hickeys, but do it to keep the SO happy
What about you?

Hickeys are gross and tacky and skanky and AWFUL and a sign that the person on your neck doesn't know what the hell he or she is doing.

And don't think for one minute that he's yours!
