Are lovebites ever acceptable?

A guy I work with just came over to ask me something and I noticed he had a massive lovebite on his neck, which made me feel a bit sick. I remember having them as a teenager, and giving out my fair share too, but surely this is something that we should all grow out of? It seems a bit prepubescent to me and merely makes me imagine clandestine teenage fumblings where neither really knows what they are doing, rather than anything really sexy. At least have the bites done some place where others don't have to look at them! Really it does nothing for your image!

    Some people carry passion all through their lives and care not how others perceive their private lives or how it manifests itself to others. Their image and personal contentment is obviously far advanced of another's opinion.

    What people do for each other in relationships is their concern, I personally do not let another's image bother or put me off my stride and certainly do not take any percentage of my time wondering why they wish it that way. Lets face it, people will be people, wouldn't it be sad if we all worried that much of other's opinion that we stayed within the boundaries of others minds.

    By the way ... Who are we to decide what is acceptable and what isnt within a loving relationship, whatever the age ?

    in no way, ever. what's the factor of competing in an experience/pastime. We have already got the answer to this question as Drug exams are in place in many activities presently to end this. So what's the version ? non thus far as i'm able to work out. As somebody else has already referred to, there is lots money invested in soccer that's has grow to be a company no longer a pastime and it may be wiped sparkling up. Diving has grow to be a tactical component of the sport and it won't be even regardless of the undeniable fact that to be trustworthy gamers have been penalised in the previous for doing so. A handball is a handball yet while the Referee or Linesman do no longer see it then that's puzzling for them to make a determination. the respond is and has been obtainable for some years and has been coated in different activities. The video referee. Even the prospect of being caught out by utilizing this option might easily make gamers think of two times. the international Cup could characterize the activities optimal fulfillment as does the Olympics. it may for this reason stick to a similar extreme standards, those standards that we could continuously all attempt for and not basically in pastime, in any different case what message are we sending to our infants. i'm no longer from eire yet that’s beside the point. If the infringement have been performed by utilizing a participant from the rustic i'm from i could be mortified and can nonetheless ask for the sport to be replayed and that participant punished. i think of eire have each precise to ask for the sport to be replayed and that participant banned from the subsequent pastime if not greater.

    I think a collar done up was the answer in this particular scenario......!

    I agree with your comments and a love bite actually makes me think along with teenagers to a one night stand type of thing....where the bite is committed under the influence as a bit of a gimmick but the morning after it is a bit of a shocker...

    Is this person walking around sheepishly....are they in a relationship.....do they seem proud of what is on show....no doubt at the next work drinks it will all come out as to what has gone on...!!!

    I gave and received them as a teenager, but to be honest, I think they look awful now.I noticed a woman at the supermarket last night because she had huge marks all over her neck and chest.She was a big lady, wearing shorts and a vest, and she stank of BO.Very classy!

    If such bites leave longlasting marks, no, they are not acceptable (and may be dangerous as well).

    But why are all people here being so judgmental?

    If it is okay for some people to have oral or anal sex, then why isn't it for some people to have lovebites?...

    Lovebites? I've always called them hickeys.

    I'd have to say that hickeys are for show. This indicates a need to overcompensate and is a sign of immaturity.

    Having said that, I'm going to go give my wife one . . . where nobody will see it. :)

    Hey,each to their own I say, but your right it does look bad!

    I always saw it as one of those childish things people did in puberty to try and prove something to their mates.

    Never quite figured out why anyone would think it was in any way sexy or pleasurable?

    I don't about other people but I don't like to have any kind of bite on my neck, be it a love bit, a dog bite or an alligator bite.

    I find them funny! I only really give them to girlfriends or boyfriends to annoy them!

    I don't do it often, unless they ask me to (in which case somewhere else on the body is preferable to the neck).

    They are pretty tacky yeah... but even when I was at school they were unnacceptable - I remember one girl coming in with about five of them around her neck, and she was one of those geeky girls too... it's always been wrong!
