Is it normal that i hate when my boyfriend gives me hickies?

It was cool when I was 17, but i'm an effing adult now, my brain will be fully mature in two and a half years and i'm fed up with it. He doesn't even do it for my pleasure most of the time, because if he did the hickies would go on my breasts, or some other place that clothing our hair covers. I'm in college, trying to learn to be professional, and my boyfriend submits me to looking like some whorish slave with hickies on the front of my neck. I don't like my professors seeing this. If I had a job, i'm sure i would receive repercussions for such "behavior". Is it normal i don't like hickies? I think their tacky and achieve the opposite of what he intends - rather than making me looked "owned" he makes me look like a slut. Maybe an owned slut...

    Here's a radical idea… try talking to him about it.

        He sounds like a prick. If he doesn't listen to your boundaries about this, about YOUR body, then what the hell else is he going to do against your wishes? Don't be so passive, you have a right to be respected.

        • To be fair, he only does it when he's drunk now.

            And this is a good excuse?

            • Not a good one, but it is an excuse. I was just saying it's not a very regular occurrence, maybe twice a year. I was just wondering if others found it as distasteful as i do... Because every time i see my sister she's flaunting like four different hickies from two different guys and it doesn't seem to bother her much, although she is older.

    My boyfriend did this for a while. Put your foot down!!! That's disrespect. If my bf didn't want hickies I wouldn't do it to him, and I certainly don't like them myself since I work in a professional environment.

    1. Tell him to stop
    2. You'll need to cover them up until the skin can heal. Either but a scarf or wear a turtleneck.

    • :o but it's like 80° outside!

      I've just been trying to keep my hair over it, but even that is too much.

    Maybe if you moo and ring the cowbell right when he goes for your neck he'll get the hint.

    To be honest, I thought they were something you did when you're about six. Like a chinese burn. Why hasn't he grown out of this?

    Yeah I don't like hickies in the neck too because I think that people don't need to know what I do home and when you're working it's innapropriate to show up at work with hickies. You should try to make your bf understand that.
