Sexpert Q&A: How Hickies Happen

yvonne_headshot1yvonne-q1Dear Yvonne,
What happens to make you get a hickey?
-Julia

 

yvonne-a2Dear Julia,
When a lover sucks or bites on an area of your body, the bruise that forms is called a hickey.  This is caused by blood vessels breaking under the skin.  The size and color of a hickey is determined by how long and how strongly your partner feasted on you.

Dear Julia,

Can you tell us how big your hickey is and did you enjoy it?

 
Comment by JimO

If you have ever had one, you would know about how it got there and this question would have never been asked

Julia…IF you have one, use Visene to get rid of it quicker. I give my gfriend hickeys frequently – hell, she bruises easily and can get a hickey with the drop of a hat. Visene truly gets the red out.

Please let me know what are the alternatives for dealing with EDS for a 50 years old, after suffering of diabetes 2 since 1999, exercising regularly, height 5.6, weight 175, low carb diet, wanting to continue having a sexual life, tried viagra and others but no success. I tried a treatment from Boston medical group with limited success.

 

[...] wrote to a sex expert asking how do hickeys happen. I can guarantee you if this wasn’t a joke, the writer was a middle to upper class person [...]

Dear Meghan Kelley, of Fox News March 6, 2009

Thank you for your announcement about a pharmaceutical that helps with quitting tobacco or alcohol. Naturally this can receive publicity, because it is patented. No pharmaceuticla can receive a patent if it is natural or “orthomolecular.” Only unnatural molecular arrays can be patented, but unnatural substances almost inherently are “toximolecular” because the bio-kingdom has no experience with it.

But thank God Dr. Abram Hoffer (now a professor at Univ of Arizona) found that very large doses of vitamin C, natural and inherently cheap, make it possible for heroin addicts, tobacco adicts, and alcohol addicts to come down off of these substances with no DTs or withdrawal symptoms. Don’t take my word for it Read about it. This is just the tip of the iceberg on the facts about orthomoleular healing.

God bless you, Robert Hansell
