GAYLETTER

So this is, and isn’t, a post about getting a hickey. The thing is, life can get real repetitive, real quick. If you don’t force yourself to break your routine, or go out even when you don’t feel like it, then life can pretty quickly become one long Groundhog Day, without Bill Murray to keep you company. To us, the hickey is the ultimate symbol of spontaneity. Which is why we like it, and why we’re going to help you do it right. We don’t care who you give a hickey to, or who you get one from, just find someone who’s happy to go all ‘Twilight’ with you. The goal is to suck hard enough to break the capillaries just beneath the skin. Don’t do it so hard that it hurts (if the receiver isn’t a BDSM fan, then you’re just going to piss them off.) It takes about 20 to 30 seconds to create a hickey, but really, go for as long as you like — a deep toned hickey is the ultimate accessory this summer. Most people do neck hickeys, but why stop there? Why not try a forearm hickey, or a face hickey, or even the infamous dick hickey? The options really are endless. The point is to have fun, and feel like a slutty 21-year-old again. Pow! Pow!  —tom
