Breaking skin is very bad from a safety perspective… There are a lot of nasty antibiotic resistant bugs in the human mouth, and infected bite wounds are just awful. Not to mention the saliva/blood-borne viruses.
On the other hand, you have to bite pretty hard and determinedly to break skin.
And I’d second what Maxxxie said- the one being bitten is the boss.
That spot phraser mentioned on the shoulder/neck is certainly a winner in my book 
Also if my hubby did bite me as hard out of the arousal state as he does while in it… it would hurt like hell!!! But when I’m happily into it… it feels very good Amazing what a little context does to sensation
Yeah, I’ll try, too. The one woman I mentioned, though, I just couldn’t bring myself to bite as hard as she wanted. I’m not sure if she wanted me to break the skin, or not. But, I was worried I’d end up with a third nipple and no place to put it, it was that hard. Might’ve made a good stop-smoking aid, though. 
Ooh, ooh! Yes! The small of the back is another lovely spot.
Biting is everso nice, and like tanookie, I believe it’s all about context. My husband can bite me really hard on my neck and shoulders* during sex, and it just intensifies the ecstasy. If he just walked up to me without warning and bit me that hard? He’d better be ready for that proverbial frying pan.
I don’t like biting him so much, though, as he isn’t into the least little bit of pain. He can barely handle the fingernails on his back, but he loves to hear me scream! Yeah, I’m a screamer.

*sure, I have to wear a collared shirt to work for a few days, but it is worth it!
LOL wow … its the biting fetish club - not one person said ewwwwwwwwwww 
that’s kinda cool.
I also like the brusing - which, in a logical way, sounds really bad. I mean, if you’re brusied, it’s means a lot of force hit you in some way to get that bruise - in the normal course of events, that’d be a very bad thing. And yet, after an excellent session and I’m dressing the next day and notice a bruise on my shoulder or inner thigh or whatever, it makes me smile and remember … and thats wonderful, I love that. I love the fact he’s marked me as his - I must have some cavewoman genes in me or something!!!
Davebear nice post !!! Me likes it :D. However, I could never be your tummy woman was I loathe and despise my mine - its my most hated part of my body bursts into floods of tears lol… but, if someone loves it, then I’d be cool with that - it is me after all.
I still don’t understand why I like biting so much? I think it must be a power thing or a trust thing - that I allow someone so close to me that they can harm me (in a fashion) and I trust them to do it to the extent that I enjoy it but not so far as they’re really hurting me - I think that can be a fine line - and a real measure of your trust in someone. For instance, I’m not sure I’d like a guy I just met to do it - somehow, biting is more intimate than that.
Also its a power thing - whether, as some have said, I as the bitee have the the power or he as the biter has the power - perhaps its a bit of both? Respect also comes into it too - unless he respects me, then I sure as hell wouldn’t allow it.
But the whole biting issue also skirts around the pain/pleasure issue too - as we all know there’s a fine line between the two and that zone where pain is pleasure - don’t misunderstand me, I don’t get off on pain like some do (no cig burns or cuts for me - no goddam way)… but there is a small space somewhere there where pain is pleasureable … which, again if you think about it logically, is odd as pain is a warning mechanism.
Well, in the heat of passion, who thinks logically anyways - you go with the flow - you think of something and do it and if you like it and they like it, you do it again - and as long as you both enjoy it, then there’s is nothing wrong at all
Count me in as someone who likes to be bitten and bruised. Unlike Rhino’s, however, I try not to spend time overthinking it. I guess I’m just an “I like what I like” kinda chick.
Just recently discovered the collarbone and breast as an area for biting purposes. MROW! I say. Also, I’ve finally crossed the line of not being someone who says, “I like biting but not in my sensitive bits” (not that I’m passing judgement; everyone needs their boundaries/limits!).
Well… seeing as this is a board where we discuss thread topics, I opened out my thinking on it so that it would maybe spark off some discussion… its hardly like I sit around all day thinking about biting :rolleyes:…
Oh well…
Biting is good. Being bitten is better. I love it.
I like biting…as any of you who have been paying attention have probably figured out. I’m not so big on being bitten, thuogh recently I discovered I like being bitten on my…ulp…man bits. :eek: Even to the point of mild bruising.
i have a horrible habit of biting and scratching when i’m, well, you know, not quite in control of myself, and have left my honey quite badly marked in the past. he doesn’t usually mind that much at the time though.
personnly i like being bitten on my neck, earlobes and thighs…it’s nice having a little bite mark somewhere no-one else can see. sort of a memento/fetish.
Pat, pat Don’t take it too hard. You can’t please everyone. Only you and Branwen seemed to appreciate my post, but at least the others ignored it, rather than being snotty. That’s fine; I wrote it for you and the other ladies who’ve been so kind and open in my thread. If other people enjoy it, great! If not,…shrug It was the best I could do, not being into the kind of biting you were talking about.
And, I’m sure Rhino loves your tummy.
Brief Hijack: My post was in no way meant to stifle conversation about why people like pain, biting, being bitten (see Rhino’s post). I didn’t intend “overthinking” to be a judgemental statement and apologize that you found it so. What I did mean was that when I try to understand the pain-pleasure connection (in my own experience), I tend to overthink it. In the best situations, it boggles my mind; it the worst, it makes me worry over whether what I like is healthy or not. I honestly didn’t meant to single out Rhino’s Honey (you’re post was just the most recent post in the thread at the time).
Sorry to take up space over this, but I didn’t want to get a snotty reputation.
Nicely said, and I apologize for calling you snotty. It was clearly a miscommunication.
So, purely in the spirit of getting the thread back on topic, BITE ME!
Oh, but, Davebear, though I did not comment on it, I did read your post. So I know you’re more of a nibblin’ fellah.
Thanks for recanting the “snotty” comment. Clearly I’m not a Pit dweller if I can get my undies in a bunch over such a minor thing, eh?
I’m sure that RH and moi will kiss and make up, too. No harm done afterall, unless they bite and make up…oh, nevermind. Davebear went ahead and said it anyhow.
Count me in for the “Yay, biting feels good!” side, though I much prefer light to hard-core, bruising bites. Nibbling is one of the best things ever.
Ah, but I did say I hadn’t been bitten, that I could recall. Maybe I’d like it. (As long as it’s not Tir!)
No problem. These things happen when there are no visual/auditory clues as to the poster’s actual intent.
BTW, you can call it Philly, if you want, but Philly girls are just girls; Jersey girls are HOT!, IME.
Ooooh! Can we watch?
Yep, that’s my specialty; saying the things no one else will.
I knew we were compatible.
The biter, yes. The bitten, not so much.
Although as I type this there’s a brand new hickey on my neck courtesy of the new boyfriend (it’s [almost] our one month anniversary!) for which he shall be punished later. The NBF likes to bite my nipples (sometimes harder than I like him to) but is a bit of a sissy when it comes to being bitten back. He says his nipples aren’t, and I quote, “battle-hardened” like mine. I tell him that his won’t get “battle-hardened” if he doesn’t let me work on them but he isn’t buying it.
I have a piece on the side who loves being bitten and his enjoyment of it is what really activated my interest. Not sure if my interest rises to the level of “fetish” but I definitely have integrated it into my repertoire.
I don’t have a problem with it. In fact, so long as it’s not of the blood-drawing variety, I guess it’s encouraged.
