First, I want to gloat, because not only did I get laid last night, I had two different guys in the time span of 6 hours…pretty impressive…(Shh, no one tell Punha, my virtual daddy…) > > Not impressed, sorry. Any girl can walk into a bar and get laid by more than two guys just by saying “come and get it” (i’m sure ill get flamed for that, but im willing to take a bet on it). I won’t flame you, I’ll agree with you. Hell, any female can walk into any _grocery store_ and wave a hand and say “need some!” and get a dozen horny volunteers right away. This is no accomplishment. It’s acting like a ho, a floozy, and a tramp, all in one evening. ---

Without knowing any of the details, this seems pretty damned harsh. I’m not sure you really need to project your own code of morality on someone else in a thread titled “What’s the best way to hide a hickey?”. Now if Pammi had actually been soliciting opinions on her behavior, that would be another story. ---

Nothing says “I’m eccentric, but at least I have no visible hickeys” like a cravat. For next time: request the hickey be applied somewhere a bit more intimate. Oh, and I hope you drooled on that obnoxious customer’s fries for him. ---

> [@](#): > > For next time: request the hickey be applied somewhere a bit more intimate. Oh, and I hope you drooled on that obnoxious customer’s fries for him Thats what I’m saying. Put hickeys where nobody can see them if you’re so worried about them being seen. When I was in highschool my mom bitched at me for getting one small one. Her words were “I don’t want to see that shit, put it somewhere where I can’t see it” . So since then I’ve never had any visible hickeys unless I was wearing a low cut shirt or a backless blouse,which i never wear anyways. I like hickeys on my …uhm…er…breast area anyways. 😃 ~/X(…)/X\ ---

As to the rightious indignation expressed herein, it’s not like getting laid, even twice in one night, is that hard a feat for a girl or a guy. If Pammipoo wants to do that, and enjoys it, more power to her. It’s just sex, people, let’s not act like Puritans. ---

Hiding hickeys is a frequent topic here & I hope the search function works. Pammipoo, so two guys in 6 hours? How did you hide the hickey from the second guy, if that was the order in which you did said guys? ---

Get a permanent marker, and make it into a smiley face. Then Right below it write “Shit happens” It’ll look like some kind of crappy tattoo, with brownish-pink shading. Oh well, you asked. ---
