Love bites: The Pre-marital Mangalsutra

The other day the topic of love bites on the neck came up.

A friend happened to remark that love bites are the pre-marital mangalsutra!


Firstly, I am sure many people will want to know what is a love bite?
Love bite is defined as:
A bite or bruise raised on the body of a sexual partner during love making. Also known as a hicky when visable on the neck

Why did my friend call it a pre-marital mangalsutra?
Because once made around the neck, it stays visible for a long time. It represents a certain kind of closeness between two people and almost marks ownership over each other!
Keeping the above in mind and also the fact that most couples wouldn't hesitate giving love bites before marriage (as opposed to full blown sex) my friend called them the 'pre-marital mangalsutra'.


By the way, please don't ask me who said this because I did not write this post to make fun of him/her, just to share a funny definition of a love bite!
