Valentines Day

Well, it's V-day and since I'm once again dateless, I've decided to take something moderately romantic and analyze the fun out of it. This year, the Hickie; that mark that says that someone was sexually attracted to you enough to latch onto your neck like a lamprey. The hiky is a buise generated from the bursting of blood vesels in a localized area due to the suddently low blood pressure. With sufficient suction, you can actually get blood to pool on the surface of the skin. The neck, sholders and upper arms are particularly vulnerable to this damage due to a high degree of vascularization of those areas. Low pressure bruising was also demonstrated by the Nazis who placed jewish prisoners in chambers then sucked the air out just to see what would happen. The same sort of thing would likely happen to anyone who uses a penis-pump. A low pressure pocked localized over a region of high vascularity would likely result in extensive bruising and discolation of the phalus. So remember love birds, when you give your partner a hicky, you're doing the same exact thing as the Nazis and penile-pumpers.
