If you\u2019re grossed out by the mere thought of period sex, the notion of rainbow kissing might just send you over the edge. Because despite its sweet seeming name, rainbow kissing is perhaps the least romantic sexual act one can fathom.<\/p>\n<p>What is rainbow kissing? Allow me to explain. A rainbow kiss is a sex act in which bodily fluids are swapped orally between someone with a penis and someone with a vulva \u2014 namely, semen and menstrual blood. Yes, I did warn you!<\/p>\n<p>In recent months, searches for \u2018What is rainbow kissing\u2019 went through the roof on Google. It was all thanks to a viral TikTok video in which users known as Meg and Emma (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@mgly22594\">@mgly22594<\/a>) discussed a message a random TikTok user had sent them about wanting to give them rainbow kisses.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018I said, \u201cThis sounds very lovely, I do like rainbows but no thank you I don\u2019t want kisses,\u2019 Meg explains, unaware of it\u2019s true meaning. \u2018Do you know what rainbow kisses are?\u2019 Emma asks, then tells Meg to look it up before showing her appalled reaction after doing so.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"tiktok-embed\" cite=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@mgly22594\/video\/7153117096279346437\" data-video-id=\"7153117096279346437\" data-embed-from=\"oembed\" style=\"max-width:605px; min-width:325px;\">\n<section> <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"@mgly22594\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@mgly22594?refer=embed\">@mgly22594<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>WHERE ARE PEOPLE LEARNING THESE TERMS!?! <a title=\"rainbow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/rainbow?refer=embed\">#rainbow<\/a> <a title=\"lgbt\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/lgbt?refer=embed\">#lgbt<\/a> <a title=\"fyp\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/fyp?refer=embed\">#fyp<\/a> <a title=\"wtf\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/wtf?refer=embed\">#wtf<\/a> <a title=\"mortified\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/mortified?refer=embed\">#mortified<\/a> <a title=\"noway\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/noway?refer=embed\">#noway<\/a> <a title=\"block\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/block?refer=embed\">#block<\/a> <a title=\"help\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/help?refer=embed\">#help<\/a> <a title=\"tiktok\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/tiktok?refer=embed\">#tiktok<\/a> <\/p>\n<p> <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"\u266c original sound - Meg&#038;Emma\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/music\/original-sound-7153117149827992326?refer=embed\">\u266c original sound &#8211; Meg&#038;Emma<\/a> <\/section>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p> <script async src=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/embed.js\"><\/script> <\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p>With 5.3million views, over 500,000 likes and 20,000 people discussing rainbow kissing in the comments, you can see where all the newfound search has come from then, huh?

What makes a rainbow kiss different is that one partner would be on their period. After ejaculation, the partners \u2014 one who has semen in their mouth and the other who has menstrual blood in theirs \u2014 would kiss, mixing the two bodily fluids together.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text module_class=&#8221;fp-in-article-bold&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_font=&#8221;Black Han Sans|||on|||||&#8221; text_font_size=&#8221;18px&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p>Why do people like rainbow kissing and how popular is it?<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p>Incorporating bodily fluids into sex is a fairly common kink \u2014 in more-mainstream porn this might look like somebody with a penis ejaculating into their partner&#8217;s mouth, or onto their face or chest. But it can also extend to sharing other fluids \u2014 such as spit, blood, or urine.<\/p>\n<p>Rainbow kisses themselves are perhaps a little more niche, but we don&#8217;t know for sure how popular they are! Sex during menstruation is still a taboo within our society (which could potentially add to the playful &#8220;naughtiness&#8221; of the act) so it&#8217;s likely that more people are engaging in sex acts like these on the down low (pardon the pun!). It&#8217;s obviously important to say that rainbow kissing isn&#8217;t for everyone, and you should never be pressured into trying a sex act that you don&#8217;t feel 100% comfortable with.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text module_class=&#8221;fp-in-article-bold&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_font=&#8221;Black Han Sans|||on|||||&#8221; text_font_size=&#8221;18px&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p>Where does the term rainbow kissing come from?<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p>Discussions around rainbow kissing date back to at least 2002, but it&#8217;s extremely likely that performances of the sex act itself go back way further. There\u2019s no real consensus on where the term itself came from, but rainbow kiss discussion has had a resurgence online this year.<\/p>\n<p>A recent TikTok trend involved people filming themselves before and after searching the term \u2018rainbow kiss\u2019 and documenting their shock. This is probably a good time to remind people of the phrase \u2018Your kink is not my kink, but your kink is okay\u2019 \u2014 just because something isn&#8217;t for you personally, or even grosses you out, kink-shaming is never okay!<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text module_class=&#8221;fp-in-article-bold&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_font=&#8221;Black Han Sans|||on|||||&#8221; text_font_size=&#8221;18px&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p>Is rainbow kissing safe and if so, how do I do it safely?<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p>First of all, everyone needs to be of age and enthusiastically consenting! Secondly, all sex acts with another person carry a potential risk of sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Because it&#8217;s not possible to achieve a rainbow kiss while using a condom or dental dam, you need to be confident that everybody involved has been tested recently and has no STIs.<\/p>\n<p>A good rule of thumb is to get tested every time you change partner or, if you&#8217;re in a long-term monogamous relationship, every 3-6 months. Rainbow kisses should also be avoided if you have any cuts, sores or ulcers in your mouth, or bleeding gums, as this increases the risk of infection, including HIV.<\/p>\n<p>Similarly, if you are immunocompromised, it might be a good idea to give rainbow kissing a miss and stick to oral sex with a condom or dental dam. Avoid brushing your teeth before oral sex, as this can create microtears in the gums which can make you more susceptible to infections. As with any kink, practice RACK (Risk-Aware Consensual Kink) and know that while you can never completely eliminate risk, you can take steps to reduce it.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p>To find out more about RACK, follow Laura online at @mybodyandyours on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@mybodyandyours\">TikTok<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/mybodyandyours\/\">Instagram<\/a> &amp; <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/mybodyandyours\">X<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider color=&#8221;#111111&#8243; divider_position=&#8221;center&#8221; divider_weight=&#8221;2px&#8221; module_class=&#8221;custom-divider&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;0px||0px||false|false&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px||0px||false|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text module_class=&#8221;credit-texts&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_font=&#8221;|||on|||||&#8221; text_orientation=&#8221;center&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p><b>Photo: <\/b>Getty<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You must mentally prepare for the sexual education you\u2019re about to receive.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":2318,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2317","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-feature"],"acf":[],"modified_by":"kschwarz","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2317","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2317"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2317\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2325,"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2317\/revisions\/2325"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2318"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2317"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2317"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2317"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
