We have to be honest, when we heard the term “Rainbow Kiss” we thought it sounded like one of those things couples do in Pride Parades of the LGBTQIA community in America.
And you can forgive our ignorance because the rainbow is literally the color of the LGBT community flag.
In this article we’ll answer the question, What is a rainbow kiss? and explain if it is safe to engage in, the medical risks it carries, why people are into it, the variations, and things you should know before you engage in it.
What Is Rainbow Kissing?
A rainbow kiss is a type of intimate kiss shared between a woman menstruating and her male partner after they have performed oral sex on each other, and the blood and semen in their mouths mix together to give off a rainbow color.
This kiss is done after ejaculation or if they’ve been pleasuring each other in a 69 position up until orgasm.
In some ways, the position for a rainbow kiss is a lot like snowballing where couples swap semen back and forth in their mouths until it becomes round and thick like a snowball as the size of the semen shot or ball increases after it has been mixed with extra saliva.
The mixture of menstrual flow and semen is what gives off a rainbow colour, ergo rainbow kiss.
On the question of whether this type of kissing is gross or gives sexual pleasure or if you would engage in it, we’ll leave that in your hands.
Is it Safe?
Rainbow kissing no matter how sweet and innocent the name sounds, may not be the safest thing to do with your sexual partner, especially if they are someone you don’t know, this is because the risks of you contracting HIV, Syphilis, and Hepatitis which is contained in semen or period blood is greater when it is with someone who has other sexual partners besides you.
If you must do it, then ensure it is with a healthy perosn and make sure that you are also healthy, as you can easily pass and contract STI Or STD.
Don’t engage in the act if you are not sure of your the other party’s STD status or yours and ask for consent first before bodily fluids are exchanged.
What are the Medical Risks Involved?
Couples engaging or planning to engage in rainbow kiss, should know the medical risks it truly entails and should also be informed that there is nothing harmless about it.
The medical risks include:
- Hepatitis A
- Hepatitis B
- Hepatitis C
- Human papillomavirus (HPV) (can cause throat/mouth cancers)
- Herpes simplex virus
- HIV
- Syphilis
- Chlamydia
- Diarrhea
- Dysentery
- Gonorrhea
How Is It Performed?
Rainbow kissing involves 4 key aspects:
- “69” position
- menstrual blood
- semen
- kissing
While some perosns prefer to do it by taking turns on giving each other oral sex, orders prefer to in the “69” position.
It can be unplanned and accidentally happen if the woman gets her period during oral sex or it could be planned between the couple so that they can hold the blood and semen in their mouths after oral sex so that they can do the kiss.
One hack is for you and your lover to finish at the same time, so that you don’t hold fluids too long in your mouths. Another hack is to use a flavored lube so as to add a new dimension to their sensory play.
Why Are People Into Rainbow Kissing?
Lately, the term “Rainbow Kiss” has been all over social media, and if you have heard it before, that’s probably why.
There are hundreds of Twitter feeds and threads from doctors mentioning this act and the #rainbowkiss has 1.6 million views on TikTok.
While many people have heard of it, or thought that it would be the thing needed to make their love life more interesting.
As long both partners are consenting adults then there is nothing wrong with doing this making love and although it sounds strange, a rainbow kisses are just as normal as other sexual fantasies and fetishes couples use to spice up their sex life, and it may be a good idea for adventurous and kinky couples.
Another reason for engaging in rainbow kissing is due to the fact that orgasms are said to relieve menstrual pain.
Whether popular or not, it is the latest way couples use to measure their partner’s acceptance of their positive and negative side and how far they would go to increase intimacy and open up themselves to new sexual gratification activities.
Are There Variations?
There are no other variations of a rainbow kiss, as no other form of penetrative or oral sexual act is like it.
What Else Do You Need To Know Before You Engage In The Act?
All sexual activities are risky especially if done with multiple persons, but a rainbow kisses carries more risks because it involves swapping blood and semen mouth to mouth.
If you are going to engage in the fluid fetish, here are other things you need to know:
- Take precautions such as knowing their STI or STD status
- Only do it if you and your partner is comfortable.
- Don’t let anyone pressure you into doing it if you don’t want to
- Do it on a dark-colored sheet or towels to avoid bloodstain and mess,
- Use latex or non-latex gloves if you will be fingering your woman.
However, if you focus on clitoral stimulation instead of penetrating with your tongue you may not get any blood on your mouth (this is if you want to make your partner feel good on their period without the bloody fliud exchange).
