In mid-life, well-tablished as a character actor, this month he has two major leadg rol, back to back: the die drama <em>Sublet</em>, and as one of Uzo Aduba’s patients season four of HBO’s <em>In Treatment</em>. They’re two que different rol, but they put Hickey ont and center a way we have not yet seen him on screen. Three s to a brilliant reer, John Benjam Hickey is havg a moment. </p><p data-no-id="3" class="css-aeyldl et3p2gv0">“It’s so weird,” he says. And ed, if not for Covid, the timg might not have been que the same. “I did <em>Sublet</em> Israel two years ago, and <em>In Treatment</em> last wter this crazy lockdown bubble. The fact that they me out at once and people are reactg to both of them is a weird nfluence of events. An embarrassment of rich, whatever that exprsn is.” </p><p data-no-id="4" class="css-aeyldl et3p2gv0">In six episos of <em>In Treatment</em>, Hickey plays Col, a whe-llar crimal fulfillg his urt-mandated therapy ssns after four years prison. Col thks he’s one of the good guys. “I’m so lucky to get to play such a son of a bch,” Hickey says. “A straight, whe, cis male who, bee he was born and raised on a untercultural hippie mune, nsirs himself very woke.” Instead, havg to bare his soul to a Black female therapist brgs up some issu. “It touch all of this unspoken, valier misogyny, homophobia, racism, all the stuff that’s jt unr the surface that’s so sry and toxic.” Hickey risted playg him as a villa: “Part of the problem is that we all objectify each other by lor, by genr, by sexual inty. Some of work our ass off to be better, but this is a guy who thks he walks the walk, and he don’t, and ’s revealed to him over the six episos a way that’s really shockg and fun.” </p><p data-no-id="5" class="css-aeyldl et3p2gv0">A show like this, wh s long two-person scen that he scrib as “bullfights,” was as close to theater as he’s been on a set: 28 pag of dialogue to memorize and get through each day. A challenge, even if he hadn’t still been alg wh ridual bra fog om a mid-2020 se of Covid. But he relaxed and remd himself that he was prepared. “It was the first time I realized that my experience was my iend. Bee of my experience theater, I knew what to do to get ready to play the part. I knew how to be able to go to work at 6am, and be able to shoot all of my stuff one day.” He lghs. “Now, I didn’t know how to not suck at .”<br /></p><style data-emotn="css 1736von">{--data-embed-display:flex;-webk-align-ems:center;-webk-box-align:center;-ms-flex-align:center;align-ems:center;clear:both;display:-webk-box;display:-webk-flex;display:-ms-flexbox;display:flex;marg-bottom:0.9375rem;marg-left:to;marg-right:to;width:100%;}@media(m-width: 20rem){{width:100%;marg:0 to 0.9375rem;}}@media(m-width: 30rem){{width:100%;marg:0 to 0.9375rem;}}@media(m-width: 40.625rem){{width:100%;marg:0 to 0.9375rem;}}@media(m-width: 48rem){{width:100%;marg:0 to 0.9375rem;}}@media(m-width: 64rem){{width:100%;marg:0 to 0.9375rem;}}@media(m-width: 73.75rem){{width:100%;marg:0 to 0.9375rem;}}@media(m-width: 75rem){{width:100%;marg:0 to 0.9375rem;}}@media(m-width: 90rem){{width:100%;marg:0 to 0.9375rem;}} a span{right:1rem;} img{width:to;height:85vh;} a{display:-webk-le-box;display:-webk-le-flex;display:-ms-le-flexbox;display:le-flex;posn:var(--posn, relative);} img:not(.ewcw41w1){display:block;width:100%;height:to;-webk-align-self:flex-start;-ms-flex-em-align:flex-start;align-self:flex-start;}</style><div size="medium" data-embed="body-image" data-no-id="6" class="align-center size-medium embed css-1736von e1xqj1sx4"><style data-emotn="css uwraif">{width:100%;display:-webk-le-box;display:-webk-le-flex;display:-ms-le-flexbox;display:le-flex;-webk-flex-directn:lumn;-ms-flex-directn:lumn;flex-directn:lumn;marg-left:to;marg-right:to;-webk-box-pack:center;-ms-flex-pack:center;-webk-jtify-ntent:center;jtify-ntent:center;}</style><div class="css-uwraif e1xqj1sx3"><img alt="john benjam hickey" tle="john benjam hickey" loadg="lazy" width="2165" height="1367" dg="async" data-nimg="1" style="lor: transparent; width: 100%; height: to;" siz="100vw" srcSet=" 640w, 980w, 1120w, 1200w, 1920w" src="" class="css-0 exi4f7p0" /><style data-emotn="css swqnqv">@media(m-width: 20rem){{paddg-left:0rem;}}@media(m-width: 30rem){{paddg-left:0rem;}}@media(m-width: 40.625rem){{paddg-left:0rem;}}@media(m-width: 48rem){{paddg-left:0rem;}}@media(m-width: 64rem){{paddg-left:0rem;}}@media(m-width: 73.75rem){{paddg-left:0rem;}}@media(m-width: 75rem){{paddg-left:0rem;}}@media(m-width: 90rem){{paddg-left:0rem;}}</style><div class="css-swqnqv e1xqj1sx2"><style data-emotn="css 8h7i7x">{width:0;m-width:100%;paddg-top:0.625rem;letter-spacg:0.02rem;font-fay:Lsanne,Lsanne-fallback,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:0.875rem;le-height:1.3;} em, i{font-fay:her;font-style:alic;}</style><div class="css-8h7i7x e1xqj1sx1">John Benjam Hickey on the set of <em>Sublet</em>.</div><style data-emotn="css 1am3yn9">{paddg-left:0rem;le-height:1;}</style><figptn class="css-1am3yn9 enfs9c50"><span class="css-1mcfn5x e6iqd2">Courty</span></figptn></div></div></div><p data-no-id="7" class="css-aeyldl et3p2gv0">In his first episo, Aduba’s Brooke tells Hickey’s Col that most of her new patients e “ready to talk,” to which he repli, “Ah, but beg <em>ready</em> to talk and beg <em>able</em> to talk are two different thgs.” <em>Sublet</em>, om Eytan Fox, director of <em>Yossi</em> and <em>Yossi & Jagger</em>, is a film that is ready and able to talk. Hickey plays Michael, a melancholy travel wrer on assignment Tel Aviv, who rents the apartment of Tomer, a film stunt played by Niv Nissim, who shows him the cy. It’s a very clever queerg of the <em>Unr The Tn Sun</em> space—an exploratn of what Hickey lls “a generatnal divi that two broken-hearted people exist on oppose sis of.” Michael is “ a middle-aged malaise, havg had tragedy his life,” Hickey says, “and then also havg lived through what my character’s generatn–and me, and you–have lived through.” </p><p data-no-id="8" class="css-aeyldl et3p2gv0">One of the film’s many surpris is that tak that malaise straight on. Michael is not fightg for his survival the way he would have been not long ago; the pills we see him take, which would almost certaly have been HIV meditn for any middle-aged gay character up to this pot, might jt be stats. The qutn for this fifty-somethg character, for what feels like the first time on screen, is not “will he live,” but “<em>how</em> will he live?”</p><p data-no-id="9" class="css-aeyldl et3p2gv0">It’s a qutn Hickey’s thought a lot about. For the gay men of Generatn X, “’s like we’re no longer livg a war zone. That’s not to say that the lamy of AIDS is over, we still have to live wh utn and pnce. It’s jt manageable now. But g out of the nuclear crisis of that time, not livg a time when we’re fightg for our liv and our right to s at the table, you get to our ag, and you’re faced wh an existential crisis. Like, <em>what now?”</em></p><p data-no-id="10" class="css-aeyldl et3p2gv0">In the theater, Hickey’s had a chance to explore the qutns at length. “I’m a beneficiary of a good number of wrers who are medatg on that,” he says. He starred “The Inherance” on Broadway, a vast, two-part play that addrsed the post-AIDS crisis generatn gap, and 2015’s off- Broadway “Dada Woof Papa Hot,” he played a gay father wh a se of survivor’s guilt. “My character had a monologue where he said: this is gog to sound horrible, but I miss that time. We were more alive on the pla, we were so different om other people, and we had a sgle, laser foc, which was to stay alive and to save our brothers and sisters.” </p><p data-no-id="11" class="css-aeyldl et3p2gv0">Hickey don’t miss that time. But the qutn still troubl him: “If I have all the same thgs as a straight person, if my problems are the same as theirs, then what mak me gay? Michael <em>Sublet</em> is sufferg through that. I’m not sure he knows what he’s supposed to be livg for. It’s 30-somethg years after the worst part of the lamy, and here he is, and he’s thkg about havg children. He’s dog the unthkable.”</p><p data-no-id="12" class="css-aeyldl et3p2gv0">It's uncharted terrory, on screen and off. The first generatn of gay men to live their liv openly lost those liv to AIDS, whether they actually died or were jt left to tend to those who did. And we, the generatn right behd, lost our elrs. If we’re mired this existential malaise, ’s bee we haven’t had anyone to show the way out. </p><p data-no-id="13" class="css-aeyldl et3p2gv0">“I don’t want to rce to this, but this whole <em>daddy</em> thg. Or is <em>zaddy?” </em>he asks, and beats the hell out of me. “We didn’t have that vernacular, that subset of attractn, bee for that olr generatn, there was such a stggle gog on for them to survive. I wouldn’t go so far as to say they were <em>untouchable</em>, but they were alg wh somethg that was very clear and prent, a way that the younger generatns lookg up at now don’t see dog.”</p><div size="medium" data-embed="body-image" data-no-id="14" class="align-center size-medium embed css-1736von e1xqj1sx4"><div class="css-uwraif e1xqj1sx3"><img alt=" treatment" tle=" treatment" loadg="lazy" width="1584" height="1054" dg="async" data-nimg="1" style="lor: transparent; width: 100%; height: to;" siz="100vw" srcSet=" 640w, 980w, 1120w, 1200w, 1920w" src="" class="css-0 exi4f7p0" /><div class="css-swqnqv e1xqj1sx2"><figptn class="css-1am3yn9 enfs9c50"><span class="css-1mcfn5x e6iqd2">Courty</span></figptn></div></div></div><p data-no-id="15" class="css-aeyldl et3p2gv0">I tell John about <style data-emotn="css umdwtv">{-webk-text-ratn:unrle;text-ratn:unrle;text-ratn-thickns:.0625rem;text-ratn-lor:#FF3A30;text-unrle-offset:0.25rem;lor:her;-webk-transn:background 0.4s;transn:background 0.4s;background:lear-gradient(#ffffff, #ffffff 50%, #d5dbe3 50%, #d5dbe3);-webk-background-size:100% 200%;background-size:100% 200%;}{lor:#000000;text-ratn-lor:borr-lk-body-hover;-webk-background-posn:100% 100%;background-posn:100% 100%;}</style><a href=" target="_blank" data-vars-ga-outbound-lk=" data-vars-ga-ux-element="Hyperlk" data-vars-ga-ll-to-actn="my nversatn wh T.J.

A hickey is really jt a bise.</div><p>Hickeys are basilly jt broken blood vsels ed by suckg, which rults a bise. Though a b of bg or hard kissg uld ntribute to gettg a hickey, suckg is generally the culpr here, sce ’s more likely to burst your sk’s ty pillari. It don’t take long to get a hickey — 20 to 30 sends of targeted suckg n do the trick — and they often appear quickly, too. You might be surprised to emerge om a makeout ssn to the sight of a visible hickey as soon as five to 10 mut later!  Hickeys are also most likely to occur on softer, more sensive sk like the neck, shoulrs, and cht, though you n technilly get a hickey anywhere. </p><div role="headg" aria-level="3" class="headg-h3">2. Most hickeys look pretty siar. </div><p>What do a hickey look like, you ask? Generally after gettg a hickey, the blood unr the sk is dark red at first. Once dri out, though, turns to a darker purple or brown lor, creatg the marks we know and love (or hate, whatever). As your hickey begs to heal, may take on a yellowish lor, typil of most bis. (And if you’re wonrg how long hickeys last, we’ll get to that below.)</p><p>As far as size go, probably isn’t a surprise that most hickeys are mouth-sized and shaped. Meang? They’re ovular, and they aren’t necsarily all that large. Sometim, you might get more than one hickey at a time. That n give you the appearance of havg a larger hickey on the neck, for stance, sce your love b are likely to be cltered together. </p><div role="headg" aria-level="3" class="headg-h3">3. Do hickeys hurt?</div><p>Well, don’t feel like nothg. The sensatn leans more toward feelg prsure over pa, but bee everyone’s pa tolerance is different, some people may fd gettg a hickey unfortable. One thg to nsir if you’re experimentg wh this for the first time: Come up wh a safe word or an easy way for you to munite wh your partner (and vice versa) should anyone stop enjoyg the makeout ssn.</p><div role="headg" aria-level="3" class="headg-h3">4. They n last as long as two weeks.</div><p>There’s surprisgly ltle rearch done on hickeys, but the general nsens is that they rarely last longer than two weeks, wh many hickeys clearg up wh jt a few days. How long the mark stays on a person is up to the typ of hickeys at play (read: the harshns level of the suctn volved) and the health of the person affected. The more tense the hickey, the longer ’ll stick around, while the healthier the person is (thk: well-hydrated, good circulatn, enough iron), the shorter the hickey’s time on earth.</p><div role="headg" aria-level="3" class="headg-h3">5. How long do hickeys take to show up?</div><p>Hickey marks are gog to start showg up pretty quickly. Wh five to ten mut, light bisg n appear on the sk. It n also pend on how long you spend suckg the person’s sk. Twenty to thirty sends will do the trick, but the longer and harr someone sucks, the darker and more tense the bisg.</p><div role="headg" aria-level="3" class="headg-h3">6. They n show up at <em>any</em> age.</div><p>The neck, the shoulrs, and the cht are serly sensive to touch, meang that beg kissed there feels pretty credible. When you’re newer to <a href=">kissg</a> and still fe-tung how to give the Perfect Neck Kiss™, you’re more likely to be a ltle aggrsive wh your mouth, which is why hickeys tend to show <a data-offer-url=" class="external-lk" data-event-click="{"element":"ExternalLk","outgogURL":"" href=" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">up</a> more on younger or newer kissers. Wh substantial practice and the right partners, your kissg will probably ease to a ls hickey-centric mo. That said, pecially if you’re someone who really appreciat a good neckg, the ocsnal love be n show up at any age.</p><div role="headg" aria-level="3" class="headg-h3">7. Are some people more sceptible to hickeys?</div><p>Actually, y. If a body has lower levels of iron (formally referred to as an iron ficiency), will bise easier. This means won't take as much suctn to leave a mark. Unfortunately (or fortunately, pendg on who you ask), also means that will show up darker and stick around longer. This n be the same se for people wh th or sensive sk. In the s, the blood vsels ually live closer to the top of the sk and react quicker to irratn.</p><div role="headg" aria-level="3" class="headg-h3">8. Can you get a hickey on any part of the body?</div><p>Technilly, sure. But as mentned above, hickeys show up where sk is thner. To give someone a hickey on, say, a forearm or quad would be tougher than the neck or ner part of the elbow.</p><div role="headg" aria-level="3" class="headg-h3">9. Hickeys are serly no big al.</div><p>Ultimately, if you have a hickey that you were given a nsensual way, you jt have a bise, and ’s probably gog to be gone a few days. So try not to strs about if you're feelg worried! Likewise, if you’ve given someone a hickey they wanted (more on that below), as long as you’re both mted to keepg the suatn as rpectful as possible, ’s all good.</p><div style="outle:none" id="givehickey" tabx="-1"><h2>How to Give Someone a Hickey</h2></div><p>Givg someone a hickey is, really, pretty simple. After first askg if your makeout partner is fortable wh receivg a souvenir mark — particularly a visible one — warm up their neck or the tend se of the hickey wh some long kiss. Then, put your lips agast their sk and form an “O” wh your mouth. Draw your breath and suck; should create a b of a vacuum effect. Teeth aren’t need to e a hickey — suctn alone will do — but you <em>n</em> mix a b of light bg and nibblg here if your partner is terted that. After about 20 to 30 sends of unterpted suctn, you’re likely to have visible hickey rults wh the next few mut. </p></div></div></div><div class="GridItem-buujkM fVLMby grid--em grid-layout__asi"><div class="StickyBoxWrapper-jfYB kNleGZ sticky-box"><div class="StickyBoxPrimary-dzWDWL cdhYoN sticky-box__primary"><div class="Contaer-bkChBi byNLHx"></div><div class="AdWrapper-dQtivb fZrssQ ad ad--rail"><div class="ad__slot ad__slot--rail" data-no-id="e92pnl"></div></div><div class="ConsumerMarketgUnThemedWrapper-iUTMTf jssHut nsumer-marketg-un nsumer-marketg-un--display-rail" role="prentatn" aria-hidn="te"><div class="nsumer-marketg-un__slot nsumer-marketg-un__slot--display-rail"></div><div class="journey-un"></div></div></div><div class="StickyBoxPlaceholr-grPmrg dxAvXx"></div></div></div></div><div data-ttid="RowWrapper" class="RowWrapper-UmqTg HEhan full-bleed-ad row-mid-ntent-ad"><div class="StickyMidContentAdWrapper-fSBzwl drzyIa ad-stickymidntent"><div class="AdWrapper-dQtivb fZrssQ ad ad--mid-ntent should-hold-space"><div class="ad__slot ad__slot--mid-ntent" data-no-id="oll2k8"></div></div></div></div><div class="GridWrapper-cAzTTK kHBDeH grid grid-margs grid-ems-2 ArticlePageChunksGrid-hfxa bjczjj grid-layout--adrail narrow wi-adrail"><div class="GridItem-buujkM stRKV grid--em grid-layout__ntent"><div class="BodyWrapper-kufPGa XtZXd body body__ntaer article__body" data-journey-hook="client-ntent" data-ttid="BodyWrapper"><div class="body__ner-ntaer"><p>What if your partner is down to receive a hickey but would prefer wasn’t a super visible lotn?

Fd tips for what to put on a hickey to help heal below, as well as the bt ways to ver a hickey up.</p><div role="headg" aria-level="3" class="headg-h3">1. Use aloe vera and vams E and C. </div><p>As soon as you get a hickey, you n start applyg lotn wh aloe vera and vam E to the bise. This will help the broken pillari heal a b faster, and anti-flammatory aloe vera n assist wh swellg, too. Creams ntag Vam C may also help get you over the hickey healg fish le faster — jt be sure to have balanced expectatns gog to this. No topil solutn will zap a hickey overnight, but they <em>n</em> help wh the overall healg procs.</p><div role="headg" aria-level="3" class="headg-h3">2. Reach for a ld prs. </div><p>You n put an ice pack (wrapped a paper towel) on the hickey the first day. A packet of ozen peas is also great for this, and a ld spoon that you’ve stuck the eezer uld work a pch, too. (Freezer spoons are also an age-old hack for unreye circl!) No matter what you’re g as your ld prs, you’ll want to place directly on your hickey before slowly movg around the neighborg sk. Do this for about 10 mut, give your hickey a break of the same length, then reapply the ld prs. You n do this throughout the day, to slow blood flow to the area, and movg the prs will help to break up agulated blood, too. </p><div role="headg" aria-level="3" class="headg-h3">3. Try swchg over to a warm prs. </div><p>If you’ve had the hickey for two days, ’s time to try a warm prs. Applyg heat to the hickey will e blood flow to crease, which at this pot n actually help. (Note: if ’s before 48 hours, don’t do this — uld actually make the hickey bigger if you do early on when the blood vsels are still healg.) Somethg as simple as a towel soaked hot (but not sldgly hot!) water works well as a prs, or you n try g a hot water bottle. Even the heatg pad you e durg that time of the month n help here!</p><div role="headg" aria-level="3" class="headg-h3">4. Keep your hands off the hickey. </div><p>Other than applyg heat or ice, try to leave the hickey alone. Never scrape, overly massage, or otherwise prod and poke at your hickey, which at the very least will jt irrate the spot further and crease the hickey’s lifetime, but n also be serly damagg, and even lead to srrg.</p><div role="headg" aria-level="3" class="headg-h3">5. Use some peppermt oil.</div><p>Peppermt oil n help stimulate blood flow to the hickey area. It's bt to drop a uple of drops of diluted sential oil to a rrier oil like nut or olive oil. Before gog all , tt a ty b of the oil to the si of your forearm. This is lled sk patch ttg and n help you terme whether or not the oil will irrate your sk. Want to take one step further? Ask your partner to massive the oil to the spot of foc.</p><div role="headg" aria-level="3" class="headg-h3">6. Try arni.</div><p>Arni is a part of the sunflower fay, and topil and oral extractns of the herbaceo plant n help speed up the bise's healg procs. The typ of treatments are wily available most pharmaci.</p><div role="headg" aria-level="3" class="headg-h3">7.
