Learning the significance of a rainbow k!ss has left some people horrified.
Though many NSFW trends go viral from the Alabama hot pocket to fluid bonding, none are nearly as eyebrow-raising as the rainbow k!ss.
Though it sounds like a benign term, those who searched it on Google report they are “scarred for life.”
People have gone to social media and conveyed their horror after seeing TikTok on what the trend comprises.
“I am shaking,” says one person.
Still another says: “I should never have searched that….”
“I’m never going to do that,” a third TikToker pledges.
“Scarred for life,” someone else says simply.
While a fifth individual notes: “People need to stop.”

What then precisely is a rainbow k!ss?
The explicit term describes physical fluids being exchanged between a person having a uterus and a person having a p**is.
Usually in the 69 position, it differs in that one individual is on their period.
The couples k!ss following e***uation, one with s**en in their mouth and the other with menstrual blood in theirs, therefore combining the two and producing a rainbow.
Often confused with “snowballing,” which describes someone e***uling into another’s mouth, k!ssing them, and sucking the s**en back into their own, is They then alternately swap the s**en back and forth.
The rainbow k!ss probably began as the 69 position, according to Atlanta-based s** educator and founder of The Sensible S**pert, Dr Wendasha Jenkins Hall, PhD.
She advises Cosmopolitan: “This is a level up from that.”
Above all, is the rainbow k!ss safe to carry out?
Everybody must be of age and actively consenting to carry out the deed.
Knowing whether the other person has s**ually transmitted diseases (STIs) is crucial since following this trend makes them rather easy to pass on.
If you have bleeding gums or cuts in your mouth or ulcers, you should avoid rainbow k!sses since this raises your risk of HIV as well.
“Semen and period blood can carry lots of different infectious particles, such as HIV, syphilis, and hepatitis,” Heather Irobunda, MD advises Cosmopolitan. You should not be sharing rainbow k!sses if you are unclear about the STD status of your companion.
Should you be single, you should get tested before engaging in s** with someone for the first time and they should follow suit. Your S**ual Health advises testing every three to six months.
