What Is A Rainbow Kiss?
The phrase "rainbow kiss" may make one immediately think of makeup trends, twinkies in one's mouth, or even sweetened cocktails. However, you may be surprised to learn that the phrase actually refers to something more. A rainbow kiss is typically shared by a male and a female, though there are exclusions. The exchange of bodily fluids, specifically menstrual blood and sperm, is part of the act between the two partners. This is a kiss between a woman on her period and the other person, who is usually a man. He gets blood in his mouth after performing oral sex on her. Then she has oral sex with him and acquires male reproductive cells in her mouth. They then kiss and mix the contents of their mouths.

Rainbow Kiss Meaning
A rainbow kiss, according to some, is when someone goes down on their partner while they are on their period. Then they come up for the kiss, their face all nice and bloody. Both parties get that signature red smear by eating someone out while they're on their period before making out. For some, the definition of a rainbow kiss ends with a natural smooch. Others, on the other hand, take the rainbow kiss a step further. In addition to oral during someone's period, the person on their period repays the favour by blowing their partner until they orgasm. The two parties then kiss, combining the two fluids in a sticky makeout session.

Whats A Rainbow Kiss?
Traditionally, a rainbow kiss incorporates two people giving and receiving oral sex at the same time, while the female is on her period. Tanouye explains, "The goal is to climax together and kiss after mixing menstrual blood from one partner with semen from the other partner in their mouths during the kiss." According to Sadie Allison, PhD, and TickleKitty.com founder, one of the ways people can enjoy period sex is to give a rainbow kiss. "Like the hundreds of other fetishes out there, this 'unique' activity is perfectly fine to do as long as it's agreed upon by two consenting adults," Allison adds. She also suggests that couples who perform the rainbow kiss experiment with flavoured lube to "add a new dimension to their sensory play."

Risks Of A Rainbow Kiss
Tanouye compares the health problems associated with a rainbow kiss to the infection transfer risks that come with any type of unprotected sex, stating that you can transmit HIV, hepatitis, gonorrhoea, herpes, syphilis, and chlamydia. Tanouye explains that these can all be transmitted through bodily fluids during oral sex and amplified by blood exposure. While performing the rainbow kiss, partners are not only sharing sperm but also blood; it's not just STIs or HIV to be concerned about; hepatitis is also a possibility. MSPH Rick Sowadsky addresses explicitly the risks of blood exchanges on "The Body," an HIV/AIDS resource page, saying that "if you chug the blood of a person who is infected with HIV, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and other bloodborne diseases (whether they are experiencing signs or not), you would be at a considerable risk for these diseases." The part as to whether or not they have symptoms is critical: someone can appear healthy while still carrying these diseases in their blood.
