Territorial Markings

I am currently in a ddlg relationship which involves bdsm. Personally, my fiancé and I enjoy leaving markings on one another. It’s to show that that is our own territory and if anyone else were to see these, they would know we are off limits. I enjoy leaving hickies and bite marks, as well as leaving deep scratches in his back which turn to permanent scarring. For me, he leaves behind handprints on my ass from spanking, hickies, bite marks and the occasional burn. I feel like these are common ground in a lot of relationships
