The term "rainbow kiss" might evoke images of makeup trends or a mouth full of skittles. Or maybe, you're curious about the term after watching one or two TikToks showing before and after reactions to discovering the term. If you're here because you fell down that rabbit hole of curiosity, you might be surprised to discover that the phrase actually refers to a sex act—specifically, a different take on oral. A rainbow kiss usually involves someone with a uterus and someone with a penis, though there are variations to it.
The act includes the exchange of bodily fluids—specifically menstrual blood and semen—between the two partners. While some might be turned off at the idea of bringing menstrual blood into the mix when it comes to sex, Carolanne Marcantonio, LMSW, an AASECT-certified sex therapist and co-founder of Wise Sex Therapy Associates, says acts that involve this fluid can actually bring people closer together.
But others engage in rainbow kisses simply because they get pleasure out of trying new things. It's important to remember, though, that exchanging bodily fluids does come with certain health risks, so always use caution if you're not doing it with a trusted partner, adds Tanouye. She specializes in sex, sexuality, gender, relationships, and trauma. A rainbow kiss traditionally involves two people giving and receiving oral sex simultaneously, while one person is on their period.
Tanouye explains. The combination of blood and semen is what creates a rainbow kiss, adds Marcantonio. Rainbow kisses join a long list of bodily fluid-related kinks and fetishes.

Per Richman, these include:. When it comes to the health risks associated with a rainbow kiss, Dr. Tanouye says they're similar to the infection transmission risks that come with any type of unprotected sex—meaning, you can transmit HIV, hepatitis, gonorrhea, herpes, syphilis, and chlamydia. All of these STIs can be transmitted through bodily fluids during oral sex and may be increased with exposure to blood, she explains.
