How to stop mating bites?

My pup is a bit….mouthy and I am concerned that when the day comes he will bite my neck/shoulder while on my back, is there a way to prevent/mitigate this?

I’m thinking about wearing a hoodie so he has something to bite that isn’t my skin lol.
 
are you jumping straight from playful bites to sex?
when does he get "mouthy" now? during regular play?

have you tried the "put a chewing toy in" method? worked for me, tho my girl wasn't that big on playful bites so it never really became any issue...
 
No, we aren’t having sex yet, it’s just something I’m concerned with because he is so fixated on putting his teeth on me whenever I pet him, it’s all play, he licks and throws paws. I will admit that I encorporate some gentle sheath touching to get him used to me doing so for the future.

How old is your dog? When puppies are young, and especially still teething, they are nippy and mostly use their mouths to explore everything. This will naturally decrease as the pup’s adult teeth come in, but it’s very important to start working on bite inhibition now if the dog is younger to ensure that he doesn’t develop a biting issue later on into adulthood.
 
Most puppies go through stage where they get "mouthy" for one reason or another. Some (both owners and pups) need training to avoid making it a long term habit.
 
I'm guessing that is how puppies behave at that age and eventually it will pass ? I think if you Yelp or scold him he will definetly get the message
 
Um. What age did you get him (separate him from other pups)?
Not biting hard for pkay is something they usually learn as pups in the litter

Easy way:
You play with him. When he bites/bites too hard, no shooing or getting angry. You just stop the play and turn around. Even leave the room if needed, then, soon after that resume playing.
*repeat*

It takes little for them to learn if they play too hard, game ends.

Very true. Honestly I like little nips, mouthiness or play bites but if he is too rough it has to stop. Don’t be mean or anything just stop the fun. He’ll learn quick.
