In a sexual context, creampie is the act of ejaculating inside a sexual partner, often so the semen drips out of them. People can creampie inside a partner’s vagina, anus, or mouth using a penis or ejaculating dildo. The term creampie is most commonly used in the porn industry, where it is desirable to show semen seeping out of someone's body, like cream seeping out of a pie.

The History of Creampies in Pornography

Creampie scenes began appearing in pornography in the 1990s, following a move towards using condoms in porn in the 1980s and early 1990s. During the start of the HIV crisis in the 1980s, condom use was heavily promoted. These contraceptives became more common and accepted among this generation as a result.

Since many people became used to sex with condoms, pornography featuring creampie scenes became a point of difference. Creampie scenes following barrier-free ejaculation became popular because ejaculating inside another person had become a more taboo sex act.

“Creampies spread in porn as the result of the efforts of a group of porn fans who first created the website creampie.com as an aggregator of scenes they liked,” explained Sara Brown of Lustery, an ethical porn website featuring videos submitted by real-life couples, including creampie videos. “Porn archivists Jen Vanzetti and Peter Van Aarle, who are also the creators of IAFD, the Internet Adult Film Database (the IMDB of adult films) started this project in 1994 in response to what they considered a lack of variety in porn. Then, they moved on to host original content on the site, effectively coining the term ‘creampie’ as we still use it today. They even defined specific rules of how this type of content needed to be shot. Creampies then became one of the most popular genres in porn in the early 2000s, with uncountable creampie-devoted websites proliferating since then … until in 2013, they were the second most-searched term on Pornhub.”

The creampie represented a massive change in the production of porn. In the past, ejaculation scenes in porn focused primarily on visible moments of semen erupting from the penis, often being aimed at another performer’s face, chest/breasts, or genitals. The belief was that if the orgasm was not seen, then there was no way the viewer would fully believe it had happened. However, creampie porn used the footage of semen oozing out of the body as proof of "real" sex.

Why are people into creampies?

Many people enjoy giving creampies because they feel sex without condoms feels better. They say that these barriers dampen the sensations of sex and prefer the skin-to-skin contact of giving creampies. Many people find watching semen drip from their partner or someone else visually appealing. Some people also enjoy the sensations of receiving creampies, such as the feeling of semen dripping out of their body and across their skin.

Both givers and receivers may enjoy the intimacy of sex without condoms. They may feel more connected to their partner emotionally, as well as physically. The intimacy of sex without condoms is often apparent in porn, leading many people to prefer videos featuring creampies.

Creampies can also be a fun element of power play. A dominant might mark their partner with their semen or order a submissive partner to lick up or suck out their semen, an act called felching.

Creampies are also taboo and often fetishized. Therefore they can appeal to people who enjoy sex featuring acts outside accepted social norms, including people with a creampie fetish.

More About Creampie

Creampie Porn

Creampie porn aims to appeal to anyone who enjoys watching this act, including creampie fetishists. In pornography, ejaculating on a partner is often referred to as a "money shot." Ejaculating inside of a partner, therefore, is sometimes called a "reverse money shot." Creampie porn usually features vaginal creampies, as these are the most common during penis-in-vagina sex. There are also some subgenres of creampie porn, including:

Anal creampie: Featuring an anal creampie, sometimes called a reverse money shot, breeding, or seeding
Oral creampie: Featuring a creampie in the mouth, sometimes called a throatpie, after fellatio. This creampie may be swallowed or simply drip out of the mouth and down the chin.
Accidental creampie: Featuring creampies when one or both actors don’t intend for ejaculation inside the body to occur
Gangpie: Featuring group sex where one or more people either give or receive creampies
Hentai creampie: Featuring animated scenes with creampies
BDSM creampie: Featuring a dominant either giving a creampie to show their dominance or receiving the creampie, then asking the submissive to lick the semen out of their vagina or anus (felching)
Cuckold: Featuring a cuck forced to lick another person’s semen from their partner’s vagina or anus (felching).

Risks of Creampies

Barrier-free ejaculation, in porn and away from the cameras, always carries a risk of passing sexually transmitted infections between partners. This risk exists with vaginal, anal and oral creampies. Because of the risks of sharing sexual fluids, health experts recommend reserving creampies for fluid-bonded partners or at least people who know each other’s current STI status.

Vaginal creampies can also result in pregnancy. Couples who don’t want to conceive can reduce this risk by choosing barrier-free contraceptives like hormonal contraceptives or an IUD, avoiding vaginal creampies, or playing with ejaculating dildos.

Brown encourages people to speak openly about their STI status and interest in creampies.

"If the receiving partner gives explicit consent, you can start discussing what each of you finds hot in this practice. You can transform this conversation into a foreplay dirty talk where you negotiate the details of how you’ll do it and manage expectations – it can be part of a kinky role play or a D/s power dynamic," she said.

"On the contrary, if your partner isn’t interested or doesn’t feel safe enough because of the risks of unprotected sex, you may want to find a turnaround. Suppose condoms are your contraceptive of choice, and you don’t have any recent negative STI test results to show to each other. In that case, you may want to avoid engaging in a creampie. Whereas if your concern is getting pregnant and you only use condoms, you may want to consider other birth control methods or avoid vaginal creampies. In the meantime, you could explore creampie conversations as part of your dirty talk or sexting, where you play together with the fantasy of it without actually engaging with it."
