Bukkake describes a sexual activity where a group of people masturbate over and ejaculate on another person. The aim of bukkake is to cover the person's body with as much seminal fluid as possible, although it may also refer to ejaculating on a person's face or in their open mouth.

What are the origins of bukkake?

The practice of bukkake is believed to have originated in Japanese pornographic films in the early '80s, and comes from the Japanese word for "splash." Because what can be shown in pornographic films in Japan is highly censored, Japanese porn tends to focus more on the face and the body than on the genitals. In bukkake scenes, the recipients face would be shown, but the genitals of those ejaculating would be pixelated.

"Mascot Note" (1986) is said to be one of the first pornographic films made where bukkake practices are present. Porn historians believe the genre came to the U.S. in the late '90s. Interestingly, it may have been American fans of bukkake who pushed the genre in new directions and toward new, independent fetishes, including gokkun. In 2023, search for the genre on Pornhub turns up tens of thousands of results. It has clearly spawned many different many different variations, as some of the key areas of interest in this genre of porn include searches for trans bukkake, gay bukkake and BBW bukkake. Many people also like to see their favorite adult stars receive bukkake.

Bukkake is sometimes referred to as bukkake fetish or cum fetish.

More About Bukkake

The number of people involved in bukkake can vary from two or three to more than 100. Although a woman was traditionally and is still often the recipient of bukkake, the practice has spread to gay pornography, in which several males ejaculate on another male.

What does this fetish look like in action?

In bukkake porn, the receiving partner is typically portrayed as a willing participant who sometimes swallows the ejaculate. They typically kneel on the ground or sit on a couch to receive the attention of those performing the bukkake. The recipient may also be tied up using Shibari bondage techniques or dressed up like a schoolgirl, stewardess, or another submissive character. Participants may arrange themselves in a circle around the recipient before masturbating to ejaculation.

A game that springs from bukkake, dubbed Mushy Biscuit, involves participants masturbating over a biscuit. Whoever ejaculates last must consume the biscuit.

There is another variation of bukkake where the seminal fluid is collected in a vessel and then poured over the female participant. Cum play, such as snowballing or using the ejaculate as shampoo or lubricant for hand jobs, oral sex, and sexual intercourse may also be elements of bukkake.

While the female participant tends to take a submissive role, some women who have experienced bukkake say they feel empowered by being the center of attention during this sexual activity.

Is bukkake safe?

Generally, bukkake is considered safe as long as seminal fluid is not ingested or put on open areas of skin. This could pose a risk of STI transmission. If seminal fluid gets near the vagina, pregnancy is also possible. As with all extreme sex acts, full negotiation and consent should also be obtained from all participants.
