Bukkake is a group sex practice seen in pornography where a series of men take turns to ejaculate on a kneeling woman or man. At the end of the process, the recipient usually drinks the semen. There are strong overtones of erotic humiliation in this practice.
The practice is said to have originated in Japan. Bukkake is a verbal noun in Japanese. The verb bukkakeru (to dash [water]) can be decomposed into two verbs: butsu (ぶつ) and kakeru (掛ける). Butsu literally means to hit, but in this usage it appears to be an intensive prefix as in buttamageru (ぶったまげる) or butchigiri (ぶっちぎり). Kakeru means to shower or pour. Indeed, bukkake is more common used in Japan to describe a type of dish where the toppings are poured on top of noodles, as in bukkake-udon and bukkake-soba. Similarly, the sexual meaning of the word bukkake presumably refers to the act of dashing semen on a woman's face.
It is possible that bukkake was an ancient Japanese feudal punishment. There is a misconception that bukkake is a recent invention of the fetish pornography industry. In fact, much of the bukkake pornography consists of amateur home movies made by people who enjoy the sex act on or off camera. Many women have gone public regarding their sexual enjoyment of bukkake. Prominent examples include Dr. Susan Block and Catherine Millet.
A number of sources have stated that Bukkake may have a non-obvious risk of infection by HIV and other blood-borne infections such as hepatitis through semen contacting the surface of the eye.
