A cum shot is the act of a male ejaculating onto, rather than into, a sexual partner.

This is quite common as a literally climactic final scene within pornographic movies. Normally a cum shot is received on the face of the recipient, sometimes referred to as a facial. However vaginal, anal and breast cum shots are commonplace - it must be noted that to be classified as a cum shot the semen must be clearly visible.

The cum shot provides the viewer with a sense of realism, especially if the scene is filmed continuously from intercourse to cum shot. It also helps the viewer to determine the end of a scene. Often it is referred to as the money shot stemming from the fact that the actors have finished their job and earned their money. It also serves to objectify and degrade the recipient. This is often important if the recipient is to be portrayed as submissive or a slut.
