Bukkake

What is BUKKAKE??

Bukkake is a sex act in which one participant is ejaculated on by two or more other participants.


The sexual act known commonly as Bukkake. A group of men take turns ejaculating on to a woman’s face.

Bukkake videos are a relatively prevalent niche in contemporary pornographic films. Originating in Japan in the 1980s, the genre subsequently spread to North America and Europe.

buu-KAK-ay

Bukkake is the noun form of the Japanese verb bukkakeru and means “to dash”, “splash”, or “heavy splash”.

In Japanese, the word bukkake has extensive non-sexual use, such as this food advertising bukkake udon noodles.

History

Bukkake was first represented in pornographic films in the mid to late 1980s in Japan.[ According to one commentator, a significant factor in the development of bukkake as a pornographic form was the mandatory censorship in Japan where genitals must be pixelated by a “mosaic”. One consequence of this is that Japanese pornography tends to focus more on the face and body of actresses rather than on their genitals. Since film producers could not show penetration, they sought other ways to depict sex acts without violating Japanese law and since semen did not need to be censored, a loophole existed for harder sex scenes.

The Japanese adult video studio Shuttle Japan registered the term “ぶっかけ/BUKKAKE” as a trademark (No. 4545137) in January 2001.

The practice then spread from Japan to the United States and then Europe in the late 1990s. The appearance of bukkake videos was part of a trend towards “harder” pornography in the 1990s, preceded by a fashion for double penetration videos in the mid-1990s, and occurring in parallel to the appearance of gang bang videos towards the end of that decade. There was an economic advantage for Western pornographers to produce bukkake films since they only require one actress, and often amateur male performers whose pay-rates are low. In Japanese bukkake videos, female performers are frequently dressed as office ladies or in school uniforms, and they are being humiliated.

Reception

A number of authors have described bukkake as premised on humiliation. Forensic psychologist Karen Franklin has described bukkake as symbolic group rape, characterising its primary purpose as the humiliation, degradation and objectification of women. Lisa Jean Moore and Juliana Weissbein view the use of ejaculation in bukkake as part of a humiliation ritual. Feminist anti-pornography activist Gail Dines describes the money shot of a man ejaculating on the face or body of a woman, taken to a new extreme in bukkake through the involvement of multiple men, as “one of the most degrading acts in porn”.

Another Japanese variant of bukkake is gokkun, in which several men ejaculate into a container for the receiver to drink.

Gokkun is a Japanese term for sexual activity in which a person consumes the semen of one or more people, usually from some kind of container. Commonly used containers include cups, large beakers, bowls, baking pans, and wine or cocktail glasses. Most of these scenarios involve the semen of multiple men.

“Gokkun” can also refer to the sexual act of swallowing semen after performing fellatio or participating in a bukkake. The word “gokkun” is onomatopoetic, and translates roughly as the English word “gulp”, the sound made by swallowing.
