Bukkake (Japanese: ブッカケ) pronunciation is a group sex practice that features a female subject being ejaculated on by multiple men.[1] Theories as to the historical origins of bukkake vary, but one is that bukkake was started by Japanese adult video companies during the 1970s and 1980s.[citation needed]

Etymology

Bukkake is the noun form of the Japanese verb bukkakeru (打っかける, meaning "to splash forcefully." The compound verb 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, "completely astonished") or bucchigiri (ぶっちぎり, "overwhelming win"). Kakeru in this context means to shower or pour. The word bukkake is often used in Japanese to describe pouring out water (or other liquids) with sufficient momentum to cause splashing or spilling.[2] Indeed, bukkake is 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.

It can be assumed that a significant factor in the development of bukkake as a pornographic art form was the mandatory censorship of genitalia in Japan. Since the directors could not show penetration they sought other ways to depict sex acts without violating Japanese law. Semen was not required to be censored, thus creating a loophole for harder sex scenes.

Sociology

Some feminists have described bukkake as a fetish culture beyond sex. Others claim that bukkake is symbolic group rape, and its primary purpose is the humiliation, degradation and objectification of women.[3] It has also been called a "ritualized humiliation of someone who evokes resentment" and an expression of male loss of control due to the reality of increasing female social influence in society.[2] Still others view it as a laudable example of liberation and the growth of sexual rights both in the East and in the West.[citation needed]
