Bukkake or bukake is a practice of group sex where a series of men take turns ejaculating on a person, either a man or a woman.

Origin

There is a common myth that the origin of this sexual practice dates back to the Japanese dynastic era, when bukkake was used as a sexual punishment for a woman; commonly, this practice was used to punish crimes of infidelity. However, there are no records of such practice. During the dynastic and feudal era, the punishment for adultery was capital punishment.

In modern day, bukkake was popularized in Japan by various adult video companies such as milky.tv Shuttle Japan Soft on Demand and Moodyz in the first half of the 1990s. It is assumed that a significant factor in the development of bukkake is the mandatory censorship of porn in Japan through the introduction of mosaics in the scenes. Since the directors couldn't show pubic hair or images of vaginal or anal penetration, they had to invent new visually stunning ways to satisfy the audience without violating Japanese laws.

Etymology

Bukkake is the noun form of the Japanese verb bukkakeru (打っ掛ける), 'to throw water' or 'to splash'; in turn, it can be broken down into two verbs: butsu (ぶつ) and kakeru (掛ける). Butsu means 'to reach', but used as indicates that the subsequent action is fully accomplished. Since kakeru means 'to water' or 'to pour', it is understandable that in Japanese it is commonly used to describe the pouring of water or other liquids in sufficient quantity to fill or drench something.

Also, bukkake is used in Japan to describe a type of dish made by pouring hot broth over noodles, such as bukkake-udon and bukkake-soba.
