The story of the bukkake, from punishment for unfaithful women to porn fetish.
A woman is surrounded by several men who masturbate until they ejaculate on her face. What is the origin of this strange practice in hardcore pornography?
Just type bukkake in the PornHub search engine (the most famous pornography site in the world) to find a list of more than 20 thousand results that have in common one typical scene and full of absurdities that govern the porn industry:
A woman lies on the floor (usually on her knees), while a group of men stand around her and begin to masturbate in front of her until they ejaculate on her face. In contemporary pornographic productions, it is common for women to appear completely aroused and to practice oral sex one by one to stimulate men. The scene passes between endless penises and a woman who looks desperate to touch them; putting them in her mouth and making them feel pleasure. A simple object placed in the center of the wheel that turns anxiously looking for semen, which can fall on the forehead, eyes and cheekbones or inside its mouth. Tears never hurt: producers say they add drama and excitement to the scene.
What can we say about bukkake without you and your friends starting to imagine an extremely perverted scene? Maybe it's a frustrated desire that you have and with which you joke whenever you can. However, have you ever stopped to think about what women think and feel about it?
It is a denigrating and a male practice revived by the porn industry. It is enough to trace its origins to confirm it and to know its beginnings as a form of torture that refers to the humiliation of women.
Beyond the morbid or disgusting thing that can be considered this act, historically bukkake was a millennial punishment from Japan. In the seventh century BC when a woman cheated on her husband, he punished her and humiliated her by allowing strangers to throw semen on her body.
Do you think it's an excessive punishment? The bukkake for ancient Japanese culture would be something similar to spitting someone in the face in modern times. How did it become a sexual practice spread around the world? In the 70s, Japanese erotic cinema began to recreate this practice, as an alternative measure to satisfy the audience without violating the censorship laws in Japan.
As in Japan it is forbidden to show pubic hair or vaginal penetration images, the porn directors wondered what they could show in the frame that had the same sexual intensity. It was then that they remembered their little punishment. Does your remembrance seem misogynistic to you?
What is clear is that the celebration and filming of bukkakes is a practice in vogue and in spite of being still a category considered as "extreme" and not included in accepted or commercial ones, it is evident that it is one more feature of the reification of women, as a repository of pleasure.
