Legend has it that in ancient Japan, women who were found to be unfaithful were publicly humiliated in the town center by being tied up while every man in town ejaculated all over her to show his distaste. Basically, they were saying that if you're going to take it from someone else, you're going to get it from everyone else.

In the mid to late 80's, Japanese porn producers were looking to push the envelope for their ever demanding crowd of facial customers. The first films usually featured a schoolgirl or secretary who willingly submits to one man after another. They come from everywhere off camera to shower her with ejaculate at just the right moment. As each man finishes, he silently leaves and another quickly takes his place. In some cases, the girl has sex with each man before he ejaculates on her face.

Demand for such films, now called Bukkake, skyrocketed. By the late 90's, it had evolved into its own genre. Gay men began to experiment with the practice in ritual initiation ceremonies. American and European filmmakers were quick to follow the Japanese lead, adding their trademark stylish flow along with a line of willing porn starlets who were ready to be covered in cum.

Bukkake remains somewhat of a fringe practice, but it's roots have grown deep all over the world. Amateur bukkake parties have generated a cult like following. Ritual bukkake initiation ceremonies often preclude membership in private bukkake societies. Videos, dvds and web sites dedicated to bukkake are growing in number daily.
