Bukkake listen (help·info) is a group sex practice that features a woman being ejaculated on by multiple men.^[1]

Theories as to the historical origins of bukkake vary, but one theory is that bukkake was popularized in Japan by Japanese adult video companies in the first half of the 1970s. The term Bukkake was popularized in the United States by radio host Howard Stern when he mentioned the website Bukkake.com on his nationally syndicated radio program. Controversy arose regarding the meaning of the word when station managers began censoring its use, inadvertently creating more interest.

Some European pornographers also explore this fetish as the main feature of videos. The most popular titles made in the occident are Baker's Dozen by Brandon Iron, American Bukkake by JM Productions, and German Goo Girls by German producer John Thompson. A practice sometimes called gay bukkake, and lesbian bukkake, has surfaced in pornographic movies.

Bukkake is the noun form of the Japanese verb bukkakeru (打っ掛ける, to dash [water]), and means simply "splash" or "dash." 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 butchigiri (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.

On porn websites, it is often claimed that the pornographic fetish had its origins in an old Japanese practice of publically ejaculating on an adulterous woman as punishment. While often repeated on such sites, there are no references showing that this has any basis in reality.

It is to be assumed that a significant factor in the development of bukkake as a pornographic art form was the mandatory censorship of genitalia (porn mosaic) in Japan. Since the directors could not show penetration they sought new, visually-appealing ways to approach sex acts that would satisfy the audience without violating Japanese law. Semen was not required to be censored, thus creating a loophole for harder sex scenes.

In March 2005 the owner of an American adult bookstore chain was indicted by the federal government for, among other things, distribution of obscenity. Among the six named movies were American Bukkake 7 and 8.^[3]

On 31 May 2006, owners and distributors of the American company JM Productions were indicted for distribution of obscenity; one of the four named movies was American Bukkake 13 which the U.S. Department of Justice considers to be obscene.^[4]

Some have described bukkake as a fetish culture beyond sex. Some authors claim that bukkake is symbolic group rape, and its primary purpose is the humiliation, degradation and objectification of women. ^[5] Others, however, claim that it is simply a facade for enjoyable homoeroticism.
