Got to be somebody's nephew.Watch all of it...
Second Life has taught me a lot. Don't think I'd heard of bukkake before Second Life.
The answer to how old the word is in American non noodly use is 1986.Second Life has taught me a lot. Don't think I'd heard of bukkake before Second Life.
Don't know how to say the word, so I was never at risk of accidentally including it in a random out loud sentence.
Curious about how old the word is, I found a picture associated with bukkake I decided to post, because, why not?
Etymology
Bukkake is the noun form of the Japanese verb bukkakeru (ぶっ掛ける, to dash or sprinkle water), and means "to dash", "splash", or "heavy splash". The compound verb can be decomposed into a prefix and a verb: butsu (ぶつ) and kakeru (掛ける). Butsu is a prefix derived from the verb "buchi", which literally means "to hit", but the usage of the prefix is a verb-intensifier.
Kakeru in this context means to shower or pour. The word bukkake is often used in Japanese to describe pouring out a liquid with sufficient momentum to cause splashing or spilling. Indeed, bukkake is used in Japan to describe a type of dish where hot broth is poured over noodles, as in bukkake udon and bukkake soba.
It also notes there's a popular belief that its origins are as a punishment for adulterous women in medieval Japan, whereas the actual form of punishment used was decapitation. Which seems a bit worse, don't you think?History
Bukkake was first represented in pornographic films in the mid to late 1980s in Japan. According to one commentator, a significant factor in the development of bukkake as a pornographic form was the mandatory censorship in Japan where genitals must be pixelated by a "mosaic". One consequence of this is that Japanese pornography tends to focus more on the face and body of actresses rather than on their genitals. Since film producers could not show penetration, they sought other ways to depict sex acts without violating Japanese law and since semen did not need to be censored, a loophole existed for harder sex scenes.
