Historical Evolution Timeline
The act of shooting in the face is not a modern invention; its symbolism can be traced back centuries, from literary taboos to standard endings in adult films.
- Antiquity and the Renaissance (2000 BC – 18th century):Ancient EgyptMurals and ancient Roman art occasionally depict rituals involving the application of semen to the face, symbolizing fertility and the sacred. In 1785, the French nobleman Marquis de Sade first recorded this in literature in his novel *The 120 Days of Sodom*: "I sprayed my semen on their faces...it was my passion." Reason: taboo and symbol of power; the audience/reader felt shock and moral conflict.
- 19th century – 1970s:Victorian eraSexual topics were taboo, with no mainstream records. The "golden age" of hardcore American adult films in the 1970s introduced the "money shot," with facials becoming the standard ending (as in *Deep Throat*, 1972). Reason: to visually demonstrate orgasm (avoiding concerns about contraception) and enhance the film's watchability.
- 1980s–2000sWith the rise of the Internet, facial videos have spread widely.Japanese AVinventionbukkake(Multiple people shooting faces), emphasizing extreme visuals. Reason: Technological advancements and globalization have transformed the audience's experience from taboo to a normalized form of stimulation.
- 2010–2025The increase in female creators and the rise of voluntary facial content symbolize a power reversal. Pornhub data from 2025 shows that facial-related searches accounted for over 401 TP3T of heterosexual videos. Reasons: Sexual liberation and diversity inclusion, with viewers experiencing emotional connection and exploration.

Detailed gameplay steps
Shooting on the face emphasizes visual and synchronous engagement, requiring the establishment of trust. Total duration depends on foreplay (30–90 minutes).
- Warm-up and agreement (0–20 minutes)Discuss boundaries (e.g., "Can I ejaculate around the eyes?"), and set safe words. Engage in ample foreplay (oral sex, hand sex) to bring the man closer to the edge (delaying edging 2-3 times).
- Positioning preparationThe recipient kneels or lies down with their head tilted back 15–30 degrees. The practitioner stands or kneels on top, holding the penis to control its direction (at a distance of 10–30 cm).
- Execution steps:
- When you're close to climax, say "Ready," and the recipient should close their eyes or open their mouth.
- Pull it out, hold the base and gently press to control the force and direction (aiming at the forehead, cheek, or lips).
- Hold the bottle lightly when firing to avoid spraying too far.
Advanced variants:
- Ice and Fire Version: Drink iced/hot beverages before climax to create a temperature contrast.
- Blindfolded version: Adds unknown surprises.
- Language version: While shooting, he said, "Look, I've marked you."
endingGently wipe with a wet tissue (do not rub your eyes), and hug to confirm your feelings.
Safety ReminderSemen in the eyes can cause irritation (due to its acidic components) and may transmit STIs. Use a condom during foreplay and avoid direct contact.
Detailed Explanation of Psychological Satisfaction
The attraction of being shot on the face comes from both physiological and psychological levels, and both parties can be satisfied.
- The caster (the one who shoots) satisfies:
- Conquest and marking: symbolizing "territorial possession" and satisfying the primal desire for domination.
- Visual achievement: Seeing semen covering the face is proof of the intensity of the orgasm.
- Taboo liberation: breaking norms and releasing repression.
- The recipient satisfies:
- Feelings of desire: making the other person lose control and reach orgasm, feeling "I am so powerful".
- Surrender pleasure: voluntary acceptance, leading to trust and intimate climax.
- Power reversal: Modern women often take the initiative, symbolizing control.
- Common satisfactionOxytocin release strengthens the bond. Studies show that facial images accompanied by expressions of pleasure are rated positively (Archives of Sexual Behavior 2022).
- Negative risksWithout communication, one may feel humiliated and require care afterward.
