Snowballing (sexual practice)

From Free net encyclopedia

For other uses of the word, see Snowballing

Snowballing or semen swapping is a human sexual practice in which one person takes into their mouth the semen of another person, and then 'swaps' it back and forth with another person through kissing or spitting.

In a heterosexual context, snowballing may appeal to a male who wishes to adopt a passive or submissive role (which conventional fellatio does not entail). Alternatively, a couple may simply find pleasure in the sharing of an experience. The egg yolk swapping scene from the Japanese film Tampopo is likely a parody of the practice.

Snowballing is often featured in pornography, sometimes as part of a practice called bukkake. Here, men generally adopt the dominant role, and semen is passed between women's mouths.

Because snowballing involves the exchange of bodily fluids without any barrier, it is not a form of safer sex. Risks are presumably similar to those of unprotected fellatio.

Use of the term in popular culture

Use of the term was popularized by Kevin Smith's film, Clerks., in which a spacey character is nicknamed "Snowball" because he enjoys the practice.

The term is also generally referred to as a "cum swap" within pornographic films.zh:口傳精液
