Either “I don’t know” or “It’s a type of porn.” I doubt she would want or expect any more details than that. If she asked how I knew what it was, I’d tell her (honestly) “It’s something gross people make jokes about on the Internet.”

I caught a genuine Freudian slip while typing the above – I originally wrote “It’s comething”! :smack:

(bolding added)

You know, sometimes it’s a bunch of men and… one man. Just to keep the record straight (so to speak).

And there is also such a thing as “lesbian bukkake” with all women, and “reverse bukkake” with many women and one man. So basically, it’s an all-inclusive activity.

I’d show her the sexy losers webcomic and let her read along until she figures it out. No not going to link it, its extremely NSFW, go google it you perverts.

Damnit. I had to Google it. Just had to. Couldn’t leave well enough alone. :smack:

Yeah, Japanese porn term is about the best I could do. I think at that point my parents would be looking for holy water to cleanse themselves and gasoline to burn the cards. Note to self - do not play CAH with parents. Or kids.

What’s not sexy about an apathetic young woman dressed as a flight attendant kneeling on an exercise mat and grimacing as an indistinguishable series of disembodied, pixelated smears drip goo into her clenched eye sockets?

And that was one of the cleanest combos of the night.

It would probably go something like this:

Ma: What’s bukkake?

Me: you don’t know?

Ma: no, I don’t know.

Me: have you been living under a rock or something?

Ma: yes, I have been living under a rock. What is it?

Me: it’s a kind of Japanese porn where a bunch of guys stand around choking their chickens until they come all over some lady’s face.

Ma: and how exactly do you think I would have known about THAT?

Me: you know everything.

Ma: well, it wasn’t invented yet back in my day.

Me: masturbation wasn’t invented?

Ma: what I really want to know is this: who’s the poor schlepper who has to clean up?

I presume you mean women with the dildos that ejaculate fake semen?

I knew what Bukkake is but I had to google “Cards against humanity” :o

If my mum asked, my answer would be “you don’t want to know, it’s a porn thing”

> Having a “birds and bee” talk with your parents is never easy. However, bukkake shouldn’t be that difficult. I am sure you can explain it in terms she can relate to. Maybe she has only played singles matches rather than full team tournaments but the basic idea is easy enough for most parents to grasp. Who knows, maybe she was once in a wild sorority and already understands the concept perfectly but just doesn’t know the Japanese translation for it.

A friend told me how he was explaining what felching was to his wife and went on about the tubes and the mice. I explained what it really was and he replied, “there’s no way on earth I can tell her that!”.

There are some extremely common and vanilla things about sex that don’t turn me on and I just don’t “get”. And then there are some weird niche things that I do like\*.

The world can be a weird and wonderful place.
