Why Facials Are Hot

Many people find cumshots arousing, whether they're giving or receiving! While many suspect this is due to their prominent presence in porn (it depicts both a happy face and the joy of ejaculation simultaneously!), there may be many other reasons for their arousal, beyond media representation. For the giver, it's a delight to see their partner excited and aroused as they reach the climax of pleasure. For the receiver, it can be thrilling to watch their partner climax up close, and depending on the angle, to see the pleasure wash over their partner's face simultaneously!

In an informal poll, my friends shared their thoughts, and there were some common threads. Those who received it found it simultaneously exciting and arousing, and were also aware that it requires trust and care with their partner. For example, one recipient said, "I don't end every sex scenario with a facial, but it's definitely a good way to spice things up during a particularly steamy session or when I'm feeling extra horny." She went on to elaborate on what the experience feels like beyond the physical sensations: "My face is me and represents who I am, so letting my boyfriend come on my face is an act of trust and submission. For me, it's not really disrespectful, but still taboo enough that it's SUPER hot."

Givers might love the dominance/submission aspect, or it might be more related to the visual cue itself! One giver shared, "I really love visual stimuli, so actually seeing myself cum is a huge turn-on. The added bonus of her being in it too is just, oh my god — it's one of the best things ever." With cum facials, there's usually an element of seeing their partner's face in pleasure during their orgasm that's the icing on the cake!
