Many people love facials (Picture: Liberty Antonia Sadler for Metro.co.uk)

I’ve never been a big fan of the sperm facial.

A few years ago, an ex-boyfriend of mine wanted to try it, and as the open-minded woman that I am, I decided to give it a go.

It wasn’t great. In fact, I was pretty upset afterwards because I felt humiliated.

Also, once you’ve experienced having your eye swollen shut because you accidentally got semen in it, you become a bit hesitant about letting a man ejaculate on your face ever again.


Even if it is supposedly good for your skin.

According to recent Google Trends, Canada and Australia like facials more than we do in the UK.



Oddly, we also seem to prefer an early morning facial, with high search spikes for the phrase between 4am and 5am on Google this past week.

There are plenty of men and women – straight, gay, bi, trans and more – who love sperm facials and my curious mind wanted to find out the reasons why.

This is what they said.

Sarah, 28, Liverpool, bisexual, police officer

I really get off on giving oral sex, so it’s kind of like a sign of a job well done.

Sometimes, I worry that my liking it when a guy comes on my face makes me a bad feminist, but after the act is done, my partner gently wipes my face and thanks me.

It’s actually a nice and intimate moment.

Plus, guys tend to always appreciate it.

Robert, 25, London, straight, consultant

I love how you can see the girl’s eyes looking right at you, as you come all over her face. It’s the ultimate sort of ownership.

Gavin, 35, London, straight, works in technology



It’s a pretty good way to show dominance. You have to be physically above the person you’re ejaculating on, which is a nice feeling.

But, it’s key that she likes it too, otherwise it’s demeaning.

Jenny, 26, east London, genderqueer and bisexual, works in customer service

There are several things that I like about facials.

There’s the sense of submitting yourself to your partner and the fact that your partner is so excited that they can’t control themselves.

Also, the sensation itself is primal and unique. Almost like running through a thunderstorm.

Alexander, 29, Surrey, straight, massage therapist

Facials are a real turn-on. It’s highly erotic and naughty, and feels empowering. There’s something really hot about sperm on the face or a girl swallowing.

David, 44, Gatwick, bisexual, works in transport management

I love a facial, either from a man or a woman. It’s that intense build-up, the anticipation of what’s about to come. And then, the force of the release with my face taking the full impact.

The feeling of being a naughty boy.

Karina, 24, York, bisexual, store manager

I like facials because I love the dominance my master has over me, it’s like he’s marking his territory.

In my opinion, it also feels really good and it fits in well with the humiliation element.

Anthony, 30, north London, bisexual, works in IT

Personally, I think men just like the idea that women really want our sperm. And that they love it so much that they want it all over their face.



We also like to see ourselves cum, it’s hot to see it go everywhere.

Drew, 25, Glasgow, straight, estate agent

You look down at the girl, and see her looking back, smiling, mouth open or pouting – whatever she prefers. And it’s sexy, because I know that she wants it, too.

When a sub is giving you oral sex, she wants a reward or a climax.

Lauren, 30, Bristol, straight, solicitor

I’m not sure I’d say I like it, but my boyfriend and I have tried it.

We were on holiday and tried the facial in the afternoon.

It was a disaster; I got it in my eyes and had to spend the whole night explaining that I wasn’t upset, I just had sperm in my eyes.

Ian, 39, London, straight, director

Once, I rubbed my sperm over a woman’s face, just before she had to go and take her new passport picture.

It was actually part of a cuckolding scenario, because her husband knew that the ‘shine’ on her passport was my doing. A turn-on for all involved.

Matt, 28, London, straight, works in finance

It’s do to with humiliation. That’s why I don’t ejaculate on her face if we’re in a serious relationship.

Nicos, 24, Romania, pansexual, works in tech support

It’s about mental domination, giving a girl or a guy a facial puts you in the dominant position.

Facials are also an alternative for people who don’t like the taste of sperm.

Curtis, 27, Bristol, straight, works in hospitality

There are two reasons I like facials.

I’m straight, but the humiliation aspect of a mistress making another man cum in my face sends me deeper into submission.


From a dominant perspective, it’s the control and submission that you receive which makes it a turn-on.

Jimmy, 29, east London, straight, self-employed

Facials are an ownership thing.

It’s about a woman giving herself up to you, knowing you’re about to come, but still stays in place.

Sam, 27, Manchester, straight, start-up owner

I enjoy the power trip, it’s kind of like you’re making your own Picasso.

Of course, it’s important that the girl enjoys it, too.

Tye, 28, Brussels, straight, works in the creative sector

It’s somehow related to power.

Liam, 35, Nottingham, straight, business owner

I’m straight but I love to ejaculate on a guy’s face.

Maybe it’s because men are a lot better at giving oral sex. Other men also know how to appreciate a cock better than women, plus they feel humiliated when they can’t compete with my cock.

Carmen, 23, London, bisexual, student

It’s not generally a kink of mine, but as long as it’s just a facial and I can keep my mouth closed, I don’t mind.

Although, I tend to lean more on the gay side, so that probably has something to do with it.
