Snowballing or snowdropping[1] is the human sexual practice in which one takes someone else's semen into their mouth and then passes it to the mouth of the other (another), usually through kissing.[2][3][4][5]
The term was originally used only by homosexuals.[1] Researchers who surveyed over 1200 gay or bisexual men at New York LGBT community events in 2004 found that around 20% said they had one or more times engaged in snowballing.[6] In heterosexual couples, a woman who has performed fellatio may afterwards return the semen to her or to one of their partner's mouth, mixed with saliva; the couple or other partners may then exchange the fluid several times, causing its volume to increase (hence "snowballing").[4][5] Many heterosexual men are uncomfortable with the practice.[4][5] The practice is very visual, making it a popular activity in pornography and when more than two people are involved.[7] Snowballing is commonly seen in bukkake films.
