Tamakeri

A woman knees a man in the testicles.

Tamakeri (玉蹴り)(lit. ball kicking) is a sexual fetish and sub-genre in which a female kicks, knees, punches, grabs or twists a man's testicles. This act is shown in some Japanese horror films, such as Busted Balls.

Tamakeri videos cater mainly to masochistic men for whom the idea of having their testicles abused is sexually stimulating, at least in fantasy. In pornographic tamakeri videos, the repeated genital attacks are invariably followed by sexual activity.

Though the genre appeals primarily to men, it does have some female following in Japan and elsewhere. Female performers generally are young, out-of-work models or actresses who appear in these videos only occasionally. Male performers are often masochists who apply to work in the videos.

A manga series in Shonen Jump depicted a story about a Japanese karate girl who has gift in fighting. One tamakeri scene shows her challenge a male Muay Thai champion to fight in a street fight. The girl beats the Thai fighter easily and humiliates him by removing his boxing shorts to squeeze his private parts until he passes out.
