A facial is a sexual activity in which a man ejaculates semen onto the face of one or more sexual partners. Facials are regularly portrayed in pornographic films and videos, often as a way to close a scene. The performance of a facial is typically preceded by activities that result in the sexual arousal and stimulation of the ejaculating participant. After the prerequisite level of sexual stimulation has been achieved, and ejaculation becomes imminent, the male will position his penis so that the semen discharged will be deposited onto his partner's face. The volume of semen that is ejaculated depends on several factors, including the male's health, age, degree of sexual excitement, and the time since his last ejaculation.
