Normal quantities of ejaculate range from 1.5 to 5.0 milliliters (1 teaspoon). 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. 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 performance of a facial is typically preceded by activities that result in the sexual arousal and stimulation of the ejaculating participant. Facials are regularly portrayed in pornographic films and videos, often as a way to close a scene.
A facial is a form of non-penetrative sex, though it is generally performed after some other means of sexual stimulation, such as vaginal sex, anal sex, oral sex or masturbation.
