Snowballing (sexual practice)
Encyclopedia
Snowballing or snowdropping is the human
sexual practice in which one person takes another person's semen
into his or her mouth and then passes it back to the mouth of the other, usually through kiss

The term was originally used only by homosexuals. 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. In heterosexual couples, a woman who has performed fellatio
may afterwards return the semen to her partner's mouth, mixed with saliva; the couple may then exchange the fluid several times, causing its volume to increase (hence "snowballing"). Many heterosexual men are uncomfortable with the practice.
