examples: The focus here is on Blow Job’s seeming deviations from one of hard-core pornography's staples, the cum shot or money shot--that is, the ejaculation outside the sex partner's body as visual proof for the camera that male satisfaction has been achieved.
The cum shot forms hardcore's pinnacle. It depicts ejaculation in close-up, always occurring outside the body of the sexual partner.
I began by specifying the conventions of the cum shot. In feature porn, ejaculation achieves its prominence under several precise conditions. [...] The first simply demands that ejaculation be visible. It is shown in the closest of possible close-ups. As the camera zooms in, the male performer withdraws from the body of his co-star, proceeds to masturbate, and ejaculates over his or her face, chest, belly, back or buttocks.
