Pearl necklace (sexual act) explained
A "pearl necklace" is slang for a sexual act in which a man ejaculates semen on or near the neck or chest of another person.[1] The term originates from the way the deposited semen resembles a necklace of translucent white pearls.[2] [3]
A pearl necklace can be used as a form of erotic humiliation or degradation of the person receiving the semen. Receiving a pearl necklace is an activity that sex workers use as a safe sex alternative for people who prefer not to wear condoms.[4]
In popular culture
- George Carlin used the term in his "Incomplete List of Impolite Words" joke as early as 1984, on the album Carlin on Campus. The term was also used in the stoner comedy Half Baked (1998). The ZZ Top song "Pearl Necklace" drew attention for its lyrics which were alleged to objectify women.[5] The term appears in episode 69 of the HBO sex comedy Sex and the City, first broadcast in 2004.[6] [7] [8]
- The term "Pearl necklace" is mentioned in the 2014 musical Heathers in the song "I Love My Dead Gay Son".[9]
