Where did the term blowjob come from? Shouldn't it be called suck job?
BrainsbeforebeautyEditor
I never understood why it's called a "blow job". You're not really blowing, you're sucking lol you ain't playing a trumpet, you sucking a"D". I get maybe cuz it might be mind "blowing" for a man to receive but not always if not "done" right.
From blow off ("to fellate") (originating among prostitutes from 1933) + job.

Blowjob sounds more like you are being asked to intentionally screw a given task. Girl - i blew the job. Boy - that was great

I wonder this a lot myself.
I mean I never felt any blowing sensation from my ex or the other chicks I've gotten oral from. especially the ones after my ex who gave me very pornographic blowjobs. miss that slow and sensual way blowjob I used to get from my ex!

yeah I wonder if that meant anything since my ex was the only person who actually had feelings for me. the others where mostly escort and strippers, and like two of them were random chicks I met at parties

The activity probably predates the term blowjob. My guess is that it was first used for addicts of blow, who didn't have any money so this would have been the payment method.

so the activity of blowjob is older than the word blowjob yet you assume that it was coined for people who would trade sex for cocaine... a new age drug... some 140yrs old. lol

Well just like the term pussy came from pusillanimous blowjob came from belowjob But a good theory would be the face she or he makes during oral which looks like they are blowing air out

Google it - plenty of explanations. The technical or ancient term is 'fallatio'. The greeks called it playing a flute or 'fluting', perhaps that's where 'blow' came from. In the seventies the movie DeepThroat moreorless cemented the term 'blowjob'.
In any case, yeah, it's to suck or stroke a man's penis. It may or may not 'blow their mind', most women aren't that good at it.

Because women used to blow cold air on the head after they got him wet from sucking.

Yeah- I had wondered about that too a few years ago. The leading theories (we really aren't sure which is the winner) are as follows: 1. In England, a really long time ago, "blow" was slang for ejaculate/cum/semen. 2. It’s from a time in England when prostitutes were known as "blowsies". 3. Linguists tie it to the expression “ to blowoff someone", meaning that you are finished with them, done, over and out! 4. The act was once known as a “below job” for obvious reasons. The term has since been shortened to “b’lowjob” or simply “blowjob”.
Take your pick! :- )

The original term was a bellow or bellow the belt job. It devolved into blow over the centuries. This sort of subject wouldn't be written about many places for a younger generation to read so it became what some thought they had heard.

Wow I never really thought about it. But I looked it up. In ancient times it was just fellatio, but since 1700s blow became to mean to make someone orgasm. Later below job was used and it became blow job since 1940s I always went with sucktion fucktion though

I have actually asked this question in the past! In my opinion, I think it dates back to Ancient times... Like Egypt, and Asia. (Perhaps they were practiced differently) Cunnilingus and Fellatio were VERY popular in the past, and were thought to have Health and Psychological benefits!
