Anon-ymous1 Editor

Because a suck job doesn't sound that pleasing.
There are also two other reasons that come to mind
In England, a really long time ago, blow was slang for ejaculate.
There is also a scientific explanation
In the act of performing oral sex, exhaling or blowing, will ease the act taking the penis deeper into the mouth, while reducing choking or gagging reflexes.

  Well... yeah. That's the point. The scientific explanation seems a little wack, though.

Suckjob is actually for Vampires sucking blood..

Blowjob is actually defined not as
"Act of Blowing"
But as
" A job where, objective is to make the person blow his load"..

Blow is a forgotten old world English term meaning "prostitute". Long ago, it was popular opinion that only a prostitute would put a penis in her mouth.

In actuality I blow sometimes. Leave a wet trail and blow on it gently for some cold 😉.

  Yeah. It's a teasing thing. Haven't you ever played with cold before? Try sucking on some ice before hand. It's has interesting results.

  I don't think I'd enjoy that, honestly... I'd be wondering why she stopped sucking. I don't like being teased; it's annoying to me.

  Then you've obviously never had a very good blow job. Sorry hun but a little bit of teasing makes things feel a lot better. I've never had a complaint, only compliments. Then again I don't really do "normal" vanilla sex.

  There's nothing to be sorry about; I've had many good ones and some mediocre ones. None of the good ones contained what you're describing, and I was totally fine with that.

  That's cool. I'm sure you'll find someone who's a tease someday. Then you'll get to feel that tingling sensation.

  Nah I'm good. I don't like being annoyed. I'm glad that whatever you're doing seems to work for you.

Now days it should be. In the old days, after the woman had a guy in her mouth, she would gently blow cool and hot air on the head. It gives you a tingling sensation that feels pretty great.

  There is a startling amount of ladies who have no idea how to give head. It really is shocking. Maybe this is just because I have one, but I can't believe that sucking a cock would really be that hard.

  Actually it's a lot of hard work. A bit of a workout sometimes for some guys. Not uncommon for me to have a bit of neck tiredness after all that bobbing 😅. It's part of why it's so satisfying to me. All that hardwork paying off for a small "explosion". 😂😂😂

  For kicks and Giggles today, I was actually measuring myself, and I found that I was a little bit thinner than the cardboard tube that comes with toilet paper. I was thinking about how so many girls are bad at head because of this question, and I held an empty tube in front of my mouth, and found that I could barely fit in my own mouth

The roots of this word started the 17th century, when to "blow" meant to bring someone to orgasm.
