Where did the term blowjob come from? Shouldn't it be called suck job?

Where did the term blowjob come from? Shouldnt it be called suck job?
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.

  • No, when the idea first began a guy would actually get excited, and hard, just from a girl actually blowing on him because the idea of sucking, at first, was thought of as extremely nasty.

    Then, AS GUYS ALWAYS DO, he kept pushing the envelope and asked her to "kiss it", and then "lick it" and finally said..."The H**l with it, Just Suck It!" ... lol

    That's it Baby!! YES!!
    That's it Baby!! YES!!

  • I like this question from I always understood when you get a man to cum from sucking on his cock... he's blowing a load into your mouth hence blowjob... well it could be anywhere long as his cock cums.

    • well said :)

  • hey - i am so with you on this one! but i do know the origin of the word and it got mistranslated/misspoken and it became "blow job". can you even imagine trying to blow something that is filling your mouth? like what? no - you suck. (oh goodness please don't be offended. it looks like i am saying "you suck" but what i am saying is - you don't blow on anything when your mouth is full - you suck. and now the world will understand completely why i try and stay away from these topics. open mouth and insert foot. oh no. just did it again!)

    • 😂😂😂love your sense of humor and is ok. This is one time it's ok to tell someone "you suck"😂😂 So I may "suck" but you"do" too😉😂

    • bahahahahaah! oh that just made me fall out of the chair! clumsy or something - bahahahah! yer awesome-sauce!

    • Lol back at you.

  • I always wondered the same thing.
    Suck job just doesn't have the same ring to it.
    Aside from Bj, what other terms can be used? Snogging. Slob the knob. Jacques Cousteau.

    • 😂😂😊There's a question lol "If you could rename blowjobs what would you call it" lmao Someone did suck off earlier

    • *said

  • Lol. I’ve often wondered that myself.

    • Thanks makes me less a weirdo

  • How HOT is it, if someone asks, "Can I give you a SUCK job?" Like it is assuming it is going to be bad, by the term, so if it is good, then wow?
    Blow job, seems more exciting, maybe, without the 'suck' factor (double meaning!) LOL :) :)

    • Lol ok

  • Lol suck job sounds weird. I don't get why sucking dick just didn't stick. My partner calls it sucky sucky time 🤣🤣

    • Lmao ❤love that... sucky sucky time. 😂Lol does he have an alarm that goes off so you know what"time" it is?😂

    • @GreenEyedChelle lol it kinda did stick. what about giving head? how does that make sense?

    • Hahahaha

  • Why is sex even called "sex" literally speaking sex is synonymous to gender.
    Like what's your sex?
    I'm a male.
    Or I'm a female.
    But fornication is also called sex. I don't think anyone minds either way.

  • My guess is the motion of it looks like the woman is pumping air into it.

    • So she "blows"it up till it pops?😁

    • When viewed by someone who has never given or received one, that's probably what it looks like, yeah. Or, maybe it's the apparant "inflation" that occurs from a soft start.

    • Lol ok

  • Maybe in the Old Days women Blew instead.

  • I just assume it's about the position, she's not blowing but it looks like she has an instrument in her mouth.

    • 😂😂

    • Does make you think about the sexuality of winded instruments... ahh.. American pie :)

    • Lol funny

  • Either term

  • It originated from the word "below job" an was most commonly referred to as a service provided by prostitutes and was below the norm. It was shortened to blowjob.

    The general explanation to this is when you are performing the act, your cheeks drew in giving the impression that you are blowing. Also it reference to blow-off someone.

    • Thanks for the explanation

    • Well no problem..

  • I always thought it refered to "blowing" a guy's mind by swallowing him whole.

  • You're right that it doesn't make sense and that "suckjob" does make sense. But I have no idea what the origin of "blowjob" is.

  • Victorian era expression, evolved.
    Below job.
    B'low job.
    Blow job.

  • Always wondered that myself

  • Actually, it does feel really nice if you blow on it.

    Just saying.

    • Ok blow job it is then lmao

  • Because people mumble. It was originally a "bellow the belt" job. And then a bellow job and now here we are

    • Lol ok that's funny😀

  • Why don't they change it to : Mind Blowing Suck Job
    blowjob makes no sense?

    • Hey there you go that's a great name and if she "suck "😁 at it you cab drop off the mind blowing part

    • Yeah i agree @Brainsbeforebeauty

  • Technically you are sucking... perhaps the "blow" part comes from when he blows his load.
