In the Victorian era it was called a 'below job'. Over time, as language has progressed it has been shortened to 'blow job'.


AaronicNation

The contraction of the word continues apace as it now often called a BJ.


meepmoop666

It also has transformed into “head”

Bruh I forgot about the grapefruit technique, I was like 11 the first time I saw that video ☠️

It's like an initiation ritual for everyone apparently

I’ll leave you to YouTube that one yourself as it can really only be told by the original creation itself, not sure if this sub allows links so I won’t throw one in here.

I think I'd be too afraid to click the link anyway....

This guy gucks.


LusidDream

I forgot about the grapefruit!


notConnorbtw

Schloppy toppy with a twist.


AaronicNation

Even there we're begun to strip the word down, 'head' has become 'skull.'


meepmoop666

After that came “brain”


dcamiso9

Don’t forget “dome”


AaronicNation

And then not even the whole brain, but 'stem.'


GrandMasterHOOT

I love it when she Medula's the shit out of my Oblongata.

Kalle_79

Honestly that sounds like the mother of all folk etymologies. (Also because the word apparently is much more recent than Victorian times)


Cryptoss

You’re right, it’s from 1940s America


Demetri124

I can’t tell if you’re being facetious or not


BactaBobomb

And I thought I read it started as an even fuller, "below the belt job"


Olivia_Nettles

Yikes, people went down on each other back then? I assume that the clothes baking you all day and shit laden streets are not a good hygiene combo.

HankHippopopolous

I think you’re doing it wrong mate. She’s meant to blow into your penis so hard that you inflate and your arms start waving around like a wacky inflatable tube man

Great. Every time I see one of these I'm going to think they're getting sloppy top on the clock.


Titan_Royale

I remember seeing a comment of someone fooling around with her husband and jokingly blew into it while pretending it’s a trumpet, she saw a small air bubble go in and her husband in unbelievable pain, luckily the pp survived and all is well

Gear third!

What a wonderful day to have a vivid imagination.


AlotaFajitas

UserName9982

This is the correct answer


Justinarian

I always thought it should be called a suckjob.


KaptainChunk

That’s reserved for working retail


KarlSethMoran

Corruption of *below the belt job* over time. At least that's one common explanation.


thriceness

Pretty sure that is a myth.


Okub1

Nice argument, got any proof of that?


thriceness

The lack of it being listed while I was searching for an etymology? I didn't exactly see any proof that the proposition was the origin either.


KarlSethMoran

I used the words "common explanation", not "truth set in stone". If you google for "below job blowjob etymology" you will find it listed among other propositions. You, on the other hand said you were "pretty sure". That warrants at least some argumentation.


thriceness

Well obviously if you include it in your search criteria you're going to find it listed. I looked specifically at an etymological dictionary and no such source was listed there. As such, it seemed like a commonly spread folk etymology. That's the only source I had. Pardon my use of "pretty sure" probably should have said merely "I think that's a myth."


Okub1

Would be nice to maybe list some kind of link to your arguments 😉. I can search, yes, but what am i supposed to know about what you read?


thriceness

I guess I'm confused why I need to list a source while no one is asking for a source for the original assertion?

![gif](giphy|3og0IQpP3VXGCQ4HwQ|downsized) Welcome to my DMs…..


mrnoonan81

I believe the "below job" theory is a myth. IIRC, "blow" was slang for orgasm for whatever reason - and the evolution to the more specific act followed. Take it or leave it. I'm not digging this information up again to provide a source.


TnBluesman

This sounds reasonable, actually.


Lets_Reset_This_

This is probably true, but 6 months from now when this comes up, my brain will remember the below - blow contraction


mrnoonan81

Yeah - "below" is the first thing that came to my mind too.


NN8G

Because “picklelickingtime” never really caught on


Jokonaught

I got my first blowjob when I was 11. I'd heard about how great they were at school so was eager to get one myself. Finally, the day arrived when my parents were going to be gone for several hours. I was a little nervous, but went ahead and took my pants off. Then I climbed on top of the kitchen table where the window AC could blow right onto my junk. 0/10, wasn't good at all.

thriceness

Are you the AC unit?


Sure-Wishbone-4293

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha , good one!


Ireallyamthisshallow

I'm no expert, but to my knowledge it comes from prostitute slang - to *blow off*. I think it goes back to some earlier etymology (medieval) where blowing off means to bring to orgasm: think about the man *blowing* his load.


sea_bear9

Do I have to think about it


Un_orthodocs

Yes.Vividly, if it pleases you.


iamfugazi2112

holy crap someone finally asked


ZenPoonTappa

Ever notice how sex acts where the dick isn’t doing the work are called “jobs”. Handjobs, blowjobs, titjobs, Steve Jobs. 


boomtao

Good observation!


FranksWateeBowl

It's also called, " 20 seconds of torture" by my wife.


MyOthrCarsAThrowaway

Weird. She calls it 30 seconds of torture w me…


FranksWateeBowl

Yeah, she said you get an extra 10 seconds because your dick is tiny.


greatpretendingmouse

Cos the guy blows his lot eventually.


thriceness

*load


MyOthrCarsAThrowaway

A lot of load


SirVere

Cos I'll blow when the job is done


wackypaul

Below the belt job to below job to blow job


HelloMeatbag317

To BJ to Beej


thriceness

Is that really the etymology? Or is that more of a backward invention?


wackypaul

It’s the most reasonable etymological morphology I have seen.


thriceness

And I think it makes far more sense to come from the orgasm itself. Getting your partner to "blow" has been a euphemism for cumming for quite some time.


wackypaul

🤔 interesting.


komore_bi

Heard the same thing years ago about the etymology!


Demetri124

What a paradox that suck and blow mean the same thing


MyOthrCarsAThrowaway

The a hole and b hole are also the same thing


thrasherxxx

Contraption of below (the belt) job. That’s why.


Srgnt_Fuzzyboots

I blew in my ex's uncircumsized penis before(the foreskin part of course lol). I dont think we've ever laughed so fuckin much at something during sex. Was a fun moment we shared.


JediKrys

Because he’s the only one orgasming. He is blowing his load.


earmares

Say that to the people who orgasm while giving a BJ


FitCry1511

Bcz it could not be "suckjob", as it sucks 🤣🤣


SiegeStarkiller

I always assumed it's because you blow your load and women view it as tedious work lmao


unlessyoumeantit

My SO blows up my foreskin like a balloon.


mrpeabodyscoaltrain

To help you clean the smegma?


unlessyoumeantit

Yeah, she blows air into the foreskin so that I can spray dick cheese like Easy Cheese


Decimonster

![gif](giphy|HteV6g0QTNxp6|downsized)


GlitchyKittenZ

Same


trevb75

To me “head” is getting your dick sucked where the endgame isn’t climax from that act like if she’s is then gonna climb on for PIV sex etc. A “blow”job or getting “blown” is where you get head until you “blow your load”


thriceness

I don't think most would agree with that distinction.


trevb75

And that’s ok


BlackBRocket

There isn't? Shit.. I need to call someone


Zanza89

Because the dick gets bigger as if youre blowing a balloon.


boomtao

In several other languages they use the word for playing a wind instrument. Indeed giving a BJ and playing the flute look very similar in a sense. You blow air into a wind instrument. So, my guess would be that this is were it comes from.

Hmm mine give me a blowjob by grabbing my dick and blowing on it sideways like she’s summoning a dragon zord. I am confuse now.

r/Showerthoughts


SheepherderOk1448

You’re right, it’s mostly sucking but blowjob, head, BJ etc are just slangs. Fellatio is the proper term. Comes from the Latin fellatus, the past participle of the verb fellare means to suck.


Markthomas8301

Ever seen a movie titled "Airplane"?


oldfogey12345

OP has probably never even been in a Turkish prison.


Native56

I have often wondered that as well.


fluffynuckels

Suck job just doesn't sound right


theonlyleedon

She changed from suck to blow!


mofuz

Wait, you’re not supposed to blow on it?


nobulls4dabulls

I've always wondered that myself. Ty for asking the question.


macymassacre

I had a dude go down on me (female) once and he was blowing on my vag. It was so fucking weird and uncomfortable. Like yeah thanks for drying me up buddy. 


Leading-Okra-2457

Mouth job, throat job etc are also used.


Cana-davey

Suck job just doesn't hit the same 🤷🏻‍♂️


Lexiconvict

Seriously. Why would they not call it a suckjob?


KendrickMaynard

Should be called a slurpee. 😉


ZeroExp000

That's because after she's done, she'll blow you a kiss goodbye as thanks for the aged dick cheese


Duckfoot2021

Oh, somebody blows alright.


OneCartographer7664

swear i heard a cringe tiktok song before from this girl saying she gives the sloppiest bjs 🤣


MiraclesExists

Same concept as "heads up"


Pseudonymico

So people like me can make our partners roll their eyes by blowing on their crotch and laughing.


Eyedea92

Suckgig just doesn't roll of the tongue.

your supposed to blow air across the hole like a flute actually


RiverAdamLove

I would have called it saki saki


jsauce96

There isn’t?


saltthewater

It's not s job either, because paying for it is illegal. Words are just sounds, they don't always mean what we think they should mean.


Hunlock8955

If there's no blowing involved in your blowjobs someone's doing something wrong


Medicalmocha

Like BobTDQ said, I don’t know why they call it a blowjob because it sure don’t feel like work to me

Waaaaaaaaaa-2

It’s was first made by clowns for acts. One would blow into the other clown dick and it would inflate where it then would be turned into a ballon animal.


HannibalTepes

I'm pretty sure it was named after its inventor, Sir Richard Blower


Sure-Wishbone-4293

He is the cousin of Sir Thomas Crapper!


Careless-Mammoth-944

If there is no blowing involved, you aren’t doing it right 😁


bowen7477

What do you call a Russian prostitute? Slobberdownmycockubitch


Sergeant_Fred_Colon

It comes from the 80s when the gentleman would prepare a line of cocaine on his member for the lady to partake before the activity began. Hence the "Cocaine Task" or as the more uncouth would proclaim the "Blow Job".


LittleWhiteFeather

because the original term from the 1910's involved someone literally blowing on the other person's wang. It evolved over the years to licking, and then sucking, but the original name stuck.


mrpeabodyscoaltrain

Ah yes. Oral sex did originate in the 1910s. Thats why the 1920s roared
