Has Anyone Else Ever Wondered...?

[Alicia_Kim]

Has anyone else on here besides me ever wondered how the time honored practice of a woman giving oral sex to a man came to be known as a "blowjob," since there is absolutely no "blowing" involved whatsoever?

At times, while contemplating this conundrum, the following situation has occasionally popped into my head as a possible answer to this perlexing issue. We enter the scene as it is already in progress:

A caveman and his woman are together in their cave. For the purpose of this scenario, their normal, crudely fashioned clothing of saber-tooth tiger skins has been cast aside for the evening's activities.

The caveman is leaning back against his favorite rock-pillow, with his hands clasped behind his head, while his woman is on her knees at his side, bent forward with her head over his groin, and he is looking down at her with a rather bored look in his face.

Finally, after several minutes, the caveman speaks: "I know you're trying, Honey, and I appreciate that, I really do, but it's just not working for me... I have an idea that might help, if you're willing to try it. What about if, instead of blowing, you sucked?... We could still call it whatever you want."

End scene.

If anyone has further information on this topic, or a better idea, I'm willing to listen.

This will now and forever be my only cannon for the origin of where “Blowjob” came from.

They refer to England quite a bit, but “blow off” actually refers to farting here

Doesn't matter what it's called, it's great!

Trouble_maker, thank you so much! It seems that I've finally made a contribution to the betterment of mankind... personkind?... What-ev-er. At any rate, thanks. My mother would be proud.

When I first saw the Google link you'd posted with a possible solution to my issue, I initially thought you'd busted my bubble, and that the issue wasn't as complicated as I thought it was. I had to admit, however, that the busting of that bubble seemed to have gone a lot smoother than when a similar thing happened to my cherry. After I read the info at the link, however, I'm not convinced that any of the solutions proposed there are valid, so I'm still considering the issue open... again similarly to my own state since the above referenced cherry incident, strangely enough. Thanks for trying, though.

Blowing your load?
Below job?

Then there is the whole myth of cherry and popping and virginity and hymen.

Below job?

I guess those are possibilities, but a man blows his load from other means besides a mouth, & any action down by any form stimulation below the belt can be termed a "below job," so why did the term evolve to mean only oral stimulation?

Thanks for the suggestions, but unfortunately, I find them by no means definitive. I still think there's got to be a better reason... or perhaps I'm just stubborn... It's occasionally been said before.

OMG! Does this mean that after all this traffic I might still be a virgin?

Hey, Mom! Guess what?

I always wondered why it's called coming (cumming), when in reality, it's going or leaving.

I always wondered why it's called coming (cumming), when in reality, it's going or leaving.

I tend to think it started as another instance of the word come being used to mean arrive in a figurative sense.

"I came to the same conclusion."

"We came to an understanding."

"Things came to a head."

"He came to orgasm quickly." (Note that the phrase "come to orgasm" used to be seen more commonly than it is now.)

It’s the wet and the release and all of the feels coming down.

stilllearning2B's google search was insightful, but yours is more fun, Dr. Kim.

yes, exactly. A shortened version of the joke goes as follows:

Lover, to his sweetheart: No, no darling, it's not 'blow, blow', just 'suck, suck'.

 

[UgliestSon]

This is why I never use the phrase BJ. Head, suck me off or skull fuck seem way more appropriate. Thanks for pointing this out. You seem like a real good egg. Peace out!

When I was younger, I knew various terms, including "BJ". I was in the back seat and the guy asked if I gave "head". I said that I did, not wanting to appear stupid but I was baffled by that term. Baffled further when the wiener dog came out and he told me to blow. So blew on it. Haha.

Next thing that happened was the cops knocking on my window with flashights.
