I had an advisor in high school who explained it to us. He was adamant about the fact that there was nothing pornographic about the phrase. He said it comes from dogs who "suck" i.e. eat eggs. If you are on a farm and you have a dog and the dog starts breaking into the hen house and eating the eggs he was said to, "suck eggs." If the dog sucks eggs he's worthless and has to be shot. Therefore th expression, "suck eggs" was born. Later it was shortened to "suck." which I posit had remained popular because of its similarity to a different kind of sucking. Case closed!
