Blowjob semantics
 

You'd think it'd be logical to coin the act of fellatio as a suckjob instead of a blowjob?
(in my experience there has been much more sucking than blowing ;) )

Why then, has it become common practice to illogically call it a blowjob? Although, i must admit, that it sounds a lot better than suckjob (probably because i am used to it though :p ).

In physics, a while back (3-4 years in High School :o ), i remember doing air pressure experiments with a straw and sucking and blowing fluid. Albeit can't remember if there was any special relationship, or action reaction effect between sucking and blowing (like if you need to blow in order to suck, :lol: ). I also heard a quote somewhere, sometime, that vacuum cleaners suck because they blow :p, so maybe that's how the term came about. Unfortuantley a lot of my physics knowledge escapes me :o

Anyone know?

because you "Blow your load"?

All I have to day is.... DING!!!

Oops wrong thead.

So Sorry.

Because, according to my chem teacher from high school, "there is no such thing as suction!" :lol:

Honestly though...I've thought about this too...doesn't make a lot of sense, I guess, but...yeah.

When I was in like grade 6 and blowjobs were trendy with my older friends, I was so confused as to the name.

I mean, do you BLOW? or did you SUCK?

I look back, and laugh. The innocence is lost!

I was always curious to this myself, maybe it's cause they looks like they are blowing up a balloon or something, your guess is as good as mine

who knows.....i'd hafta agree with "because you blow your load"
<----clueless

^ yeah I actually never sat and thought about it but I would have to agree with the blowing your load theory... *shrug*

ok, this thread inspired a google search, which found this:

seems plausible. :)

Puzzle solved.

I myself, do not like the term blowjob.
Id think Id rather someone tell me to suck their dick than, hey, baby, give me a blowjob.

Maybe its just me.

I like the term Blow Job, but i like getting them even more ;)

I've also wondered about "blow". I didn't think about the blow your load thing, so that must be it. Ofcourse, we could just all use fellatio.

I like to call them Hummers and I really agree with Ace_O_Spades...getting them is so much better than calling them blowjobs, hummers, felatio, or what ever else. Oooops it's 11:30!! Time for my hummer...:D
