Added 2021-03-17 22:09:11 +0000 UTCFun sex fact: the term “blow job” didn’t come about because you blow on the dick. Its roots also predate the more clinical term “fellatio”, which is derived from the Latin “fellatus”, meaning to suck - that term came into common use when sexual researcher Havelock Lewis used it in a study he wrote on sexuality in 1894. Blow job (the word, not the act, once, bc people have been putting mouths on dicks probably since the prehistoric days) has early roots around the 17th century. So what’s it mean? First, to “blow” was old timey slang for making someone cum, and similarly, a “blowsy” was an old timey word for a sex worker. Despite this, the term “blow job” didn’t get popular as a means of describing oral sex on penises until 1930, when it was used in a pulp novel called Nell Kimball: Her Life as an American Madam. There’s a popular rumour that the exact term comes from Victorian sex worked slang referring to going down on a dick as giving a "below-job," the first recorded usage of "blow job" was in a Tijuana Bible — Tijuana Bibles were essentially early porn comics — printed in 1948, in a panel where one politician is telling another, "You give such good blow jobs." There’s your dirty history lesson for today Also this is anecdotal, not empirical, but blow jobs are hella fun y’all And if you want to watch me blow someone, I have a video of me doing just that available for purchase. It’s my only b/g video, DM me if you want it.
