I have been asking people the same question lately! It drives me nuts that there is no great noun for this. But I am liking Pearl Job…

That drug/sex connection for blow job makes sense to me. Thanks for helping me put the pieces together!

I love head. I mean, um, I love calling oral sex performed on a female “head”. It’s so easy to say, so fun to do. It’s also easy to talk about in the middle of a crowded taqueria. “When we get home, you owe me.” I owe you what?! “head.” and no one is even paying attention….like you never even talked about licking pussy, but ya’ did.

I like the term “Head”… as in, “giving head” or “getting head”. It’s all about the fact that someone’s head is in your crotch.

And, it’s a gender/genital-neutral term!

secondlastwish, I was curious about that the term “blow job” as well… and always thought it originated from the intersection of sex work and drug sales, where the job of performing fellatio for a client could bring in enough money for the next hit. However I don’t think it’s accurate at all. Anyone else know?

Not so creative, but I have used the term “eat out” as a noun. Like “hey man who shares home with me, please give me an eat out.”

Lick job?

Blow job is so inaccurate – how did it become so popular?
