Discussing this with the OH, obviously not whilst she had her mouth full, but why is called a blow job, when it is most definitely a sucking action.

I have had the same conversation with my Mrs. Is it cause you blow your load and it’s often quite a job to get her to do it!

Suckjob doesn’t quite sound right does it. More accurate though.

The most common and commonly understood oral sex term in the world didn’t even come into use until some time after the first World War. In fact, even though “fellatio” is a Latin-derived term — taken from “fellatus,” which means “to suck” — it didn’t come into popular use until 1894, when sexual researcher Havelock Ellis used it in one his clinical works on sexuality. The roots of the term “blow job” began a bit earlier than this, however — in the 17th century, to be exact, when to “blow” meant to bring someone to orgasm. In the same time period, a “blowsy” meant an unkempt woman (fans of history and/or Les Miserables may recall the work options that were available to such women during this time and draw their own conclusions).
The term “blow” wasn’t applied specifically to fellatio, however, until 1930, when we saw the first recorded use of it in a pulp novel called Nell Kimball: Her Life as an American Madam. It was also featured in a popular underground poem that circulated in 1948, “The Platonic Blow,” and is about exactly what it sounds like. But while some claim that the term is derived from Victorian prostitute slang referring to performing oral sex as giving a “below-job,” the first recorded usage of “blow job” was in a Tijuana Bible — a type of comic book that depicted popular cultural figures engaged in explicit sexual acts — printed in 1948, which featured one McCarthy-era male politician telling another, “You give such good blow jobs.” And with that, we never looked back, America.

Wow,well done
I reckon it might come from a sex industry term as guys would be looking to get their load blowed and so industry workers may have eventually referred it to a ‘blow job’
