Lou Paget, author of How to Give Her Absolute Pleasure says: "Jazz musicians in the 1950's referred to fellatio as 'playing the skin flute', and that's where the term originated". Fellatio is another name for the act of sucking or licking a man's penis and you "blow" into a flute to play it so hence the name "blow job". Hope this helps :-)

Samuel Clemens (a.k.a Mark Twain) is rumored to have mainstreamed the phrase "below job." Whether he actaully coined the phrase is uncertain. Nonetheless, by Mississippi riverboat parlance, as in "get b'low" ("get below" [deck], it was pronounced, "b'low job." It is the reference to where the administering head winds up when delivering the oral sex. "B'low job" has since become the un-punctuated, "Blow Job."

the term comes from Victorian England. Remember that at that time folks would refer to women of questionable character as "blowsy?" (Think about literature you've read.) Well, "blow" was slang for ejaculate. So, getting a blow job meant creating an ejactuation in the man. Thus, "blow job" is from the masculine perspective of what happens to the man (rather than some odd, ineffective action on the part of the partner)
