The common slang term ******** is a misnomer, as blowing is not normally part of fellatio. In fact, blowing air into a partner's penis is an unhealthy practice. It is most commonly thought to be a facetious use of "blow" as the opposite of "suck". It has been suggested to be a corruption of "below-job", allegedly an old Victorian slang term that was commonly used to describe the act. However, there is a third school of thought that believes the word "blow" in "********" indicates the climax of the penis (compare to blowing of a volcano). The phrase "********" originated in the 1940's;[5] at the time, it was also used by Allied pilots as a slang term for jet aircraft.[6]

"One explanation ties the phrase to the jazz slang blow meaning 'to play an instrument'. From there you get the semantic connection of working a tool with some skill, presumably involving the mouth, and there you go.
The second school of thought proposes that the blow in blow j** indicates the climax, and is also related to the expression "to blow off steam." Although the phrase dates only from the 1940s, there is a reference to blowing (someone) off, roughly equivalent to the modern phrase "getting (someone) off," in David W. Maurer's 1939 glossary, Prostitutes and Criminal Argots.
In either case, the word was used primarily in relation to prostitutes, or as a menu item in brothels, until the 1960s. By the 1970s, the use was widespread in the U.S. and the U.K. Whatever its origin, it can now be shortened to only blow, and is often used to make combined forms, like blow book 'a pornographic magazine' or blow buddies 'friends who engage in oral sex'.

what's "hvi"? in case you advise, H.I.V., the answer is certain! 2d of all, when you're asking this question, then it type of appears like you're too youthful to be receiving this exhilaration and intensely uneducated to S.T.D. (sexually transmitted ailments)

Same reason for the weapon name "blow gun". You don't think the dart is sucked in, do you? The 'projectile' is 'blown' out, just as with the projectile in your question!
