blowjob
'der Blowjob' and 'der Oralsex' both belong to the area of sexual acts involving the mouth. 'der Oralsex' is the more general and more neutral term: it can refer to different genitals and different people. 'der Blowjob' is more specific and means only stimulation of the penis with the mouth and tongue. The word is also more colloquial and direct. Learners may confuse the words because every blowjob is oral sex, but not all oral sex is a blowjob. In medical or factual conversations, 'Oralsex' is usually a better fit.
Die Ärztin sprach sachlich über Schutz vor Krankheiten beim Oralsex.
The doctor spoke matter-of-factly about protection against diseases during oral sex.
