Interestingly enough, 'fags' are still cigarettes in Europe. And the female inhabitants of the island of Lesbos were infamous in the ancient days for their talents in oral sex. Back then, if yoiu called a woman a 'lesbian' or 'woman of Lesbos' you were saying she gave great head.

* About the word 'fag', I hadn't thought of the analogy - thanks. Is it not used for 'ciggies' in the US?
* About 'Lesbians' being women famous for giving head, was that to each other? Or is this expression only used in relation to men??

Men, apparently. We only have writing from men for the most part from that era. It was all about them.
