(no subject)

Apparently, when I write, I like to make things difficult for myself, because I have having to write a sex scene where no word can be explicit. Because argh! (actually because historical fiction and two characters who are both, for plot reasons, trying to ignore that they are having sex with each other).

For horrifying related reasons, I now need to know

1) did Belle Epoque Europe have lollipops?
2) What they called them, if they did?
