The Gay Hanky Code

Posted by therealsimon in whateves on October 7th, 2008 @ 2:19 pm

Some whateves peeps have wondered what the various colored hanky’s in gay mens back pockets stand for some others may wonder what the hell the hanky code even is?

In the pre-aids 1970’s the hanky code was widely used by gay men to let other men know what they were into sex wise (and it gets very specific). You could find out what your potential sex partner was into before even talking to them. Nowadays we have Craigslist for that. For instance if you wear a magenta colored hanky in your left back pocket it meant you wanted someone to ’suck your pits’ but if you wore it in your right back pocket it meant you were an ‘armpit freak’ who wanted to suck someone else’s pits. Get it?

Some gay men still sport hanky’s in their back pockets and now you can discover what their into or maybe start sporting one of your own. Just make sure you get the color shade right so you don’t get mistaken for a ‘tit torturee’ when you really have a ‘navel fetish’. More fun and Hanky 411 can be found on the Gay Hanky Codes Chart (this was spotted by my peep MikeMoves).
