(Ahem) Class is now in session. . . .
You in the back, quiet down before you run them sheep off again. ...
Jenny, are you listening?
Today's topic, class, is "The Hankie Code."
Yes, indeed, all those different colored bandannas for sale at the Leatherman are known in certain gay circles as "hankies." They are used to indicate interest in various forms of sexual activity, and the role one is interested in playing in that activity. The various colors indicate the activity. One's preferred role is indicated by which back pocket of one's trousers one uses to display the hankie. Left indicates active role, or "top," and right indicates passive role, or "bottom." Collectively, this is known as "the Hankie Code."
Some of the more common colors and what they indicate are as follows:
Navy/dark blue: fucking
Light blue: oral sex
Gray: B&D (bondage and discipline; also commonly bondage without discipline)
Black: Heavy S&M
Yellow: "water sports" or "golden showers" (NB: frequently involves imbibing large quantities of beer beforehand; does
not involve bathtubs, swimming pools, etc.)
White: masturbation (not common)
Kelly green: hustler (left), john (right)
Hunter green: "daddy" (left), "boy" (right)
Red: doesn't involve blood, but you don't want to go there
Orange: anything, anytime (left), nothing right now (right)
This concludes today's lesson, class. There will be a quiz tomorrow.
