The
Hanky Codes
how
to use them,
what they mean...
For
those of you who don't know about it, the hanky code works as follows.
What you do is have a certain color handkerchief partially hanging out of
your back pocket, tied around your head or to your jacket. The Left/right
code is combined with this so that if it is worn on the left the
person is a dom (or top), worn on the right means sub (or bottom). Having
a hanky hanging out of both of your back pockets means: "looking for
someone, don't matter what role I have to play." The different colors
(and materials) have different specific meanings to indicate the
wearers additional preferences.
The
hanky code is mainly used by the gay community, however, some
heterosexuals do use a few of them, for instance the black or gray colors to indicate whether they're seeking heavy play or soft
play.

A black & yellow striped hanky is gaining popularity in the gay
community.
(The stripes are on a 45 degree slant, so it looks like the electrical
"CAUTION" signs)
So
there you have the Unabridged Hanky Code. Remember, it's unabridged
because we haven't taken anything out...but that doesn't mean it's
complete! If you know of some other ways that handkerchiefs (or other
specific materials or items) are used as signals please do be sure to send
an email with info about it.
