The Hanky
Code is a traditional form of signaling to others what your sexual preferences
and interests are. Gay men used this code to communicate with each other in the
noisy and distracting environment of gay bars. Although not as widely used these
days, it is still a worthwhile resource and is, among those who know, a great
conversation starter.
Hankies can also be worn around the
wrist, around the ankle or leg at the thigh above the knee, or around the neck with
the tie going either right or left. Other objects can also be used
such as keys and keychains or watch fobs and even a set of handcuffs, to
let people know if you are 'top' or 'bottom'. If worn in the back on
the center belt loop, it translates as 'versatile'.
