I wasn’t until many years after I figured out I was Gay, that the “Hanky Code” terrified me. You see, the Men in my Family always carried a hanky. We had every color under the Sun. My little Sister would “steal” our hanky’s, and use them as “Barbie Blankets”. So, you can see why I was scared as Hell, once I found out what the “Code” was. I never followed it, or flew my colors. I’m right handed, so my wallet was always in my right back pocket, and my hanky’s were always in my left.
interesting!
I wasn’t aware of the hanky code until long after there was any sort of widespread use – I think some of the colors can still be seen – yellow, black, red…. but c’mon! some of those variations on blue – light blue, Robin’s egg blue, navy blue, medium, teal??? Has anyone been in a bar or sex club and been able to SEE, in the murky lighting, the distinctions of shades of blue? “Ooops, sorry, was I supposed to fuck you? Sorry I tortured your cock n balls, I misread your hanky!”
and doily for tearoom top or bottom?? seriously wear a doily into a tearoom and expect sex? It’s the hanky military industrial complex behind trying to get guys to buy dozens of different color hankies, i tell you!
(note the article in the Stallion pic even points out the lighting issue)
