A duo of California entrepreneurs, Jonathan Leach and Karl Burkart, are attempting to breathe new life into the hanky code. For the young folks and those not in the know, the hanky code is a practice in which gay men use colored handkerchiefs to indicate their sexual preferences and activities they enjoy. It was heavily used in the 1970s.
Hanky code revivalists have been shaking their fists for years, longing for the days of ol' school cruising. It's a losing battle, considering that very few guys are willing to wear ridiculous handkerchiefs in their back pocket. And even fewer guys actually know the code.
With that said, Leach and Burkart are taking a creative approach to bringing the hanky back. They've created an iPhone application in which you can generate a digital handkerchief. All you need to do is flash your fuchsia hanky at some hottie, and you'll be spanking him in no time. And to solve that problem about guys not knowing the code? The app includes a guide that explains the various hanky meanings.
Just one question–if you want to tell someone that you're a geek-loving size queen who's into rimming and mutual masturbation, do you need four iPhones to do so?

this is so stupid, i know in america people are very into their roles and stuff, but in europe we are much more versatile…
ive fucked loads of guys who say theyre active… so going by hankys would be really restricting
besides, isnt it the persons looks that matter, not what proclivities they have – id piss on a really hot guy if he wanted me to, but there is no way id give an ugly guy a blow job if he wanted one…
so so so 70s and dumb
Wouldn’t it be more effective to make phone covers/protectors to do this. That way there’s still some mystery and intrigue involved, and one isn’t forced to overtly wave his phone at someone. Instead one could simply coyly use the phone, while the back, clad in the code specific hanky, is being displayed.
I think its cool. So many different shades for completely different things. Could wear Chamois (motorcycles) and in a dark club it would look brown (scat). Not a confusion I could laugh about.
What about younger guys who are into older, rich guys. Would an Hermes scarf be acceptable? LMAO.
Some of those are so truly stupid…
the paisley design was never really outlined much in hankey code 😛
the SM hankerchief will be pesky however… most guys are just gonna think it’s turned off!
lol, mustard argyle 🙂
“this is so stupid, i know in america people are very into their roles and stuff, but in europe..”
Shut.the.fuck.up.
what about if you have a cold and u stick a tissue in your pocket after you blow your nose, and people then start cumming over you because its white and they think thats what youre into, but you actually just have a snotty nose
you americans are trash and stupid… all of europe laughs at u
I think that its a good idea, i have an appearance that doesn’t match what most people would think. When I go places like bathouses I am always treated like a “BBC” top, when I am really a pig bottom and would love a way to flash so that I don’t end up acting as a top as often.
Methjo just remember if not 4 America all of u Europeans would be laughing with a German accent !!!
ITS A GOOD IDEA, IF YOU HAVE THE PHONE CAPABILITY…..LOL
