Wearing a bandana is not always about fashion. Originally from San Francisco in the 1970s, the handkerchief or bandana code, also called the hanky code, is a gay flagging system, an original way for people from the gay community to indicate their sexual preferences or fetish discreetly. By wearing a colored hanky on the left or right, front or bottom, they can communicate what they’re into and find the right partners for a pleasurable moment.
Handkerchief color code
Colors are important. Whether you wear a yellow or red hanky in your back pocket, it won’t have the same meaning. There’s a whole code to understand. But don’t worry, we’ll explain everything to you!
Orange handkerchief code
The orange hanky color code means ‘Anything goes’. What does that mean exactly? Well, literally, anything goes. This color is for gay people seeking to discover new sexual pleasures and original ways of having fun. Wearing an orange bandana will open the doors to several worlds of intense sensations.
Blue code
You should know that light or dark blue doesn’t have the same meaning. Light blue goes for oral sex, while dark blue is a signal for bottom lovers. Depending on your preferences, pick the right shade of blue bandana to find the right gay partner 😉
