If there's no universally agreed apon hanky code then why try to present one?

Hanky codes are not even used any more, not at least in a notable scale. We are trying to show what it once used to be, what it meant for the LGBT community. Even then, the colors and the system weren't universal, but there were some standarts such as the different shades of blue. I think it's nice to at least mention what it once was. --dionyziz 21:41, 29 October 2005 (UTC).[reply]

Colors

There in an interesting implication here that gay men have extremely fine perception of colours in the blue-green range, even under disco lighting.

Maybe they carry Pantone color chip sets along with the condoms and poppers.

69

What is the difference between "69er" and "69ee"? Surely there is a symmetry in 69. If we must have this sort of stuff in Wikipedia, please explain it. -- Tarquin 10:23 Oct 29, 2002 (UTC)

I just found out that this is also covered under hanky codes, but there is no list at that entry.

I think there was an old standard that the left pocket was an "active er" and the right was a "passive ee", or the other way around, but for the 69 practice, it doesn't really make sense... =S 85.226.122.237 21:25, 16 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Revert Clearing?

Recent revision states: "(removed info of purely salacious value)" -- Surely the info of purely salacious value is the entire point of this subject. We should revert.

Agreed. I think that we should revert the edits, although it's been some time since they were done. Please state your opinion for or against reverting; if nobody disagrees I shall proceed in re-adding (the most important at least) parts of the Handkerchief Code colors. --dionyziz 21:17, 22 July 2005 (UTC).[reply]
Alright, then, I'm going to re-add parts of the cleaned content. If you think it should not be added, please state your opinion here, instead of cleaning it once again. Thank you. --dionyziz 12:36, 1 August 2005 (UTC).[reply]
Done. Any suggestions for further modifications are appreciated. --dionyziz 12:57, 1 August 2005 (UTC).[reply]


Many terms are puzzling. What does it mean that someone is looking for "unsatisfying sex"???
Case in point Sandalwood for "Carpenter Sex". That term realy deserves some explanation...I don't suppose it's someone's idea of a joke? It seems rather implausable, and i can't imagine what it might be if real.
