The "hanky color code" is a regional phenomenon. In San Francisco in the 70's-80's, a hanky in the left back pocket was generally an indication that one was "active" in the area signified by the color; the same color in the right back pocket was supposed to indicate "passive". (It should also be noted that a lot of the light in gay bars was dim and reddish, which made it very hard to distinguish the colors. You still had to talk to people.)

Black -- SM, pain, whipping. etc.

Red -- fisting

Grey -- bondage

Yellow -- "golden showers:" piss play

Brown -- scat: feces play

White -- virgins or "vanilla" sex

Tan or Olive (later, camophlage) -- military roleplay

What is the meaning of wearing a yellow bandanna tied on your boot?

Wearing a yellow bandanna tied on your boot often signifies membership or affiliation with a specific subculture or community, particularly within some motorcycle clubs or gangs. It can also serve as a symbol of rebellion or a statement of identity. In some contexts, colors may carry specific meanings, so the significance can vary based on location and group culture. Always consider the community norms to understand the specific implications.


Gay bandana meaning?

It depends on where you are. In San Francisco in the 1980's, a black bandanna in the right hip pocket indicated masochism; in the left pocket it indicated sadism. Grey in the right pocket signaled a desire to be tied; in the left pocket a desire to tie someone up. White indicated a beginner or someone who was into beginners. (It also sometimes meant "vanilla" or plain sex without accessories, dress-up, etc.) Red indicated heavy anal sex play. The left/right pattern was reversed in some other parts of the country. Ultimately dozens of colors became involved, but since a lot of gay bars had mostly red lighting it was pretty hard to see what the bandanna color actually was. So you still had to talk to a prospective partner.
