I am new to forum and generally everything BDSM, though I do admit to shifting through everything and reading to learn as much as I can. But the reason I have finally gathered the courage to post something is due to my siftings elsewhere on the web.
I had typed 'BDSM Glossary' on Google to see what sort of directories would appear and of course Wiki was one of the contenders. In their glossary something I never heard of, yet it should have been obvious was the mentioning of a secret code of sorts that had originated in the gay community.
'Handkerchief Code'. Different colors in different pockets would mean certain things. For example to not even jump into the myriad of colors, simply wearing the statement of wearing the handkerchief in either the left rear pocket or right rear pocket of the pants will declare whether you are a top, Dom, or Master if worn on the left, while on the other hand, positioning it in the right rear pocket declares being a bottom or submissive/slave.
To give a brief example of the color/design variances black means an interest in BDSM; particularly whipping, yellow for water sports, teal for CBT, and even hounds tooth for biting fetishes.
Now that I have given you an idea for those who have never encountered this idea like I had until earlier this night, I was wondering for those who have and haven't seen this - have you witnessed this. Wittingly or no. Have you practiced this personally? What do you think of the idea at all?

I have a curious analytical mind, so whenever I learn something new I like to get any and all perspectives from others on the idea. So, whatever information to give would be greatly appreciated.


So... thanks for taking the time to read this lengthy post and question, and more thanks if you take the time to help me on my crusade for knowledge


And as warning from me, now that I have gathered courage, I probably will start posting numerous questions similarly or opinion topics such as philosophy and personally experience/history of BDSM/Dominants/submissives.
