Fristfucking
Senate Majority Leader Sen. Bill Frist sent out some cowboy-themed invites to a fundraiser this week. The Washington Post has the story:
It was with some trepidation that we opened a most interesting card, which announced on a blue-jeaned cowboy’s belt buckle something called the “5th Annual VOLPAC ‘06 Weekend” in Nashville on April 21-23.Problem was you had to unbuckle the cowboy’s pants and look inside to see what this was all about. Seemed a bit too “Brokeback Mountain.”
…the back of the card shows the cowboy from behind with a red flowered handkerchief sticking out of his right pocket. Wait a minute—wasn’t there something about how this used to be some kind of code in the gay community years ago? A way to signal each other in crowded, noisy bars?
So we checked the GayCityUSA.com’s Hanky Codes. Sure enough, there it was in the chart explaining what they mean: red hanky in right pocket. Oh, dear.
That’s where the Washington Post’s piece ends. Being a daily paper, and therefore a “family newspaper,” the WaPo can’t tell its readers—some of whom, the assumption goes, read the entire WaPo aloud to their children at bedtime—exactly what a red hanky in a man’s right-hand back pocket means. It means this: The wearer is advertising himself as a passive partner in a fisting scene. He’s a fistfuckee, in other words. You can read all about fisting here.
I'm pretty sure we're going to need a picture of this thing.
No, not the fisting, the invite!
