Yes I'm Flagging

by Archie Bongiovanni

From the author of A Quick Guide To They/Them Pronouns, this illustrated zine is all about the nonverbal ways we can communicate about our desires for some casual nsfw fun.

You *know* that cutie with the red bandanna around their neck is wearing that hanky on purpose―but WHY!? This zine will break it down for ya!

Queer Flagging 101 is a great introduction to what flagging is and how you can use it, plus a few resources for where you can explore the topic in a little more depth!

Includes the history of flagging and the nuance between various shades and colors.

A picture book for adults about very adult activities. I've no need for the system -- and would probably mess it up if I did, since I often have problems telling my left from my right -- but it was still a quick, fun, and informative read.

A great, quick resource for those who want to know the basics of flagging! I love Bongiovanni’s work and this guide is no exception. Very queer, 10/10.

Quick and sweet. Grabbed it off hoopla one day. Not super in depth but a good look at this bit of queer history.

Frank, informative, wonderfully (and non-graphically fyi) illustrated.

A super basic introduction to flagging, written in a very casual way. I would have given this another star if it had covered more colors. That said, I did learn a few things.

A quick, simple intro to flagging for queer people! This is my first intro to really learning about flagging, so I definitely want to read more about it and more in-depth works about it (and a couple are provided at the beginning of this zine!). This zine knows it's a 101 intro and doesn't shy away from that or try to be more than that, which I appreciate! Good for anyone who wants to learn about flagging for practical use or to learn a little bit more about queer history! (though if you want something more in-depth, that maybe goes more into the history of it, I would look elsewhere)

This is an awesome book! I was really interested in the concept of flagging but so much of the info on it is scattered. This really helped me learn and also learn more about what I could look up to gain even more info! 10/10

pictures are good. most of the info is um accurate. there's a couple over generalizations and one line that I have no idea where the author got the info, but it's wrong. no, chart included. most online guides are generally better.

I recently heard the term “flagging” but had no idea what it meant. This book was a quick read but very thorough.

If you already know about flagging, this is a good reminder. If you've never heard of it, this is a good primer.
