how do people weigh in on this issue?
personally, i'm not sure there's a direct correlation between heat withstanding and sexual orientation. but, some have suggested otherwise.
some have even suggested that the name itself, "java jacket," has a high percentage of what marketing executives would call "gay friendly" appeal.
what do you guys think? and, do you or do you not use java jackets?
personally, in a self-serve java jacket scenario, i usually pass unless it's extremely hot. but, i'm also confident enough in my sexuality that, if a coffee establishment already puts them on, i'm not going to remove mine or try to hide it . because that would be silly. i mean, it's only a java jacket, right? (or is it?) |

I'm not and I don't know what the hell it is...then again i'm not very hip with the times. Is it a jacket made of coffee? If so then, where can I get one...and are refills free?

I've never heard of a java jacket either, and why would it have anything to do with sexual orientation?

OK I just googled it, apparently a java jacket is a little paper belt you put around a cup of coffee so as not to burn your hands when you hold it. I'm straight and I wouldn't have a problem with using one, I mean if you were going to burn your hands why the hell not. This thread is pretty hillarious actually, are you being serious when you say this has become assocciated with homosexuality floop? Is it some sort of macho thing like 'I can take the heat' or something? I tried to add a picture but it wouldn't load so have a link instead...

Come to think of it I don't actually drink hot drinks at all, so I must be super straight (I do have a very hairy chest for a 19 year old). But hypothetically I wouldn't have a problem using one.

Ha, very nice sig cheeseman VERY NICE.
I prefer my man legs but hey, thats me.
As we are on the topic of homosexuality:
I go out regularly to the local alt club probably twice a week. About one month ago a group of guys were looking at me, now it was a little unerving cos its not normal. Eventually a fellow came over to ask if I was gay because his friend fancied me (a guy). I said no but was intrigued to see why he thought I was. So I went and asked, he just said nice things which I won't go into detail about and said I wasnt coming across as gay. I thought nothing more of it. The following week a girl comes over to ask if Im gay cos her friend likes me (different guy) I say no.
So my mate Im with laughs and says it must be something about me, he suggests that the fact I wear a cardigan and I sometimes let it drop over one shoulder (cos Im hot) I look gay. Ok I thought. I'll not wear it again. The following week I was acosted internally by my (ex)girlfriends mate. Later she asked me If I was gay!? Why? And again last night a girl came up to me and asked if I was gay. NO CARDIGAN!!!
So 4 cases of this in one month! Until now I had no idea what a java jacket it was and I stopped wearing my cardigan. Its flattering but a little weird. I feel like the Kevin Klein (in and out)
Oops little long winded. Well done if you read all of that.

I've got a friend M. Johnson, and everybody in town knew he was gay. Except him. Took him about 5 years to figure it out, and we were all excited for him when he did.
Just a thought, Malax.

I used to work at a coffee shop and we would always have discussions about what is whimpy:
Java jackets are a little whipmy, unless you are drinking tea.The tea water is much hotter than coffee.
Men who ask for lots of sugar, or cream.
I think men who drink their coffee black are sexy.
I don't know why. |

I don't know. I used to put a java jacket regularly, and I'm not gay. But I haven't been drinking tea for almost 4 months now, so I even forgot how it feels like to have that jacket next to your skin.

Actually, I used to consider java jackets as a pain in the ass. Now, when I'm reconsidering it, it reminds me of the soft taste and smell of tea. Maybe I should drink tea again.

They kinda are a pain...they don't seem to fit on perfectly which can lead to fiddling, which as a result(whenever I'm involved) leads to crucial spillage of whatever beverage may be in the cup.
I'm quite clumsy sometimes.

I had thought of that. But I assume its a little different. No one has ever mentioned it until recently and its only been people I don't know. Well maybe in 5 years ill have a better idea.

I know a few things about these jackets and I can say: No, using one does not make you gay, but requesting one does.
And yes, straight men do not put milk, cream, or sugar into their coffee. They do, however, pour in a small amount of liquor, like Bailey's, if they want to, anytime between Thanksgiving and New Year's Eve.
Something scary I've seen at work is men wearing strings or chains on their eyeglasses. I've tried telling my friend from Cambodia that only schoolteachers and gay men do that but he won't listen. He says that the supervisors do it and then I have to point out their piercings and the Rollerblading that I know about. |

Those java cup holder things always dig into my fingers and feel like thier going to give me a paper cut, and they feel like thier going to rip so I don't use them. On the gay thing, I'm straight, but I've had people I know telling me they thought I was gay or bi, I think it was because I hang around alot with female freinds without other guys. But one time was my own fault after I told a friend of a freind I wanted to ensconse him in velvet, I was joking about Seinfeild to another friend and he took it the wrong way

I drink my coffee with no sugar, cream, or anything else-- 100% manly coffee-- only beans and water. Still, I sometimes need a little insulation so I take a jacket. Otherwise I might drop it on my way back to the office. There's nothing gay about not wanting to be scalded.

In France, our cups are specially designed so you can never burn your hands. That way noone ever knows you are gay.

casually blowing off being scalded by hot water is one of the cornerstones of being a heterosexual male. |

Ha, I knew a guy who spilled a hot cup of herbal tea on himself once, and had to lie in a bath of cold water. He got hypothermia, which seems like a foolish thing to do.
Still, some serious lessons here.
If I get coffee out, I tend to go for espresso or ristretto, so it doesn't have a chance to be spilled before the whole thing is poured down my neck.
Also, it makes me look both manly and sophisticated to drink strong coffee, even if I do have sugar. I think even the French and Italians have sugar with espresso.

textbook example of someone who's going through a sexual identity crisis (like Malax).
the herbal tea thing alone is suspect. but having to take a cold bath after being scalded by boing water?? and getting hypothermia??
let me ask you another question, does this guy have any Madonna albums? or own the FLASHDANCE dvd? |

Har har. Nope, I'm pretty sure not.
I steer well clear of 'girls tea', its the work of some evil mastermind, and therefore not to be trusted. I've only just learned to like rooibos, which is like a healthy version of normal tea.

opting to use "java jacket" makes you gay?
