Whenever my New York friends and I would see young waifish men running for the subway while clutching oversize designer handbags, we would mention how hard life is for a twink. The other day, I was chatting with a friend about someone with an unfortunate but resilient penchant for masturbating at public urinals. My friend protested: “He’s 30! He’s too old to be a twink.” Then we thought about it. “I don’t even know what that term means anymore,” he said. Like “bear,” “twink” actually refers to a specific category of gay men: one some level mildly effeminate, and definitely skinny and hairless - and roughly between the ages of 18 and 25. In the UK - and this is a phrase that fell out of favor in the U.S. years ago, because it’s kind of gross - the more common word for twink is “chicken,” and a man who preys on them is a “chicken-hawk.” But while other (and newer) gay categories, like “otter” or “wolf,” are merely descriptive, and self-assigned, “twink” is almost always meant as an insult. It’s never a self-descriptor, unless used self-effacingly. A twink is, by implication, naive or clueless and easily overwhelmed by life, luggage and responsible outerwear.

“We like to think that what makes the Twink so attractive is that, along with youth, he retains a certain sense of wonder, enthusiasm and enjoyment in his new found gayness,” explains Dan Anderson’s really not very good Sex Tips For Gay Guys, before dismissing twinks as jobless, broke, wide-eyed bar-hounds. Somewhere along the way “twink” has stopped being just a cutesy, mildly negative stereotype and become something more malignant: An easy shorthand for a lot of vicious stereotypes about gay people, a way to covertly make fun not just of someone’s mild gender variance but really their “gayness” as well. The origins of the word are a little bit nebulous, but it seems to have first emerged some time in the late 1950s.
