What Is A Twink?

I think it's a guy 18 to 20 years old.
My understanding has been any guy from age 18 -29.
Here is what Wikipedia says:
Twink or twinkie is a gay slang term describing a young or young-looking gay man (usually in his late teens or early twenties) with a slender build, little or no body hair, and no facial hair.[4][5] In some societies, the term chick or chicken is preferred.[6] Twinkle-toes is a related term also used, usually in a derogatory manner, to imply a man is effeminate.[7] The terms can be complimentary or pejorative.[8][9]
The term's namesake is the "golden-colored phallic-shaped snack cake" Hostess Twinkie, commonly regarded as the quintessential junk food: "little nutritional value, sweet to the taste and creme-filled."[10][11][12] Cream is among the well-known food-related euphemistic terms for ejaculate.[13] In Queering Pornography: Desiring Youth, Race and Fantasy in Gay Porn, essayist Zeb J. Tortorici notes that gay twink porn thrives on the production and performance of "consumable and visually/anally receptive masculinity."[14]
Origin
A twink is "memorable for his outer packaging", not his "inner depth".[11] The golden color also alludes to those who are excessively sun tanned.[15] The junk food reference has a number of connotations, including a perceived lack of intelligence and being ideal only for a short term, but not having lasting qualities or being very healthy.[15] Most of these concerns no longer apply, as the definition of twink has broadened, and qualifiers (such as muscle or femme) narrow the meaning to a more specific type of twink.[15] Although the term originated from the United States snack food, both the cake and twink have found international use.[10][16][17]
Usage
Twinks are often clean-shaven (if they have facial hair) to emphasize a youthful, fresh-faced appearance, although a lot are too young to have beard growth. The term has been used by bears in a derogatory and pejorative manner.[8] In some cases, it is a neutral descriptive term, and can be contrasted with bear.[18] Closely related (in the United States) is boi, although this generally represents a more feminine look or a generational way of defining oneself. The term is often modified by various descriptors, e.g., femme twink, Euro twink and muscle twink. The term is often used in the gay porn industry.
There is a backronym that states that twink stands for "teenaged, white, into no kink", although none of these criteria are either necessary or sufficient to be a twink.[19][20]

That's so cool Jayman. I bookmarked that page in Wikipedia years ago lol...
to me a twink is a young slender guy whose testosterone hasn't yet turned him into a "frat boy" ( who's a bit older, a bit more muscled, dusted with some nice body hair).
Tyler is the eternal twink to me, and Diesal is the paradigmatic frat boy type.
I think the term is more a description of body type now, and has lost it's denigrating flavor of "blondeness", at least in TYLER's case, hear me?

Dude I totally agree with everything that you just said. I have been having a lot of fun lately in between classes. A friend of mine's son recently came to her and told her he was bisexual. LOL So, she has asked me to spend some time talking to him and covering the areas of dating that she cannot cover as easily.
This whole twink thing came up as an issue. He is very impressionable right now. I have not shown him the Broke Straight Boys site yet. Maybe in a year or so. Hopefully he will discover it on his own. LOL He is Bipolar and he has D&A issues. Dad abandoned him when he was very young. He has a GF right now. He may have gotten her pregnant. LOL He is pretty confused but is starting to make progress with his addiction and he is working through issues with his depression. I have pretty much been like an uncle since he was 5. He has a lot of respect for me. Anyway he loved the term "twink." He calls me all of the time to go work out at the gym or he will ask me for rides to meetings when he feels he really needs to talk. Sorry, for getting off topic here.
Back to the whole twink thing. He said, "you mean there is a name for young guys like me," and he just laughed.

Hey Jayman, thanks for the info. after all that I just know that I love to eat them. Hope you friends does ok, I do meetings also, couple 24 hrs.
Yeah, he is just kind of finding himself now. He still has his days when he would rather get drunk or high than hit a meeting but he is tuffing it out. Being 18 and an addict he would probably jump at the chance to try and model just to get the money and party. The whole Broke Straight Boys type thing would be very alluring right now. He still isn't at that stage where he is making rational decisions yet. I told his mom it is a good thing he is still on probation for another year. It is a lot easier to keep him on the straight and narrow path. However; I also told his mom soon there won't be anything anyone can do to hold him back. He will just need to get out there and experience life the through the school of hard knocks. He has to want his recovery we cannot do that for him. He likes to gross out his younger sister by taking those Nathan's hot dogs deep throating the whole thing and making it re appear. She keeps asking me how he can do that... I guess I kind of feel bad because I told his sister it was a guy thing. LOL I will tell her the truth one day. OK, I plan to tell her one day. LOL
He enjoys sharing my voyeur license I mean gym pass. He is a little devil I tell you. He can find more ways to attempt a secret rendezvous than most of us can imagine.

I knew many young guys like him. Most came out a little scathed, but lived to tell their tale.
LOL! @ the deep throating Nathan hotdogs! It's a guy thing!
Better not tell her at this time, it is also a girl thing.

LOL I figure he would teach her one day. Until then it is his little secret. LOL
