So I've been seeing lots of submits using the word "twink" in the title, which I usually reject since the male models often look underage, but not always. Is this like the new male equivalent of the word "l*lita" or something? Do you other link list owners feel comfortable with this word? Just curious as to what's up with this and where it came from. |confused|

Twink has been around as long as the word gay. Yes it is suppose to be legal 18+ teen boy.

twink is a term that describes smalll, thin, often inexperienced younger guys. It is a very tough word to pin down exactly.

Treat is as you would treat "young" or "girl" - look at the context, and if you are not comfortable (feel they are pandering to pedophiles) then reject the site and move on.

Would a twink that takes an internal cumshot then be a Twinkie?

:D

Yeah, it's a definate grey area, I just didn't know if it was legal or not. Thanks. :)

GG, you may be on to a new niche there. :D

Personally, I don't consider it grey at all. The terms' been around since long before the Internet. It just refers to young-looking, relatively hairless, relatively thin men (as opposed to bears). So, if Ramster were gay, he'd totally be a twink, even though he's, like, 50.

This does raise a few questions about the use of the term - like....

Does "twink" have the same meaning for a male as "******" has for a female?
