Twink is gay slang for a male who is usually in his late teens to twenties whose other traits may include a slim physique, a youthful appearance, and little or no body hair. The age range for twinks is generally considered to be from around 18 to 25 years old. Twink is used both as a neutral descriptor, which can be compared with bear, and as a pejorative.
