Gay men often operate descriptive terms to identify and label other men within the wider gay community. No suspect you’ve heard of some of these labels, such as jock, otter, bear, cub, wolf, and so forth. But many gay men often wonder what these terms actually mean.
How many times have you approached your friends and asked them, “What am I? Which group do I fall into? And what the heck is a wolf?”
Maybe you’ve even sent them a bathroom mirror selfie wanting some answers.
After conducting extensive research on gay body types, collecting survey beliefs from gay blogs, and plugging the data into high-grade statistical analysis software, the typologies of gay male body types can now be revealed. Much of the examination draws upon find phrases via Google’s algorithms. Nothing was left to chance.

Finally, some may disagree with these labels as there continues to be ongoing friction regarding what they mean. This is simply an try to offer clarity.
The Otter
Most of the aging process doesn’t scare me. The idea of having gray hair is stimulating, so long as I still have hair when that moment comes. I think my grin lines make me look dashing in some lights. (In others, like Annabelle.) I have no reason to touch my toes, so no biggie there. If I end up aging anything like my mother, I’ll possess close to zero complaints.
What does scares me though, is the idea of being an ancient twink. Here's a crash course for my beloved straight readers: In the gay community, there are different sub-categories of gays. I’m not exactly sure how they came to be, but surely it has something to do with the innate require to group things together by category. (Think #organizationporn.) Whatever the reason, a multitude of factors play into how you’re sorted, but by large, they show up down to your age and body type.
A twink is a young, skinny, typically hairless adolescent gay man like Justin Beiber.
A bear is an older, heavier set gay man with ample body and facial hair favor Ron Offerman.
An otter is appreciate a bear but leaner appreciate Zachary Quinto.
Those are just three of them — there are plenty more. Jock, snake, cub, wolf, pup, pocket gay, daddy, beaver. (Just kiddi
What Even Is a Twink, Anyway?
IF YOU LOOK a certain way—skinny, smooth-skinned, fresh for your age—or even just spend a lot of time online, then there's a possibility that you might have heard the word "twink." This term, coined and originally used exclusively by homosexual men, refers to a man (usually in his late teens or preliminary 20s), with a narrow build, and no body hair or facial hair. Youth and slightness of physique are the main characteristics: two celebrities who are most commonly cited as embodying the twink aesthetic are Timothée Chalamet and Troye Sivan, who represent a softer, slenderer alternative to the more typically swole male iconography that permeates culture.
There is some crossover here with the recently coined “rat boy” aesthetic, which similarly eschews hypermasculinity in favor of a kind of lean, goofy coolness.(Mike Faist and Josh O’Connor in the first half of Challengers, for instance, are both twinks and rodent boyfriends in turn.)
There are also a few alternative types of twinks. A muscle twink, or twunk (think “twink” + “hunk”) is somebody with that youthful, fresh-faced appearance, but a more visibly muscular physique; think Tom Holland or H
