Twink is gay slang for a young man in his late teens to early twenties whose traits may include: general physical attractiveness; little to no body or facial hair; a slim to average build; and a youthful appearance that may belie an older chronological age.

The exact historical origins of the term twink are disputed. Some trace its first appearance to 1963, although it may be derived from an older British gay slang term twank, which means: “The quarry of a homosexual prostitute (male); a man willing and ready to become any dominant man’s ‘partner'” The Oxford Dictionary claims twink has origins in the 1970s.

Another possible origin of the term may be a derivation from the Hostess snack cake Twinkie, commonly regarded as the quintessential junk food: “little nutritional value, sweet to the taste and creme-filled”
