You see, if a twink is referred to as having pretty features, they are referred to as a glamour twink.
That’s a twink subtype in case you didn’t know.įYI: Technically speaking, twinks can also be pups but they aren’t exactly the same. In gay-speak, “pups” are fairly young (18-early 20’s) with the defining feature of having almost zero experience in the gay universe. Many pups are newbies to our gay world, just taking their first few steps of self-discovery as part of coming out. Pups can be of all body types, including slender and muscular or roundish and heavy (not the same as a gay cub). Pups can also have body hair or be smooth. Remember, the defining trait for a pup is their newness to the gay world.
After they’ve been out awhile and been exposed to dating, apps, bars, hookups, etc – they then graduate to another classification. So there you have it – the main differences between a twink and a pup for gay men.
