Why Twinks?

[Blacky94]

Simple Question: What is so great about twinks?

The majority of gay porn seems to be twink porn, and if you go in a gay club you see Twinks everywhere. On GayRomeo twinks get spammed with pervy pms from older men. and here on Gayheaven the majority of pics and vids are also classified as "twink".
I want to be with a man and not with a boy who looks like 18 tops. I understand that different tastes exist, but why is the majority of th gay community obsessed with twinks. What sets them apart from Hunks or Latinos?

I love twinks as long as they don't look 12. A lot of those Euro twinks look 12. There is a difference between twinks who look 12 and twinks who look 18-23ish.

I disagree with the observation that most gay porn these days is with twinks. I see lots of vids posted with hunks and muscle queens. I think the majority of the American studios is non-twink. But most are forbidden to be posted in this forum so you can get the idea that it is all about twinks.

Also, the term 'twink' lacks a clear definition. You can use 'age' as the most important criterium but a 20 year old can be a twink but also be a hunk. So the term 'twink' then is something what someone assumes to be a twink.

I don't mind twinks as long as they look of legal age. Some websites have pictures of boys who I guess are underage, at least they look like it. Legal requirements are sometimes a farce because they can be falsified. And how can an authority verify identity papers if they are only Russian and in a small town in the Ural?

But sometimes you can be fooled by someone's real age. Some time ago BA had a photosession of a boy who looked like 15. Turned out that his real age was 20 at the time of the recording. And as a reputable studio BA takes it legal paperwork very serious so no doubts there. Guess some are lucky with their genes!

I very much disagree that most gay porn is with twinks as well. I like them because I'm not a big guy myself and my fantasies are often about the period when I was that age. I don't tend to fantasize about guys who are not like me.

And why don't we just call them teens? What's up with that?

 

[josh_the_hot_boy]

teens is a bad idea to me that just makes it seem more underage.

 

[intersex2500]

But why are teens a bad idea for gay porn not for straight porn?

Because there are few actresses 20 year olds

I don't think that you're looking at the right websites. There are plenty of sites for masculine, muscular men, that can be seen here, as well. Falcon Studio group, which includes Falcon, Hot House, Raging Stallion, and possible Lucas Entertainment (not sure if they are part of group. There's also Colt, several UK sites, such as UKHJ & UKNM, Hard Kinks. There's also Naked Sword, which has a lot of older/younger scenes, with younger muscle guys hooking up with slightly older muscle men. All of these can also be found on this site, for download. American Muscle Hunks is a new site. Plus Men of Montreal. If you like some kinkier stuff, there is Naked Kink, which has Bound Gods, Naked Kombat, Bound in Public plus some others. :cheers:

To me the porn industry has affected the way, that winks and muscle hunks are really only good for sex. But all the guys I really like, not just sexually, are usually quite normal guys. You know, the kinda 'living room fittnes' If one puts all his emphasis on looks and muscles, clothes etc. well, that will look like that's all there is. At least for me But twinks and hunks in porn, why not? It's just porn.

I mean I find twink porn hot (like I do many other kinda porn) but in real life I always turn down everybody 18-23 years old these days. They just seem like too young, juvenile or smth to me. I mean I have that age group as friends, but I've always liked people nearer to my own age. 23-30. It moves up with my age:-* Actually the age gap have always been bit in favour for older guys than me. But porn vise, it's varies more for some reason.

Hi Otage this is a very good post and I totally agree with you and with every word you have written here.

I don't believe any commercial porn operation would dare take the risk of using material that was actualy underage. Those barely legal photos, some of which are posted here, are of boys whose washed out complexion and underdeveloped bodies are the result of poverty.
Or as they call it nowadays, austerity.
I can't imagine thinking about sex with a boy like that, all I would want to is cook the poor angel a hot meal.
What I think we are looking for in porn is an idealised version of ourselves, fitter, cuter, hornier, the sort of man we would be ourselves if only dreams came true. That's all porn is for, to make our dreams come true for twenty minutes. It has nothing to do with the sort of man we might fall in love with in the real world.

Bravo! dargelos.

Truer words were never spoken.

Thank you!

I also often wonder what the appeal of twinks are. I used to be a twink, until I realized I don't find them attractive in the least. So I joined a gym and now I look more like the kind of guys I want to be with.

Hello Lucas - I'm a gym-lover as well. I never want to be a type like Arnie - but I like a good modeled manly breast, upper arms and thighs. But nonetheless I love in porns fucking twinks. I like their slim bodies - and I think in a special way they are attractive as well. My opinion! :dreaming:

For me it is all about the allure of youth and a little mucle tone dosent hurt

I don't think it's necessarily THE most popular of the gay porn choices but I think it's because it catches young men in the bask of maturity. It sounds lame but that's how I see it. That said, I don't mind "grown" porn involving "bears", "otters", (some) muscle men and the like. And more long hairs...
