「Twink」是一個男同性戀俚語,常用來形容年齡介乎十幾到二十幾歲之間的男性,他們通常有着苗條至中等的體型和年輕的外表,並且幾乎沒有體毛,往往打扮華麗[5][6][7]。「Twink」可以用作中性描述詞,對比於「熊」[8],也可以用作貶義詞[5][9]。
詞源

「Twink」一詞的確切起源存在爭議。一些文獻將其追溯於1963年,儘管它可能源自一個更古老的英國同性戀俚語詞彙「twank」,意為「同性交易中的男性性工作者,一個願意成為任何支配型男性的『伴侶』的男人」[10]。線上版牛津詞典則稱「twink」源自1970年代[11][12]。
該詞另一個可能的起源是美國的奶油夾心海綿蛋糕(twinkie)。這種食物被描述為「只有較少的營養價值,口感甜美,充滿奶油」;[13][14][15]作為類比,年輕男性被描述為「身材矮小、白膚金髮碧眼,以及充滿奶油(creme)」[14],其中「creme」在英文中是精液的委婉語[14][16]。
「Teenaged, white, into no kink」(不喜歡特殊性行為的少年感白人)的逆向首字母縮略詞可以構建出「twink」,雖然這一特徵並不被普遍接受為將某個個體分類為twink的充分必要條件。[17][18]
使用
[編輯]流行文化
[編輯]喬·麥金尼斯在他的著作《永遠不夠》(Never Enough)中,描述了發生在2003年香港的簡崇諾謀殺案,在法庭案件中,「twink」被定義為「一種同性戀俚語術語,用於指稱年齡在18至23歲之間、身材纖瘦、幾乎沒有體毛的男同性戀,他們通常是金髮,但未必是高加索人種」。[19]
這個術語偶爾也用來形容一些瘦弱且擁有少年感的直男名人,比如提摩西·夏勒梅[20][4][21][22]。但out.com的梅伊·呂德(Mey Rude)反對將其用來指代非同性戀男性。[23]
男同性戀次文化

該術語還是男同性戀文化內的一個次文化。同性戀社群成員可能會自我認同為「twink」,但他們的穩定認同主要來自其他成員的接受。[24]
熱門同性戀男性約會應用程序Grindr將這一術語列為許多「部落」之一,供用戶「識別自己所屬的小眾群體,並通過篩選搜索來找到他們喜歡的類型的人」。[25]
男同性戀色情

Twink在全球消費男同性戀色情產業被廣泛歸為一種類型。[26]該詞還衍生出了例如「femme twink」(陰柔twink)、「Euro twink」(歐洲twink)和「muscle twink」(肌肉twink)等諸多變體[7][27][28]。
評價
[編輯]蘇珊·德賴弗(Susan Driver)認為,「twink」一詞基於年齡歧視和種族主義[26][10]。而瓊斯、夏爾達和埃利奧特注意到,一些聲稱「只被兒童吸引」的人提到,觀看twink色情作品對他們來說是一種合法的性釋放途徑。[29]
