“Twink”是一个男同性恋俚语,常用来形容年龄介乎十几到二十几岁之间的男性,他们通常有着苗条至中等的体型和年轻的外表,并且几乎没有体毛,往往打扮华丽[5][6][7]。“Twink”可以用作中性描述词,对比于“熊”[8],也可以用作贬义词[5][9]。

“Twink”一词的确切起源存在争议。一些文献将其追溯于1963年,尽管它可能源自一个更古老的英国同性恋俚语词汇“twank”,意为“同性交易中的男性性工作者,一个愿意成为任何支配型男性的‘伴侣’的男人”[10]。线上版牛津词典则称“twink”源自1970年代[11][12]。
该词另一个可能的起源是美国的奶油夹心海绵蛋糕(twinkie)。这种食物被描述为“只有较少的营养价值,口感甜美,充满奶油”;[13][14][15]作为类比,年轻男性被描述为“身材矮小、白肤金发碧眼,以及充满奶油(creme)”[14],其中“creme”在英文中是精液的委婉语[14][16]。
“Teenaged, white, into no kink”(不喜欢特殊性行为的少年感白人)的逆向首字母缩略词可以构建出“twink”,虽然这一特征并不被普遍接受为将某个个体分类为twink的充分必要条件。[17][18]
使用
[编辑]流行文化
[编辑]乔·麦金尼斯在他的著作《永远不够》(Never Enough)中,描述了发生在2003年香港的简崇诺谋杀案,在法庭案件中,“twink”被定义为“一种同性恋俚语术语,用于指称年龄在18至23岁之间、身材纤瘦、几乎没有体毛的男同性恋,他们通常是金发,但未必是高加索人种”。[19]
这个术语偶尔也用来形容一些瘦弱且拥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·吕德(Mey Rude)反对将其用来指代非同性恋男性。[23]
男同性恋次文化

该术语还是男同性恋文化内的一个次文化。同性恋社群成员可能会自我认同为“twink”,但他们的稳定认同主要来自其他成员的接受。[24]
热门同性恋男性约会应用程序Grindr将这一术语列为许多“部落”之一,供用户“识别自己所属的小众群体,并通过筛选搜索来找到他们喜欢的类型的人”。[25]
男同性恋色情

Twink在全球消费男同性恋色情产业被广泛归为一种类型。[26]该词还衍生出了例如“femme twink”(阴柔twink)、“Euro twink”(欧洲twink)和“muscle twink”(肌肉twink)等诸多变体[7][27][28]。
评价
[编辑]苏珊·德赖弗(Susan Driver)认为,“twink”一词基于年龄歧视和种族主义[26][10]。而琼斯、夏尔达和埃利奥特注意到,一些声称“只被儿童吸引”的人提到,观看twink色情作品对他们来说是一种合法的性释放途径。[29]
