The term is often used as a neutral descriptor, which can be contrasted with other gay subcultures such as bears, otters, and daddies). However, it can also be used as a pejorative). The term "twink" is commonly used in the gay pornography industry and is often modified by various descriptors such as "femme twink," "Euro twink," and "muscle twink"). The exact origins of the term are disputed, but it may have originated 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 mans partner"). While the term "twink" is primarily used to describe gay men, it has also been used to describe young, slim, and effeminate men who are not gay.
