Gay Body Types Explained

Twink
Twinks are slim, petite, sometimes feminine, and have no body hair. They’re smooth and lithe, like a seal.

Twunk
Twunks are trim and lean petite, with little to no body hair. Crucially, they have some muscle definition, especially in the chest and arms.

Bear
Bears are super hairy with high body fat. They usually have beards and big bellies, but not always, and tend to be on the older side.

Cub
Cubs are essentially younger bears, who probably have less (or even no) body hair.

Chub
A bear without any of the hair.

Otter
Otters are in the middle of the spectrum. Sorta hairy, pretty fit, some muscles. Lithe, but also powerful.

Fox
Foxes are like the older version of otters. Usually graying, sleek, and svelte.

Jock
Jocks are fit, athletic guys who are into sports. They definitely have muscle, but it’s not their whole thing.

Wolf
Wolves are like jocks, but they spend their time in the gym rather than on the field or the court. Muscles are a bigger part of their “thing.”

Bull Bulls are like the final boss of the muscle category. They’re huge, and the gym is life. They could lift a car, or a few otters, or several twinks.
