You Don’t Need To Be Young To Be A Twink, Embrace It!

You Don't Need To Be Young To Be A Twink, Embrace It!

Well Sexy Bitches, it is officially Pride season! Break out the flags and cue the gland! Um, the band! This year, we have to be louder and prouder, and that means in your own life too. Celebrate your identity, celebrate yourself, be loud and proud, and dont' give a fuck what anyone else has to say or think. Do you, boo. As I get older (not too much older, don't play), my friends and I are dealing with our twink identity. If you look at gay porn, a hot guy turns into a daddy at age 30. WTF? Also, there is the newish range called the twunk, not quite a twink, but not quite a daddy either. What's a gay to do? At what age do you need to give up your twinkie identity? Well, bitches, I'm here to tell you that you don't. Being a twink is an energy, not a goddman age range. But there are rules.

No one wants to be limited by a label. No one is just one type or one energy; we, as gay men, have many different facets to us. That being said, some of us don't want to give up our twink identity and, mostly, that's ok. Girl, we are doing Botox and skincare at age 21 now, so you can grab on to our youth just a bit more. But it really is more about energy, and celebrating that energy. Some of us gays use twink as a slur, being mean girls saying that being a young gay means you are only concerned about looks, have no brains, have no body hair, and have a waist of 30 inches or less. Yes, many times this can be very true.

Age is nothing but a numerical value. There are many older gays who are smooth, pocket-sized, and have a youthful, innocent, and optimistic outlook towards life. What's wrong with that? If it looks like a duck, why not let it be known as a duck. If you are still embracing your youthful appearance and demeanor, you work that twink energy, Hennie. Don't let anyone steal your thunder or your shine. But, this comes with a warning. Know when it is time to throw in the towel. There is nothing sadder than an 80-year old wearing raver pants, glowsticks, with blonde spiky hair, trying to take a million selfies at the club while sniffing a line with the other guys in the bathroom. Don't overstay your twink welcome. There's being youthful with sincerity, and then there's being desperate. There is no shame in aging, there is no shame in maturing into a different era of your true self. If you are forcing yourself to wear a style of clothing that makes you roll your eyes, if you are feeling close to death the next after partying, or if you are waking up self tanner all over your Depends, then it might be time to change your game.

You can fully embrace your twink label, it is about your energy and youthful disposition, it is about joy and cheer and celebration. Guess what? You can also embrace your other labels? Feel like a bear? Feel like a dom? You can be all of these things because there is no one like you and you can't be pushed into a box.

So let your freak flag fly high this Pride and embrace whatever you want to be. And if some young thing pushes you out of the way at the bar to order a skinny margarita, don't give up your spot while you order a gin martini, give them some sass, and impress them with your mature twink energy. 50 is the new twinkie.
