Lesbians and gay men have become normalized in pop culture to a point that terms we use to describe one another have become more commonplace. I was even asked by co-worker to define another staff member by these images.
In an effort to explain some differences, here’s how body image types break down for gay men.
So let’s start with twinks. Generally speaking, these are younger gay men who have a thin to slimly athletic build. Also, they don’t have a lot of body hair, and the chest is usually smooth.
Some guys will shave their chests and armpits to conform to this body image. I think that the term came from Twinkies. You know — young, dumb and full of … moving on.
Up next are the otters. They tend to be hairier overall, still with that thin to slimly athletic build. I’ve seen guys of various ages take the image label of an otter, though it tends to be men under 40.
Closely related to the otters are the foxes. Basically a fox is an otter over forty. One buddy of mine described foxes as the cougars of the gay male community.
Then we have the bears. Like otters, men of various ages identify as a bear. These are larger-bodied or muscular-bodied men that have body hair. Think about the large-bodied construction workers that you may see on Caltrans job sites or a furry bodybuilder.
Finally we have cubs. These are the bears that don’t have body hair.
Sometimes there may be a reference to a gay man as a daddy. While this generally is used to describe the elder partner in a cross-generational relationship, there is a component of dominance when it is used as a self-identifier.
On top of all that there are those who identify as chasing a certain type. Bear-chaser, twink-chaser, etc.
People should be careful applying these terms to gay men they know. Some of us are extremely sensitive to the type we identify with.
At the end of the day, these are often the terms used to filter results on Grindr, the gay Tinder, or other such dating (I mean “dating”) websites or apps. These terms don’t reflect the many variations of men’s bodies. Some people reject these images altogether.
While these images may seem humorous, on the surface they still reflect a society that places too much importance on such trivial things. Despite the widespread use of these terms, they still carry their own stereotypes.

Gay slang originated out of necessity. Gay men wanted to be able to speak in public without revealing their sexuality, especially in places and times of extreme LGBTQ+ persecution. Thus, gay lexicon was born. Over the years, gay slang has evolved, and it’s sometimes tough to keep up. So here they are, all the creatures in the queer animal kingdom, fully explained. We’ll start off with the ones you’re more likely to know, and then move into some of the less common critters.
Ah, the bears, one of the oldest and largest subgroups of the gay community. Bears are on the heavier side, either muscular, beefy, or chunky. The wouldn’t dream of shaving their body hair (which comes in abundance) and they usually have a full beard to match. They exude masculinity, and are some of the kindest men you’ll meet in your entire life. There are many subtypes of bears, like a polar bear, which is a older bear with white hair.
A baby bear. As bears are typically older men, cubs are younger ones. Large, hairy guys in their teens and 20’s who are on their way to becoming a bear.
A twink is the polar opposite of a bear. Skinny and hairless and often a little more on the feminine side. Chicken is a word used to describe a young twink and twunk is a more muscular twink (think Justin Bieber).
Someone who’s in between a twink and a bear. Medium build and hairy. Otters come in all ages with all different types of facial hair. Otters often trim their chest hair and manscape their bodies, but always leave at least some hair.
Similar to an otter, a wolf has some hair and is in between a twink and a bear. However, there are some key differences between wolves and otters. Wolves typically have a lean, muscular build and are sexually aggressive.
The gay man who spends every waking minute at the gym, talking about how he needs to go to the gym, or how he’s coming from the gym.
As you might imagine, pigs are more focused on sex than anything else, often into kinkier and somewhat seedier sexual practices.
An older man who sexually pursues younger chickens/twinks/twunks.
Urban Dictionary has the best definition, “A bisexual person, usually though not always female, who is willing to join an existing couple, often with the presumption that this person will date and become sexually involved with both members of that couple, and not demand anything or do anything that might cause problems or inconvenience to that couple.” They're called unicorns, because bisexuals like these don't (or rarely) exist.
As part of pup play, a form of kink that is becoming more popular in the gay community. Men act as puppies and have handlers. The handler treats their puppies like they would their own dog, with love and affection. It’s a great introduction for gay men interested in kink and has a pretty relaxed power dynamic as far as kink goes.
Hunky, muscular bodybuilders who weigh 200+ pounds. These men are big, strong and have muscles you didn’t even know existed.

Gay subcultures move and morph at a rapid pace, but the ubiquitous "bear" and "twink" cultures have stuck around. The former typically refers to muscular men with body hair, while Wikipedia describes twinks as "having little or no body or facial hair, a slim to average build, or appearing to be younger than their actual age".
The communities involved are growing. But what is a bear really? And how are they different to twinks?

HuffPost SA spoke to some of the people involved in the upcoming Bearfest -- an annual event that takes place in Pretoria where the bear community gathers to do bear-related things -- in an effort to understand bear culture.
"Bearfest is basically a community-building event for the South African gay bear community that shows gay men that you can accept people for who and what they are," creator of Bearfest SA Chris Taute says.
Taute says that being a bear is difficult to explain, but at its heart the community is about being nonjudgemental. It's important, he says, because the gay community suffers from the perpetuation of body standards that many gay men find difficult to live up to.
"The bear culture generally tends to place little or no value on social stature or conforming to the latest magazine looks and styles, contrary to the main stream gay culture."
The programme for the weekend includes parties, cookouts and picnics, as well as a wrestling match that takes place in an inflatable pool filled with 80 litres of personal lubricant, water slides, and the main event on the calendar -- The Mr Bearfest SA competition.

Twenty-year old Mr Bearfest SA finalist Thatho Maseko breaks down what being a bear means to him.
"Not all bears are big or fat [chubby], there are otters that are slimmer, but just as hairy and rugged," Maseko explains.
"Then there are guys like me, whom you could call a cub, that can mostly be described as the younger and a bit smaller guy than a normal bear of the bear community," he says, laughing.

"But anyone who supports values such as having a good attitude to life, friends and helping the local community, is welcome in the bear community regardless of appearance. It is a philosophy of acceptance, respect, and a celebration of diversity. You don't have to look or be a certain way to be part of the bear community."
