What is an otter? The gay tribe for lean guys with a bit of scruff

What it means to be an otter, an emerging tribe for gay men, is rather open to debate.
Our guide to twinks – the most hyper-sexualised gay tribe , and our guide to bears – the gay tribe for big, hairy, hunky men brings us to ‘otters,’ who are kind of in the middle of bears and twinks. But, of course, it’s not as simple as that with otterly different opinions to consider.
As there’s a lot of disagreement on what it actually means to be an otter, we’ve tried to clear things up…
An otter is lean and hairy. Almost never as hairy as a bear, and perhaps not as lean or boyish as a twink, but if you had a body size and hairiness scale of ‘twink to bear,’ you’d find otters comfortably taking up a good chunk of the middle ground. Hold on (you may be thinking)… isn’t that a lot of guys?
Yes, this is kind of true. It seems that a lot of guys could be seen as otters, whether they identify as one or not.
A cisgender male, with a traditionally masculine aesthetic, someone who has an ‘average’ level of body hair, a bit of scruff, fluff, fur, whatever you’d like to call it. Otters look similar to what you might call the “guy next door” type.
The ‘masculine aesthetic’ part isn’t key to otterness. Otters don’t focus on masculinity as a behaviour type or “masc for masc.” There are loads of femme otters, and some non-binary otters too.
Some have claimed that being an otter is part of a transitory phase between twink and bear.
When a lot of otters get older, they may well become bears ‘physically,’ even if they don’t prescribe to the bear community or go to bear events.
We spoke to Josh Olsen, a self-proclaimed otter who started the Otterj.com community for otters and their admirers. He says:
“Some people see it as a slimmer variation of the bear community, but in practice it seems to be as much about style and aesthetic as the body itself. An otter is like “the guy next door,” but with an edge.
“Otters are the guy next door that has grown up a bit.
“They’ve become more sexually adventurous and experienced. Furthermore, the fact that they’re no longer pruning their body hair to such an extent may imply that they’re just more comfortable in their own skin, in their own body and with their personal level of hairiness.”
But isn’t that a bear? No. Olsen says: “There certainly are similarities between an otter and bear community in that both tend towards a more natural appearance. The differences are maybe more associated with size and age.”
Celebs you didn’t know have an LGBT sibling
Gareth, a self-proclaimed Otter living in Berlin says: “I would class myself as an otter since I’m hairy in all the right places, apparently masculine and skinnier than a cub or a bear. I prefer to think of my build as slender anyways though. I’m a slender gender-bender.”
“Being an otter is, somehow, entirely a phase. Lots of men grow old and maybe get a bit broader around the waist, but where is the threshold between being an otter and a bear? Is it in the size of your waist or is it your age after all? I’ve never really understood that personally. Anyways, I’m classed as an otter and I can’t even swim properly, so that’s really funny.”
“I do personally find guys with a bit of scruff to be more attractive – it’s just personal taste. However, I’ve also had partners who would be classed as twinks as well as proper fully-fledged daddies.
“I haven’t got a massively hairy chest, but I do have a really hairy ass and a nice full beard and I like that a lot. On my body it’s all very ‘au naturel.’ I don’t spend so much time grooming and that’s absolutely perfect for me.”

Gay men often use descriptive terms to identify and label other men within the wider gay community. No doubt you’ve heard of some of these labels, like jock, otter, bear, cub, wolf, and so forth. But many gay men often wonder what these terms actually mean.
How many times have you approached your friends and asked them, “What am I? Which group do I fall into? And what the heck is a wolf?”
Maybe you’ve even sent them a bathroom mirror selfie wanting some answers.
After conducting extensive research on gay body types, collecting survey opinions from gay blogs, and plugging the data into high-grade statistical analysis software, the typologies of gay male body types can now be revealed. Much of the analysis draws upon search phrases via Google’s algorithms. Nothing was left to chance.
Please note that we have not included all of the groups here and the ones that are here may have a subgroup. It is entirely possible that your group is not listed. Finally, some may disagree with these labels as there continues to be ongoing friction regarding what they mean. This is simply an attempt to offer clarity.

In the gay world, an otter is considered a thin gay male that is hairy and may or may not use a trimmer to shorten body hair. Some otters have beards, and some do not.
Otters usually have smaller frames when compared to the heavier cub or bear and look a lot like what you would see in a picture of an otter, hairy. This might surprise some people who typically think of otters as smooth.
Athletic but not super built, a person can be an otter regardless of age, and they are considered to be part of the larger bear community. Think of otters being somewhere between cubs and bears. They’re not as massive as bears and are certainly smaller than cubs.
Semi-hairy, muscular, lean, attractive, and sexually aggressive, wolves are sometimes considered as part of the larger bear community or on the bear spectrum. They can be any age and normally have facial hair.
Some might also describe wolves as slimmer bears, but there is a lot of disagreement on this. Subgroups of wolves can be found in aging wolves, which are gay men with wolf-like features that are starting to turn a bit gray.
And then there are full-on silver or gray wolves, terms that describe an older wolf with gray or white facial and body hair.
Characteristically, a bear is a large, possibly heavy gay man that could also be muscular. A fairly large protruding belly is a defining characteristic of a bear.
Masculinity is also a key feature of bears, and some bears are so caught up in projecting a masculine image that they shun other would-be bears who appear to be too effeminate. That said, many bears consider themselves to be harmless and even playful.
There are several subtypes of bear, which include: Muscle Bears: Bears whose size comes from muscle and not from fat. Polar Bears: Older bears with gray or white facial and body hair. Sugar Bears: Effeminate bears that are shunned by more masculine bears
For gay men, the term cub is used to describe a younger (or younger-looking) male that is usually husky or heavier in body type and is almost always hairy. While many cubs have a beard, it is not a requirement to fit this category since body hair and huskiness are the dominant features for this gay descriptor.
Cubs are sometimes partnered with bears in passive relationships or with other cubs, and they can sometimes be considered an apprentice to a bear.
Here are a few subtypes of cubs: Muscle Cubs: Body size is attributable to muscular composition as opposed to body fat. Sugar Cubs: Effeminate cubs
In the gay world, chubs are a distinct subgroup within the gay male population and are often confused with bears. Many bears reject extremely large or obese chubs and do not consider them as part of their subgroup. Chubs even have their own events, such as Mr. Chub International. According to my research, an extremely large chub is referred to as a superchub.
Along with chubs, I should note a group of people called chasers. These individuals are attracted romantically and physically to chubs and are typically much smaller than chubs.
A pup is a gay male who is fairly young—we’re talking late teens to early 20s more or less. Pups are known for their lack of experience in the gay world, as well as
