Twink Pride Flag

In the gay community, a twink is a young adult male who is (generally) skinny, youthful looking, good-looking, boyish, and has very little body hair.  Twinks are usually described as being in their late teens or early 20's.

According to the LGBT Wiki:

The namesake of twinks is the "golden-colored phallic-shaped snack cake" Hostess Twinkie, commonly regarded as the quintessential junk food: "little nutritional value, sweet to the taste and creme-filled."  The Twinkie was invented in 1930 and originally contained a banana cream filling, but this was replaced with a vanilla cream filling during a banana shortage, caused by World War II.  By the 1950s "Twinkies had become a school lunchbox staple".  The original flavor was re-introduced as an alternative flavor in 2007.  A twink is "memorable for his outer packaging," not his "inner depth." The golden-color also referred to those who are tanned from too much time in the sun.  The junk food reference has a number of connotations including a perceived lack of intelligence and being ideal only for a short-term but not having lasting qualities or being very healthy. Most of these concerns no longer apply as the definition of twink has broadened and qualifiers, such as muscle or femme narrow the meaning to a more specific type of twink.  Although the term originated from the American snack food, both the cake and twink have found international use with Hostess selling "more than half a billion Twinkies" yearly.
