Here Come The Twinks

Wikipedia says that a "Twink is a gay slang term describing a young or young-looking gay man (18–23 age category) with a slender, ectomorph build, little or no body hair, and no facial hair. In some societies, the term chick or chicken is preferred. The related term twinkle-toes, which implies that a man is effeminate, tends to be used in a derogatory manner. The terms can be complimentary or pejorative…a twink is ‘memorable for his outer packaging‘, not his ‘inner depth’.”

I’ve mentioned before that one of the things I like about gay people is the fact that they have types. I think it makes life so much easier when you can say “This is the only thing I am into and all I shall pursue.” I could totally be a twink if it wasn’t for this body fat and stupid facial hair. Oh and the whole not being into dudes thing. That gets in the way as well. I usually see twinks here in West Hollywood during the spring and summer. They come out of nowhere and travel in packs cruising for some action. Here’s how I see twinks. Picture the most annoying gay kid you knew in school. Okay. Got it? Now picture him being around 19 years old and still acting the same. Loud, obnoxious, and thinking they are all that. Maybe I’m wrong. I doubt it but maybe I am.

Cruising Together...

In my very first blog for this new site I want to introduce people to the world of cruisers. Most people know cruisers as people who drive or an actual vehicle. I’ve spoken of the many magical ones in my area and below I have even added a photo as an example.

Urbandictionary.com lists a cruiser as “… a person who may take pride in going around public areas in search for having sexual intercourse with the same gender.” Oh, this barely touches the tip of the iceberg of the world of cruisers. I have been living in West Hollywood for about 14 years now (Jesus, that is sad…) and have watched some of these guys actually grow up from 18 year old fresh faced fellas to 30 year old battered and meth out freaks.

Some cruisers, usually the new ones, wander a bit too much. I spotted a new one just yesterday who was walking around the parking lot in front of the cars and grabbing his dick. A common rookie mistake. The vets know the score. Pick a spot and stand there with the merchandise on display ala Captain Cucumber (I will write about him sooner or later).

The worst kind of cruiser is the ones that travel in groups. Nothing is worse than a group of bored cruisers on a slow ass selling day. Expect lots of skateboarding, Frisbee, and much to my enjoyment, being run over while sitting on the curb! Yes, that happened and yes I have photos.

I have had the chance to look through a cruisers backpack while working at the porn shop. He left it overnight and we had to see if there was any identification. Yeah, that’s why. It had toothpaste, condoms (surprisingly), mouthwash, gum, small packets of lube, and socks. I was shocked at the lack of body spray or wet wipes.
