Twink is meant to be an adult body type though. It shouldn’t be used to describe kids.

i know the usage has changed the meaning over time, but it originally implied the man is on the receiving end during intercourse. the association is still there, even if people don’t use it that way. i get where you’re coming from though. it’s just a big no for me because of that
