Hi fellow webmasters :-)
I’d like to know what the generally accepted definition of these marketing terms are:“hunk”, “stud”, and “fratboy”. Are the terms basically interchangeable or are there differences?
Also, is “frat” or “fratboy” a term that will mostly only have meaning to North American surfers?
To me...
Hunk is about the BODY - He is a HUNK
Stud is about the BODY And the DICK - Like a STUD Horse - You keep the stronger animals for breeding -
And the whole Frat boy thing - I would think anyone within the age range of 19 to 24 and has a slight prep look to them
I may be ALL Wrong as for proper use but these are the images I picture when I hear these words.
a hunk is on the muscular side, not skinny, not average. also in good shape and a hottie.
stud i've seen used as either a hunk with sexual prowess or just a guy with plenty of fucking prowess.
a fratboy is generally 18 to 23, athletic with a little muscle on him but not too much, and usually fairly clean cut. or else a guy who actually is in a fraternity.
To add to hunk, back in the day, I would have called someone like Tom Selleck a hunk even though he didn't have an overly muscular body.
But that was what a Hunk was in the day ;)Quote:

thanks for this thread, I'm just getting to grips with all these gay terms.. The one that confuses me most is twink.. I thought it was a skinny teen lad, but some places i see muscley toned guys in their late 20s labelled as twinks, and fat guys... if anyone could clear the twink term up for me that'd be wicked :D
"hunk" and "stud" are generally interchangeable, but "fratboy" has very little to do with those terms. "hunk" and "stud" can mean anyone, not just some in college. :)
People call Johnny Knoxville a "hunk" too, and he's not a big muscle boy. :)Quote:

To me, both "hunk" and "stud" can be used when you are just talking about a hot guy.
"Hunky" does seem to be used more when talking about guys with muscles.
"Stud," however, can be used to talk about anyone who you think is sexy.
"Twink" is traditionally meant to refer to a young, kind of feminine acting boy with "twinkle"-esque features.
thanks! :)
Matt's a fellow WWE fan, I see. Hunks, and Studs are a different definition in my book than most other guys. ;)
All depends on your niche really.
I think were mixing up gay adult terms with regular terms.
Like 'Hunk' in the gay porn world is a muscular guy.
Where as 'Hunk' in the rest of the world can be any attractive fit guy.
No?
Thanks to everyone for the clarifications, I now have a better understanding of when to apply each of those terms.
BINGO!!! Good use of visuals for those who are verbally challenged ;-)Quote:

we dont shoot twinks, we shoot young men who are athletic and muscular.
We've got members from all over the world, so I'm going to say that the word "frat" is understood by people all over.
While those guys could be a Frat-type, they look more like teens to me than young adults. More highschool look.Quote:

I think that's more something that we want to posit on them b/cuz of our own sexual fantasies regarding college boys, but in actuality, frat boys come in all shapes and sizes.
I think that's very important to note.
Well of course you would have to admit “real” life and porn do not have much in common :) I would say guys 20-26 that do not have at least a sight build to them are Twinks not Frat Boys. If you use the word “Frat” your viewers are going to expect guys with at least a bit of muscle. If you use Twinks they are going to expect thin guys with a bit of a “Club Kid” look. And if you use Teen Boys they will expect guys that are 18-22 that have a bit of a innocent or sweet look to them. Now of course again their can be some cross over, but in generally to me that’s about how it breaks down.Quote:
