Some terms are slightly misused with over popularity, such is the case with Global Twinks, although I appreciate and understand the concept. Twink in my mind derives from the acronym, Teenage White Into No Kink, so it generally wouldn't apply to many different ethnic groups. At the same time, young, hairless, slim or slightly athletic, obviously can describe attractive members of any race.

I was looking forward to a real worldwide satisfying selection of sweet smooth and sexy dudes, but was disappointed by the meager portion of boy meat served up in the main content, which has had no updates in ages. The quality wasn't impressive either. Even after more than eight months, nothing has improved on GlobalTwinks.

In total, there are only 34 regular-res galleries. I've seen more twinks during my last visit to Starbucks on my coffee break. Nevertheless, there are six sets of Arab/Middle Eastern dudes, 13 Black/Jungle stud sets, one gallery of an Asian boy and 14 sets of Latino/Blatino pictures. The quality and resolution of these images is average at best unfortunately.

If I wasn't impressed by the photos, I was even less so by the 18 playback-challenged downloadable clips in mediocre-quality Windows Media format or supposedly good MPEGs. Either format looked blurry or snowy. Some clips were standalone, but many were less than 20 seconds long and combined to make a complete, albeit short scene. Realistically, there are about seven videos all told, when you add the clips together. On the main homepage, there's a link to a single average-quality full-length flick with an additional QuickTime option.
