The bear community
is a masculinist subculture in the gay community. Bears are usually mature gay
or bisexual men with hairy bodies and facial hair; some are heavy-set, but that
is not a requirement. Bears often exhibit an outwardly masculine appearance.
Some bears place great importance on presenting a hyper-masculine image and
shun interaction with men who display effeminate style and mannerisms. Other
bears do not. There is much debate
in the gay community as to the definition of a bear: some say anyone who
identifies himself as a bear is one, while others argue that bears must have
certain physical characteristics--such as a hairy chest and face--and a certain
mode of dress and behavior.
Some terminology relating to the bear community includes:
chaser - a
term that refers to someone who is not a bear, cub, or otter, but is sexually
or romantically attracted to them (this term is often used in various
communities to describe an outsider who has sexual attraction to people within
that community) Also often referred to as a chaser.
bear - a man with a beard or goatee,
typically with a hairy chest and body and a stocky or heavyset build; often
older (or older looking) and displaying a masculine appearance.
bear run - a gathering or circuit party for
bear and cub types.
behr - Guys with moustaches but no
beard.
cub - a younger (or younger looking)
version of a bear, typically but not always with a smaller frame. The term is
sometimes used to imply the passive partner in a relationship. May also refer to
recently out homosexual men who may fit into the characteristics of a bear. May
not be as hairy but generally has facial hair.
daddybear - is an older more husky guy
sometimes looking for a daddy/son relationship or a Bearcub.
grizzly bear - an older bear,
often with a large, wilder beard - think Grizzly Adams.
otter - a man who is hairy, but is not
large or stocky - typically thinner, or with lean muscle. Also typically
identified by an energetically playful and flirtatious manner.
panda chub - A bear of east Asian descent.
polar bear - is an older bear with white or
grey body hair and beard.
pocket bear - shorter bear.
sugar bear - a "sugar daddy" bear;
a bear who wants the company of a younger or more traditionally attractive male
or "chaser" in exchange for favors/gifts
wolf - similar to an otter, but with a
more aggressive attitude OR an older otter, with grey hair.
woof! - A greeting sometimes used when a bear spots another
bear in public and wants to express physical attraction. He will make a
growling noise ("Grrrr!") or say "Woof!"
