The Chicken Thread

[Brad Zarse]

Just cos I'm curous about what Claire has to say about chickens.....     

[nickliv]

Chicken can be used, usually by gay men referring to other gay men, to mean a young gay man or young appearing gay man. Stereotypically describing a gay man barely out of adolescence who does not show much of any body hair or well-defined muscle-development. Most would consider a young man of barely-legal age or appearing to be very young and having an innocent nature.[1]

Author Bruce Rodgers defines the term as "1. any boy under the age of consent, heterosexual, fair of face, and unfamiliar with homosexuality ("So many chickens were flapping around that I thought we were touring Colonel Sanders' plantation”) 2. juvenile, youthful, young-looking.[2] Others have defined it as a young man who engages in sex for money or favors.[3]

Recently, some conservative Americans began defining the term itself as gay pedophile related.[4] In the subculture of the gay community which uses handkerchiefs or bandannas as a code, people who identify as "Chicken" wear a Kewpie doll in their left back pocket. Those who are interested in young men - referred to as chickenhawks - are denoted in the hanky code as wearing one on the right.[5]

The term has existed in the gay vernacular for many decades, and is still used today. David Henry Sterry, a former prostitute turned actor and director, titled his 2005 memoir, Chicken: Self-Portrait of a Young Man for Rent.[6] Author Philip Herbst traces its origin to the 19th century, where it was used to describe the youngest sailors on a ship, who were often used for sexual purposes.

Not that I'll bet.

I bet it's the first thought in Rex's filthy head though.

Agee with Neil here Nick, keep it up. Puts the rest of us to shame.

Blimey guys, I stoled that orf of wikipedia.

I must confess, I only became aware of the term in my (Younger) youth, I was rather relentlessly pursued by a gentleman of the botting persuasion.

Green as I was, being unfamiliar with the term at the time, I did have a decent idea of what he wanted to do with / to me, and as such his pursuits were always fruitless. Thankfully.

Nick,
Having read through your obviously well researched or known details of the Botter or Bottee I find it somewhat disturbing that you mention me as a foot note.
Keeping poultry and having an interest in amateur pyrotechnics does not put me into the category of rampant active shirt lifter!
What ferry are you on next year sweet cheeks?

So a free range chicken is a bit of a slapper then?

Anyone seen my hat?

Tut Tut Rex. I thought you ran a perversion parllour, and as such assumed you to hold at least a theoretical grasp of the term
