Bear

A bear in gay culture is usually a bigger, hairy guy, often with a beard. Some bears are fat, some muscular. The term also describes a community and an attraction to these men.

Sex

A bear can be a top, bottom or Vers. Big and hairy does not automatically mean dominant or into BDSM. Ask what he likes.

Escort Advertising

In male escort ads, bear describes the guy's look or identity, not his sexual role or services. Most bear culture has nothing to do with prostitution.
