Monogamy
This is the basic one-to one set up where no sex is allowed outside the relationship. You are completely faithful to each other. There are rules and boundaries agreed with both guys being totally committed to each other.
Condoms still need to be considered and discussed. What would happen if one of you had sex with someone else outside of the relationship - a “drunken mistake” for example? How easy would it be for him to come back to the other partner and discuss it? How might this be dealt with between the two of you to avoid risks around sexually transmitted infections and HIV?
