section: Usage notes">edit</a>]</div> <ul><li>In contrast to its female equivalent, <a href="/wiki/girlfriend" title="girlfriend">girlfriend</a>, which is often used to describe a woman's close female friend, the term is not used in reference to non-romantic relationships involving males. Separating the word into its two components <a href="/wiki/boy_friend#English" title="boy friend">boy friend</a> avoids the romantic implication nowadays, although boy friend used to mean the same as boyfriend does now. However, British and Australian men usually refer to a male friend as a <a href="/wiki/mate#English" title="mate">mate</a>. Similarly, Americans and Canadians use the term <a href="/wiki/buddy#English" title="buddy">buddy</a>. It is also common for American and Canadian women to differentiate non-romantic male friends from romantic ones by referring to them as being their <a href="/wiki/guy_friend#English" title="guy friend">guy friend</a>.</li></ul> Boyfriend is a relatively modern term, and often has implications of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/fornication" class="extiw" title="w:fornication">a sexual relationship outside of marriage</a>. In the past, such relationships were actually illegal, and were often considered immoral. With the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/sexual_revolution" class="extiw" title="w:sexual revolution">sexual revolution</a>, however, such relationships became normal in Western countries. As a result, the term is often used today without negative implications. An adult man in a non-marital romantic relationship is sometimes referred to instead as a <a href="/wiki/significant_other#English" title="significant other">significant other</a> or <a href="/wiki/partner#English" title="partner">partner</a>, especially if the two partners are living together. Because boyfriend and partner mean different things to different people, the distinctions between the terms are subjective, and which term is used in a relationship will ultimately be determined by personal preference. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Derived_terms">Derived terms</h4>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=boyfriend&action=edit&section=7" title="Edit section: Derived
