For the sake of conversation, I have in mind these three types of guys:
1. Guys who are into having sex with guys, but who are not interested in having a broader, wider, rounder kind of relationship with the guys they're having sex with. They may have little interest or ability when it comes to making what we could call "heart connections".
2. Guys who are into the broader, wider rounder type of relationship which is both sexual and friendship -- and romantic, etc., but who are only able and willing to do so with one person (one partner).
3. Guys who don't fit either of the above two items. These type-three guys may be polyamorous, and interested in multiple committed loverly relationships. Or they may have one primary partner whom they give their heart (so to speak), while being open to having recreational sex outside this primary relationship.
Type-3 guys fall into many other sub-types--which we could discuss here.
I'm personally especailly interested in discussion about (and with) type-3 guys, which appear to be in the minority these days. Especially the sub-type who is open to making real connections even when he has established connections already. It seems to me there are many possible ways of relating in this type-3 space, but that we tend not to be very imaginative about it.
