	Every boylover uses this term differently. Some reserve the term for the boys they have close, ongoing friendship with, and others use it more liberally to describe any boy they have contact with. To avoid this ambiguity the variant '''special young friend''' is sometimes used to refer to a close friend. Neither term carries any sexual connotation.		Every boylover uses this term differently.

In a relationship between a [[boy]] and a [[boylover]], the boy is called a '''young friend'''.

Every boylover uses this term differently. Some reserve the term for the boys they have close, ongoing friendship with, and others use it more liberally to describe any boy they have contact with. To avoid this ambiguity the variant '''special young friend''' is sometimes used to refer to a close friend. Neither term carries any sexual connotation.

Many boylovers continue to consider a person his young friend long after the boy has grown into a man.

The term "young friend" evolved as a play on the terms ''boyfriend'' and ''girlfriend'' and is usually abbreviated as ''yf'' (or ''syf'' for "special young friend") in writing. Online, it has mostly replaced the older term [[boy (relationship)|boy]] because many felt the phrase "my boy" sounded more possessive than "my young friend."
