I know there are some wonderful native German speakers around AW. Can I pick your brains?
My German is extremely basic conversational, and I'm having a devil of a time trying to find just the right word for this situation. What I have is a present-day, early 20s German living in London. He is a gender-normative, masculine young man who is openly and comfortably bisexual, and I need an appropriate German term of endearment that he would use affectionately to a male lover.
He wouldn't say anything that was notably colloquial to queer culture, or anything that sounded old-fashioned, so it has to be contemporary and more or less gender-interchangable. For reference, his English partner calls him "babe", and he somewhat playfully uses this term in response.
Any suggestions warmly welcomed. Danke.
