M/M or m/m refers to a male/male pairing. This can go by different terms and have different styles depending on the fandom or the user's preference.
- Slash - used in Western media fandoms; sometimes qualified as dudeslash, boysex, boyslash or guyslash by analogy with femslash for f/f
- Yaoi, Boys' Love or "BL", and Shounen ai - used in anime and manga fandoms.
For male/male in which one or both boys are under the age of consent, see:
- Shota or "shotacon" - used in anime and manga fandoms.
- Underage and chan - used in Western media fandoms (although these terms are not exclusive to male/male).
