Gay guys: How do you address your boyfriend?

I was actually joking, thinking about an old song "fly to high"
If I treat you like a number
It’s because I can’t remember your name
So have another cigarette
And help me to forget what I came

I am a gay guy and I actually hated when partners call me honey or babe (shudder) but I generally just accept it because I understand what they are trying to express. Even so I probably object these days but I haven't had a boyfriend in a while.
