You absolutely can bond two males. It is a myth that two males will always fight. Please read the link below on how to properly introduce two guinea pigs.
I had two males, one was six and the other was two. They got along GREAT!
You must make sure that your cage is big enough and that you have multiple food dishes/water bottles/hiding spaces. If your cage is too small, guinea pigs (regardless of sex) will fight.

Only if they have been together since at least one was born. You can leave two male littermates together, or add a just weaned male with an adult. Never try to make two adult males live together- guineas are very territorial and they'll fight.
You could put them in seperate cages that are flush against each other - then they can visit but have their own homes.
And did you know, guineas can be spayed/neutered just like cats and dogs? The trick is finding a vet that can do it, but it is possible.

I have 2 brothers in a cage together and haven't had any problems with fighting or aggression. It's a 3 story cage, I don't know if the extra room has to do with it or not. Keep an extra cage in the garage or storage just in case something does happen and they have to be separated. Otherwise they should be fine.

i have a neighbor who has two male guinea pigs in the same cage and they're doing fine. also at school this one teacher had these three guinea pigs in the same cage and they're fine too.
try it for like 1 hour and if they attack eachother, then it's a bad idea.

NO, mature g.p. males will fight violently. They need to be in separate cages.
