    No. You are not being selfish. Unless requested otherwise, it is general courtesy to cleanup for you romantic interests.

    You don't seem to be too attracted to him anymore, perhaps, it is better to say things are not working out.

    Also: have you asked him to do all these things?

    You're simply gonna have to have a chat with him and ask him in a gentle way that you would like some changes. That is what being partners is all about. Asking for what you want.

    Time for the talk, and if he doesn't wanna deal, then time for the walk.

    Isn't brushing your teeth immediately before sex that involves your mouth a bad idea? Thought I read that somewhere. But no, I don't think you're being selfish. He's just not used to having his hygiene affect another person so directly. Whitener may be pushing it but he should be a little more attentive if he expects to be intimate.

    You might want to try to "make it a game" as is suggested with kids, playing in the shower can be fun.

    You're not being selfish, and, he's not for you. It would be great if you could stay friends, but keep your eyes open for a new boyfriend more similar to yourself.

    HAHAH I totally agree with you on this one. This is a discussion you should be having with him, not posting on the internet. Anyone who may know you or your BF from this website is now apart of your relationship. ROFL! I say talk to him if it doesn't pick up, then find another bf,

    I, personally, don't think you are being selfish with the teeth, cleanliness down low, and facial hair.

    However, even though you hate body hair, he may find it tedious and difficult to keep it shaven on a regular basis. With that being said, if body hair bothers him as well, then he should not be complaining. Like almost everyone is saying, I suggest you talk with him about all of this.

    Your dislike of his body hair is not a hygiene issue. His mouth and ass, yes.

    He actually sounds like a breath of fresh air (no pun intended). Some gay guys are just too "made up" and spend too much time beautifying themselves. Good hygiene is cool, but too much can be cloying.

    I'm sure you are making the guy sound dirtier than he seems. If it's really bothering you then you should talk to him, we don't know him and we cant talk to him for you. It's good that you found out he's Oscar the Grouch now than several months later so you can just ditch him if need be. Just hose him down if it's really bothering you.

    I'm suprised your sticking around and its only been 2 months. I would have broken up with him a long time ago. Its pretty clear he does not care about him self, brushing your teeth and showering should be priorty!!!!! If I were you I'll cut it short.......

    This. Hygiene is healthiness through cleanliness, not how much time you waste shaving.

    Tell him, as politely as possible, to wipe his teeth and brush his ass. Or is it the other way around?

    Anyway, if he won't change for you then go from there whether or not to stay with him. Your boyfriend. Your choice.

    It works, or it doesn't. If you like him you like him. Tell him if he wants anal to clean up and if he doesn't it is out of the question.

    He has nice, straight teeth, but they're all discolored and stained.

    He likes anal, but he's always self conscious that he's dirty. Yet he never cleans up down their before we hang out.

    He just needs Gay 101. Take him into the shower before sex and scrub him down, play with his butt, clean it up, take the brush and tell how you like him to brush like you do and do it together. THEN if he does not see the point of all this, and how much you appreciate it , you move on.
