my boyfriend has this habit of scratching
his anus at every opportunity - watching
tv., in bed...! There is no obvious sign
of worms or infection, he merely claims he
finds it relaxing and enjoyable. I find
it vile and disgusting - not to mention
the biggest turn off ever, his hands are
more often than not accompanied by the
"aroma" of faeces I have tried to
make him aware of the hygiene
implications, but it almost appears to be
an obsessive tendency and he seems to
think it's perfectly ok. What can I do
about his? How can I get him to
understand that having traces of faeces on
his fingers is potentially dangerous -
simply telling him this has made no
difference in the past and his anal
itching has continued throughout the last
6 years of our relationship.
