    Question

    I'm only 15, and my bf and I are pretty close. We have never done anything oral, or more than that, just hand jobs. The thing is, I think he wants to get more serious, but he says some weird things like "I hate a girl with a bush" and "I dont like a girl with a lot of lips...I dont like when it looks like a high school play curtain." When he says that it makes me really self concious because I don't wanna go farther with him if he's not going to like how I look down there. I try to shave but sometimes I accidentally cut it. I also try to keep it clean, but periods and discharge happen. Advice please?

    Answer

    Your instincts are correct and my vote is that this boy treats women as objects, and no one needs to be talked about that way. My vote is you find a boyfriend who actually loves you and sees you, your hair, and your body, as all perfect!
