No, that’s a completely reasonable request. Is he aware that the dirtier he is on the outside, the more disgusting he leaves your insides? It affects the smell, taste, and could cause discomfort, itchiness, gross discharge, and infections. I’m not going to suffer because someone is too lazy to spend 10 minutes washing themselves.
I make my partner shower beforehand. It’s non-negotiable. My partner has never complained about it. When we first started dating, it did trigger episodes of self-consciousness, because even outside of the bedroom, I was never happy with his hygiene. I’ve assured him that it’s a rule I’ve established as a lesson I learned from my past. We’ve been together 10 years now and his hygiene has greatly improved.
