Help! My boyfriend smells like poop

My boyfriend and I have been dating for three months. I have noticed that he does not use a washcloth when he showers. When he stays the night and takes a shower in the morning, I give him a washcloth, but after he’s dressed I notice he has not used the washcloth. As a result, I think he does not wash his backside very well and I smell him. When he sits on the couch an odor is left behind, and as he stands I catch a strong whiff. How do I tell a grown man to wash his backside?

Something new up the sleeve: repository for sneezes

Washing hands and shielding coughs are elementary hygiene routines, something that used to be emphasized from the first grade --- and now pushed to all ages by the federal government as it sees H1N1 (swine) flu sweeping over the nation, observes Grumpy Editor.

This is getting the play it should have been getting for years. Dental hygiene is so valuable and so neglected by the very people who need it most. Thank you, Colorado

Could you tell someone you know that they had bad breath? (Poll)

That's a really tricky question, for obvious reasons. The short answer for me is, NO, I couldn't really tell them face to face that their breath smelled. I think my courage wouldn't stretch that far!
