writes: My boyfriend has this habit of fondling his penis all the time. Even in non-sexual situations like when he's reading a book or just having a drink, he has his hand on his penis, fondling it or playing with it. It embarrasses me since he does it almost all the time and we've fought over this issue. Is this normal or not? What could be a possible solution? Reply to this Question Share |

Thanks for all your help!

I cant talk to my dad about it, but I told my daughter about her boyfriend. She said she knows and that she told Many times . He started to control it, but he still does sometimes especially when he has few drinks.
Its just one of those habits like you crack your fingers, or curl your hair on a fi ger, or use a certain word all the time. Just a habit, but this one is really annoying.

It's one of hose habits that some boys develop when they are young and some... never stop.
Is he even aware of doing it most of the time?

It is a habit, non sexual. my ex used to do it and was very open about it, after we got to know each other. He would do it if we were just hanging out at home, not in public though, lol. If it really bothers you, try telling him. If he can't/won't stop. All you can do is accept it or move on if you can't live with it.

This obviously needs addressing because it sounds like he’s doing this all the time even when it’s inappropriate. Most people can control themselves enough to know that there’s a time and a place. When you confront him, what does he say? The first thought that springs to mind is that he may need some sex addiction counselling if he really can’t stop. If he can but won’t, you should continue to voice your displeasure and tell him how embarrassing this is for you. Tell him that you’re not prepared to tolerate this in inappropriate situations. If there’s any chance he’ll listen to you, he needs to know how much of a problem this is for you.
I wish you all the very best.
