Im really worried also because I dont think hes eating enough! Whenever I go to his house , theres never any food in and he just has about 2 cookies for his meals and whenever hes at my house or at the shop, he eats loads and sometimes he stuffs himself until his sick. I never see his mum , shes always out. His body is really thin, When We were making love the other night, I got turned off because his chest was bony and I could see his ribs.I really dont know what to do and he suggests theres nothing wrong?What shall i do?Shall I help him?How?

It happens often at this age that people are really thin. I know I was what is officially called underweight until I turned 18 - suddenly gained a lot of weight then. But based on what you say about his eating habits at your house, there seems to be more to it. I figure you should ask him to tell you the truth (I have no idea how close you are though) - don't immediately tell him that his thinness is a turnoff for you. It might be that he doesn't get any food at home, but there's also the possibility that due to hormonal issues he can't gain weight. A friend of mine suffered from years of depression because he can eat infinite quantities and not gain any weight; I'd personally quite like that condition. How bad are visible ribs for you?
