His poor hygiene could even cause you to contract the Human Papalova virus that leads to cervical cancer, not to mention just the bacterial vaginal infections you could get from his dirty ecoli infested underwear....Gross.
He needs help, this fetish is affecting his normal life and whenever that happens it is a problem, nuff said.

I guess you just have to live with stinky if you don't want to split up. You can't make him do anything he doesn't want to do. End of story.

Scare him out of it. Expalin to him how unhygienic (sp) it is and maybe make up a story. Say you found a story on the internet or in the newspaper about a similar guy and he got a horrible infection...or ask a doctor if there really is a chance of anything happening to him. You could also try gving him an ultimatum. It is up to you to decide what that is. You could threaten to break up with him or sacrafice something he loves to try and get him to stop. Is there anything you do or anything you can do that he hates? Maybe you could keep doing that until he gives in and compromises.
At the end of the day, do you want to be with a guy who doesn't wash his undies? Do you want a boyfriend who has poor hygiene? How many women want that? Not many I'm sure. In my opinion a boyfriend who refuses to wash his undies, and smells as a result is a valid reason for dumping him. In MY opinion. I know you don't want to but...do you want to be with a guy who doesn't wash his undies?
Is he willing to sacrafice his love of dirty underwear for you? Would he easily choose it over you? Would he come to his senses if you threatened to leave him? Would you follow through with the threat? Who's more likely to compromise here? You or him? It's getting serious now. You need to make a choice. Think how much happier you'll be.
