I also hope you are able to let your boyfriend know that his comments make you feel sad, and you are now uncomfortable taking your bra off when you are intimate. I hope this was not his intention, and I believe he owes you an apology...I am sure his physical appearance is not perfect, either, and I do not understand why women allow their male partners to "get away" with making negative comments about their bodies?! It is YOUR body, not his, and I hope he feels fortunate that you are sharing it with him in intimate ways, and because you are, does not give him permission to demean, degrade or belittle any part of it. Every person---male and female---has a few parts of their body that they dislike, or are even embarrassed by (unfortunately), and another person making comments about it are unwelcome and unnecessary.
I hope his thoughtless comments do not change how you feel about yourself, emotionally or physically. If they do, please talk with him about keeping these hurtful comments to himself, as this has no place in a healthy and happy relationship (I assume you keep your negative comments about particular parts of his body to yourself, correct?!). He must know that as we get older, we all have parts that begin to sag...and I hope he also realizes this happens to men's scrotum, and I do not see him on this site asking for ways to help "firm up" this area on his body.
