    Difficulty.

    My boyfriend and I have been together for a while now and everytime we have sex he doesnt take his shirt off because he thinks he has bad image problems. I've tried to tell him i don't care about that.

    How can I convince him that i care about HIM and not his body weight?

    And also I wanna try having sex with him up against the wall or in the shower, but i have no idea what to do. how do I stay up so he doesnt drop me? because i'm short and hes like 2 feet taller than me. :/

    I assume you're in your teens - it's normal for your boyfriend to feel uncomfortable about his body. With time and reassurance, he should be able to learn to trust you and your opinion of his body. Just keep trying

    There's nothing YOU can really do to stay up or not be dropped in a wall/shower sex situation. It's up to his arm strength. Wall texture can help or hurt, though ... a slippery wall will make you easier to drop.

      He will have to become more comfortable about his body. quiet encouragement over time should help him come out of his shell.

      If you are going to have both legs up it will take arm strength like Little said. If you are going to have one leg down, you will need to have a solid step that will bridge the difference in height between your pelvis and his.
