My boyfriend is obsessed with popping my pimples. He can't focus on anything else until he pops them. No matter where they are...my back, face, chest. He gets them all. Is this normal?

    My ex did this. All. the. time. But multiple times, when the pimples were on my nose, he would have the audacity to get out a sterilized needle and pop them WHILE I SLEPT.

      That's interesting you say that, because on another story on IIN I read that a person likes popping other people's pimples. And he/she said I popped a few pimples on my friend when they were sleeping. (Something along those lines)

    Popping them makes them more likely to scar! I know from experience, STOP POPPING THEM!!!

      You know I've heard that so much but I've never gotten a scar from popping one. Maybe I'm just a good healer. O.o

    it is preening behavior - that being said - just tell him to lay off

    Hehe I'd say it's pretty normal, my ex used to hate me for picking at his. X3 The first time he came up to me actually asking me to get one because it hurt, I did a little victory dance inside.

    It's usually girls who do that to guys but I think it's relatively normal. Kinda like apes grooming each other and picking off parasites. But that's just my opinion. But if it bothers you a lot and you want him to stop and he can't then yeah it's OCD.

    Sounds like OCD.
