Is it normal to do a guys makeup and nails if i have a boyfriend?

So I have a friend who's a guy and he has a fetish for people doing his makeup and nails. He loves getting his nails painted and his makeup done(eye shadow, mascara, eyeliner) but he says that he isn't gay, so whatever. I was going to do his makeup for him, which I have done in the past, and he loves it! But my boyfriend got really angry and says it would be wrong if I did a guys makeup and nails(that it's too intimate and close to get to with another guy). What do you think? Is my boyfriend right?

    Your boyfriend is overly jealous. I dyed and straightened a guy's hair, and my boyfriend was even there, watching me. Strangely enough, the guy was my ex-boyfriend, but my current boyfriend had no problem with it.

    And what would your boyfriend do if you ended up being a cosmetologist, and you were working that close with men and women all day?

      you have a good point. he is going to become a doctor, which means he will be even more close and touchy feely with men and WOMEN! and i of course do not care, because it is a profession, but yeah i wonder what would happen if i were to become a cosmetologist lol.....

    You're boyfriends right. Had this been a gay guy with no sexual attachment to it, it would be fine. But some guy getting off on his girlfriend is not okay lol I'd be upset to

    It would be fine if it wasn't a fetish. But I'd say that satisfying a guy's sexual needs in anyway is unfaithful to your boyfriend.

    This behavior is satisfying for the guy who likes having makeup and nails done as much as you enjoy doing that. Lots of guys enjoy that if they cross dress. If your boyfriend wants to cross dress with him, why not offer him the same treatment. It can't hurt.

    I'm not as sure as everyone else seems to be. If this guy has a fetish for having make up put on him, i.e. derives sexual pleasure from having make up put on him, then I don't think a girl in a relationship should be putting his make up on.

    If he really does have a fetish for it, you're giving him sexual pleasure when you do it and I can see why your boyfriend wouldn't like you doing that. It doesn't make him controlling or over-protective.

    The issue he has is not that you are putting make up on another guy, but that the guy you are putting it on enjoys it so much when you do.

    If it was just a thing that happened it would be different, but if he has a fetish for it then it's logical to presume that he has sexual thoughts about you when you do it. Obviously your boyfriend, quite rightly, doesn't like other guys having those sort of thoughts about you, and doesn't like you - albeit possibly unwittingly - indulging those thoughts this guy has.

    This is all from a guy's perspective, so hopefully that explained why your boyfriend has such a problem with you doing something that from your perspective is so harmless.

    TL;DR It might not be that your bf dislikes you doing that with another guy, but that the other guy gets sexual pleasure from you. The reason he gives you might not always be the actual one; guys aren't as straight-forward and direct at explaining their problems as girls seem to think we are.

    Alternatively, it could be that he doesn't like you doing something with another guy that he can't be a part of. Maybe he's jealous that you are doing something with a guy that isn't him as part of a two-way thing. THIS reason would suggest that he is a little over-protective of you and possibly a bit insecure.

    If the guy was not straight, this wouldn't be an issue. Maybe your boyfriend is suspicious and thinks that this guy only lets girls put his make up on because he's creepy and likes to lure girls close to him.

    TL;DR There's a lot of different reasons he could have; don't take the one he says at face value just because he's a guy; guys say things about their thoughts that aren't the exact truth too, just like girls do.

    Unless you yourself are getting sexual pleasure from it, I'd say he is much ado about nothing and probably more jealous of the time and closeness you two have together. I feel that this is a sign of insecurity.
