Boyfriend thinks eating me out is gross

Yep. He said that. When he *does* go down there it’s only for about 2 seconds, and when I asked him why he said it’s because he thinks it’s a little gross. I’m really insecure about that kinda stuff and I accidentally started to cry when he told me (cuz I mean cmon, it sucks when the person you love says that ANYTHING about you is gross) and he started apologizing and promising me that he’ll work on a compromise (say, just doing it on special occasions or something). I appreciate the effort (especially since I told him he didn’t have to do it anymore but he still wants to try) but now even if he does go down there, all I’ll be able to think about is that he’s grossed out and doesn’t wanna be there. Even when he doesn’t go down there I still get plagued by the thought that my boyfriend thinks something about me is gross, and it makes me feel terrible. I don’t really know how to work past this, or how to proceed from here. Need some guidance ASAP lol

*side note: I asked and he already told me it’s nothing about my hygiene or my vagina in particular. “I’d be grossed out by everyone else too I think” is something like what he said. So it’s “not me, it’s him”
