Today, I finally reached the point where it became necessary to give my boyfriend an ultimatum: either clip your toenails, or we aren't having sex. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I was about to have sex with my boyfriend when he reminded me that I needed to cut my toe nails. FML
Today, I had to finally give my boyfriend an ultimatum. Either he at least trims his giant mass of unruly pubes or no more sex. I feel I have no choice since his huge bush has left friction burns on my face and down below. He doesn’t see the problem. FML
Today, I walked into my bedroom to find my boyfriend clipping his toe nails into my pillow case. FML
Today, my boyfriend and I decided it was finally time for both of us to have sex with each other. He kept his shoes on the whole time because he thought he had smelly feet. FML
Today, I was about to go and take a shower when I saw a pair of scissors taped to the door at eye level with a note from my boyfriend saying "Time to trim that hairy thang down under." FML
Today, my husband and I got into a fight because I refused to let him use my fingernail to clean the plaque off his teeth. FML
Today, I had to beg and argue with my boyfriend to get him to take a shower and brush his teeth. This has become a recurring argument now we're confined together. FML
Today, I had to tell my 30 year-old boyfriend to take a shower, or else he won't for a week. FML
Today, my boyfriend stopped in the middle of sex to tell me he couldn't take it anymore because my legs were too hairy. I shaved yesterday. FML

I'm extremely curious about what his choice was

He was really toeing the line, eh? Glad you finally put your foot down

I too have this problem with my boyfriend...

Using sex as a tool to get what you want is very abusive.

It's not abusive if the toenails bother her during sex. She refuses to have sex with him because she is grossed out by his toenails and she wouldn't enjoy the sex. If she refused to have sex with him until he bought her a car or something like that, now that would be abusive (and borderline prostitution). But in this case, she's not trading sex for personal gain, she's just withholding sex because she doesn't like having sex with him until he cuts those toenails.

Toenails smh

If he doesn't cut his toenails I think there's a high chance of him skipping out on other hygiene issues, too. Make the most of it, add a couple things to this ultimatum if necessary. Daily showers, teeth brushing, shaving, deodorant.

Besides the fact that I think an ultimatum for anything is just wrong as there should be other ways to adress a problem in a relationship, shaving and daily showers are definitely not basic hygiene. Showering daily is bad for your skin and hair, every second day is definitely enough, and there's nothing unhygienic about body hair either.

Oh, don't get me wrong. My display picture is a bit older, but right now I'm rocking a beard. I'm well aware that facial hair is not unhygienic. My comment was mainly in jest. I shower every other day, but wash my hair once every four days or so. Natural oils in your hair are good for you. Teeth brushing is 'basic hygiene', and so is deodorant - not that anti-perspirant crap that clogs your pores, but a natural deodorant. People also naturally have less body odour if they eat right. I've let my toenails get pretty gross in the past, and my wife has said similar things as OP as a joke, because I kept cutting her while doing the deed. Considering this is a FML, I'm guessing something similar happened with OP - either she got cut by his, as my wife calls them, "raptor claws", or they are ridiculously long. I'll concede that ultimatums are a bad idea, though.

Take him and get pedicures together. If he likes them no ultimatum needed.

Pedicures FTW! Take your guy. He won't go on his own, and might not ever admit he likes it. But I agree. It ruins the mood. Big time. Nice gentle caressing and kissing and then Scrapetty Scrape Scrape *shivers*

That's freaking gross.

Maybe he needed them to climb trees and ward off prey.

I'm struggling to understand the people who themselves seem to struggle to understand the idea of basic hygiene being a prerequisite for sexual activity. And I mean long term hygiene, I'm not saying occasional 'you smell like you need a shower but I'm too horny to wait' is bad.

Unfortunately, not all of us can use sex as an ultimatum. Sometimes it has to be, "I won't force you to have sex with me tonight if you ....!"
