From the description i have the feeling that this is a case of Fordyce Spots.

Fordyce's spots are also called as Fordyce granules. These are small painless spots or pale colored glands that may appear on the penile shaft, labia or border of the lips. These are harmless but create lots of embarrassment because they do not give pleasant look. There is currently no standard treatment for this ailment. However, if you want to lose the spots and the lumps you can try out a few things for reduction of the prominence. One can even get rid of them if they try a few things.

But firstly you must know what causes the Fordyce spots? Many people feel that these spots are something like transmitted disease. But it is not so. It is actually a dermatologist problem. This is not associated with any particular illness. These are common and must not make you scared. No one exactly knows how and why these spots are caused. They are not even caused by some virus. It is not even contagious.

HOWEVER!!!!!:

If there is a case of severe warts, you and your boyfriend, should rush to the doctor as these are caused by Human papilloma virus-HPV), types 6 and 11. They are sexually transmitted and affect both men and women.
The incubation period (time from infection to onset of first symptoms) is the average of 3 months.
Because of its long incubation period and the fact that in some cases in women, they may develop in the internal genital organs, which are not visible to the naked eye acute warts are transmitted relatively easily through sexual contact, if not used protective equipment.
Broadly acute warts are wart-like formations. They may be small and plain, or more often irregular and small-granular surface. They are usually painless, pale pink, soft and upwards.
Warts can reach large sizes, in some cases failing good personal hygiene can make them infected in which a strong unpleasant smell is present.
