I find it funny because the response is usually within seconds of posting and it's all girls. I call it his fan club but my bf doesn't like when I say that and thinks I'm being jealous. What is the FB etiquette on those things? I don't think he'd be thrilled if i posted a picture of me in a bikini and 10 of my guy friends liked and said that i'm hot. But nor do i think my friends would do that because they know my bf is on fb too.

There is no etiquette really, he's just doing it for the ego boost and that can be for whatever reason really.
I'm ripped as hell and did post some before and afters from the time I was fat and got quite a few likes. That was a couple of years ago though and only once but it did feel great and I do like to show off my body and the reactions I get although I usually leave that to nights out etc.
Your boyfriend is just full of himself really, as long as you trust him then I'd let him off and just laugh, because it is quite hilarious and besides if it makes him feel good then what's the harm?
I mean you dress to impress when heading on a night out with your girlfriends don't you? What's the difference? You display yourself then and he just does it on Facebook, he's a Facebook attention whore and the laughing stock for quite a few people hehe, plus female friends telling you, you're hot is never something you can trust, girls tell their friends they're gorgeous and hot all the time, even when their friends are dog ugly.

This isn’t really a question about Facebook etiquette. As it happens, the general advice about Facebook etiquette is not to publish every detail of your relationship for the world to see: sexy pictures, for example, really should be private and accessible only to the couple concerned. The situation you describe, however, centres on your boyfriend’s rather childish craving of female attention. And let’s face it, if these pictures really show off his body, why else would he be posting them? The more “jealous” you seem to him, the more he’ll do this. How should you deal with this? Maybe tell him how childish this is, then just ignore it. He’ll soon get bored of it.
I wish you all the very best.

 Wait, you're in the 30-35 y.o category, how old is he? I thought this kinda stuff was for 14 year old boys.
If you don't like it then flat out tell him, he shouldn't be posting ANYTHING that makes his girlfriend uncomfortable, especially things that are provoking female response.
