My boyfriend freaked out because I had a threesome

It happened before we were together, but he can't handle it and he's being a real jerk.

    I really don't understand you, anon.

    the point is that women can sleep with as many people for whatever reason

    as they want to and men cannot and that this fact has effects on both and on their relations with each other.

    -- anon

    First of all, if you are not a hideously repulsive troll and don't live in the middle of nowhere, with some effort, you too can rack up your number as high up as you see fit.

    Secondly, this is starting to sound like angels on the head of a pin. In theory, women can sleep with as many men as they want to, but on average they sleep with fewer men that women. What is the point of sleeping with as many people as you possibly can (just like contemplating the angels on the pin)? What is the point of obsessing over this theoretical ability? I don't know, but if it is your goal in life to sleep with as many people as possible, see the first paragraph.

    Lastly, I don't know about you, but i don't know any one, male or female, who is upset that their number isn't high enough. If people want to get laid, they go out and get laid, but not to raise their number. Even if they do it to raise their number, somehow people find a way to do it.

    Why are you so obsessed with the theoretical number of people women can potentially have sex with? What does that have to do with anything?!
