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.

    It is true that men and women both have influence over each other but men only

    have influence over individual women to whom they have demonstrated their appeal and with whom they have established some sort of relationship whereas women can enforce right speech and behavior (at least regarding open discussion) over men collectively (at least face to face and among men who are identifiable) by issuing general threats of sexual banishment for incorrect behavior/attitudes, and it works. I've never said anything about my personal situation.
