  Where does the OTHER line get drawn

  "Where does the line get drawn

  Apparently to be considered openminded on this forum, you have to be okay with threesomes. How about foursomes? Or fivesomes. Or thirtysomes. According to some of these posts, if my girlfriend tells me she had sex with 80 men at once, I should give her a high five and say "You go girl. Way to explore your sexuality". If I don't fully support that decision, or get over it immediately because it was in the past, then I'm controlling, insecure, misogynistic, and probably homophobic to boot.

  Whatever. Obviously the guy is over-reacting, but still, whats up with everyone falling over themselves to sound so "sexually liberated"."

  Hey, two can play the hyperbolic rhetoric game:

  Apparently to be considered reasonably minded on this forum, you have to not be okay with threesomes. How about twosomes? Or onesomes? According to some of these posts, if my girlfriend tells me she ever kissed another guy, I should slap her and say "You slut. Way to explore your sexuality". And if I don't fully reject that decision, or get over it after many months or years, then I'm just a wimp and poser who is pretending to be "sexually liberated", and probably gay to boot.

  Ok, hyperbolic rhetoric aside:

  The line is drawn wherever you want it to be drawn. Just don't go around attacking others as "sluts" or what-have-you if their line is different than yours.
