captcrisis: "As I explained in my original letter, I think it has to do with intense jealousy. An average guy would think of it as his fantasy -- and he wasn't there. This is not something to ignore or be condescending or critical about. It is a natural feeling, and feelings often are not logical."
You know, a natural feeling can also be selfish, disrespectful and just plain stupid. Just because you feel this intense jealousy doesn't mean you therefore should be proud of it. Because no matter how common you think it is, it's really childish, and you don't get a pass just by saying there's a "special place a MFF threesome holds in the male fantasy world."
If this isn't a double standard, then all the guys taking the BF's side would have to concede that if you'd had a threesome (which is supposedly your ultimate fantasy), then your girlfriend would be fully justified in saying that you're unworthy of her, and you'd have to agree. Let's just say that seems a bit unlikely, and in any case it would still be small-minded.
