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.

    What, exactly, is so immoral about a threesome, lobdillj?

    The writer is so blase about her menage a trois. She gives no indication that she wouldn't do something similar in the future. It sounds like she has no superego on sexual matters at all, and she says her boyfriend should get therapy and get over it.

    What, i'm wondering, is so inherently immoral about a threesome? You don't know whether she has a superego on sexual matters. It's very possible that she used protection during her threesome, and with other sexual encounters.

    Her boyfriend sounds like someone who had some moral upbringing (apparently an increasingly rare situation).

    What really is bizarre to me (a 69 year old male) is the number of responders who agree with the writer.

    And, conversely, what is so MORAL about what the boyfriend is doing, becoming a vindictive, critical, manipulative asshole who's trying to bring his girlfriend down and make her feel bad? What is so moral about that?

    Eagerly awaiting your response.
