And nothing he can say to you is going to make you feel secure about his friends or comforted about his personal morality when it comes to physical intimacy, because that sense of security is something you need to work out in your own head. So, look: no amount of fighting about it going to change what he’s done with other people and it’s not going to change about how he feels about sex and the consistency of its relationship to emotional intimacy. If you were writing me about your boyfriend not trusting you because of your sexual history and attempting to isolate you from close friends to make him feel more secure about your relationship, there wouldn’t be much of a question about what you should do. But the fact of the matter is that you don’t respect what he’s done, you don’t accept his point of view about what sex and intimacy mean to him in various circumstances and you don’t trust either him nor his friends-who-he-used-to-bone.
And in some relationships, that’s fine as long as the two of you have trust in one another and respect for one another’s different points of view. But let’s break down the real problem: you two have very different conceptions of what sex means to each of you. So you need to deal (or not, as you decide). Well, let me start by saying to anyone, including your boyfriend, that when your partner is even a little insecure about you being friends with people with whom you used to bump uglies, the appropriate thing to do even when specifically asked whether you would ever trip the light fantastic with them again if not in a relationship is to say, “No.” It’s never going to help, it’s always going to cause problems and whose genitals with which you might or might not engage at some hypothetical later point were your current relationship to be over will be, at that point, none of your hypothetical-ex’s business (unless it’s a family member or maybe a good friend of their’s) so it’s sort of not their business now. My boyfriend and I have worn this argument to the bare bones, but we still don’t seem to understand each other. So what is the difference between a relationship with a friend and your relationship with a boyfriend/girlfriend (aside from sex) that lets a boyfriend/girlfriend know that they have nothing to worry about? How do you explain it to them or make sure they feel secure? I feel like as long as he remains friends with these women, he’ll never be truly committed to me. He says that it shouldn’t bother me because he’s not doing anything with them, that I should just trust him. I feel like as long as he remains friends with these women, he’ll never be truly committed to me. I feel like a joke to these girls because I want to think our relationship is special when they’ve had him this way for years. And just because he isn’t actually having sex with them currently, I still feel like they might as well be because the intention/desire is still there, like they’re just taking a break for a while and I’m part of the intermission. He leans on them emotionally and (when he’s single) physically… It sounds just like a relationship to me. All things he did with them, and yet somehow he says it’s not the same to him and I don’t understand. We go to the movies, go to dinner, come home, have sex, hold each other and talk, etc. The fact that he’s done all the things with these fuck buddies that he does with me makes me feel cheated in a way. But the fact that they remain so close makes me feel threatened. He doesn’t really say anything inappropriate to them, and I don’t think he’d cheat on me physically. He has told me that he would probably start having sex with them again if we don’t work out. My boyfriend, however, has been with tons of women, and a couple of them were and are his best friends. It’s something I only share with the person I’m with, and it distinguishes the difference between friendship and love for me.
I feel that sex is only valuable to me when I’m sharing it with someone I love and trust completely and I can’t enjoy it when I don’t feel that my heart is safe.

Opinionated, in which readers have questions about the pesky day-to-day choices we all face, and I give advice about how to make ones that (hopefully) best reflect our shared commitment to feminist values-as well as advice on what to do when they don’t.
