Bad situation with a friend, good situation with mom

I resolved most of my issues with my mom when she came to visit for my graduation. I'm now closer to her than ever. But I find myself at odds with my friend. I've known him for years and when he went to Spain, I kept in touch, it all went smoothly until his girlfriend broke up with him. He nearly comitted suicide and was sent home, I tried to help but he needed to work it out himself and it seems like he did. He got a new girlfriend recently and it's a lot more sexual than his last relationship. He still misses his ex a lot because he felt more of a connection but now he seems to think there's a connection between the new girl. He feels he has to tell me about the sex and nothing else. He belittles my difficulties and ignores the fact that I'm not in a relationship. I said he has a shallow relationship if all he thinks about is the sex. He went ballistic and said I had no right to say that. He then said that the sex is only one part and that they share other moments that are more private, but sex I guess is not very private to him. He told me that male friends talk about sex all the time and that I shouldn't feel insecure about it. I'n not insecure, its just that he's pissing me off with this, it feels like he thinks he's always right and I'm always wrong.
