When a male has a sexual addiction?!
Question:
When a male has a sexual addiction?
(porn, phone sex, net etc) and they want to stop....what should their paratner do or not do to assist? Like when around someone with a drinking problem you don't offer them drinks... so if your partner admits to this addiction (although does not act out these fantasies with you)....what do you do to help with out being a co-addict?

Try this website, www.sexhelp.com and read Patrick Carnes book, "Out of the Shadows" for starters. Your best way to help is to not encourage sexual behavior by having sexy lingerie, having sex every time he wants it, and setting boundaries around your sexuality. Next is to remember that you cannot control him. You cannot make him stop. He has to do that for himself. You cannot do his recovery. Only he can.
