He also seems to have compulsive behavior in other areas of his life, like lack of control in financial issues as well as being overweight. That tells me that it might not be so much a "sexual addiction" alone as an isolated behavior, but one of compulsive behavior, period. In either instance, there are ways for them to help themselves (and their loves ones can assist). But it takes a commitment to just "suffer" while the compulsive behavior is remedied. For some reason, we as Christians have come to believe that we should not have to suffer (deny ourselves). There are resources online that inform several people when porn sites are visited. There are even "locks" so to speak that can be put on PCs to keep those PCs from accessing such sites. I have another friend who put one on his PC and told his wife to put in the password and not tell him what the password was. There is deliverance for anyone who wants it. They just have to want it bad enough. This is a very sensitive subject, and I know a brother who seems to have an addiction to porn online.
