My question is how do you determine if someone is a sex addict? My husband had 3 affairs over a 22 year periods. The first 2 where only about sex according to him and each lasted about a month and he was the one the ended the relationships as soon as the women involved started taking about the relationship becoming more. The last one was about 7 months and was emotional first and then physical. In the past he has viewed pornography and occasionally gone to strip clubs. But neither of those things where on a habitual level. He says that sex is a way that he relieves stress. One of the most shocking parts for me and an area I am still working on is the fact that he could just use a woman in that way. He has taken some on line quizzes and get mixed results as to if he might be a sex addict. Thank you for any assistance.
