what makes you think this? is there actually a way to classify someone as a sex addict? if so, what are the classifications? and does he fit it? communication is always the best policy, I think. even though it might be totally uncomfortable.........and feelings could be hurt. just stay strong and stick with your instincts. you can do it!

why do you say he is a sex addict? does he want to do it many times a day? define 'many times'.

Thanks to all for responding.

He thinks and talks about it all the time. He has an extremely high sex drive.
I don't know if it makes him an addict, but all topics seem to lead to sex.
