Best book (by far) I ever read on this topic, even though the therapy he suggests is somewhat "antique" by modern standards.
I had to get off all mind-altering chemicals first, then dig into my sex addiction as a result of both 1) the tortured emotions from relentless child abuse looking for "Dissociation", and 2) being the child of a pair of highly impulsive, possibly sex-addicted, probably at least somewhat bipolar parents... who did not, btw, raise me. (My adoptive parents were the child abusers.)
In the end, this particular form of exposure therapy proved to be the "magic bullet," but I had to do a lot of psychodynamic (as per Carnes) and cognitive therapy to prepare me for it.
Path 1: Drop this loser. You don't deserve this shit.
Path 2: Understand it is a PSYCHOTIC pull from his addicted brain. It has taken me 4 years to get to 10 f*cking days. It's worse than heroine. Please understand that, and help him to heal. The longer he goes without his sexual objectification hyperstimulation, the more he will fill up his heart and his appreciation of the deeper, true you.
And I love Women's perspectives. Thank you for sharing.
Oh, and get this awesome book: http://www.amazon.com/Dont-Call-It-Love-Addiction/dp/0553351389/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1380920789&sr=8-1&keywords=sexual+addiction+recovery
