Question: 

My husband has had 3 sexual encounters with 3 different women in our 47 years together. He claims the women gave him loads of compliments and were sexually aggressive, like the seducer in the article: “Why Did They Choose the Affair Partner?”. We have had frequent sex during our 47 years together and on days we did not have sex, he would masturbate. Also, he had a 5 year porn addiction. Psychologically, he has suffered from childhood trauma, depression, and anxiety. Could he be a sex addict?
