if he was molested, (and he was) a trip to The Meadows in wickenburg arizona. special hospital for sex addiction.

the wounded, molested child has to be treated and this CANNOT be done by amateurs or by self help groups alone. the treatment includes something called survivors week, where they go back and age regress this person back to when it happened and resolve it.

the special hospital treats this condition and gets down to causes and conditions.

read anything by patrick carnes. sex addicts anonymous for ongoing support.

Isn't age regression a kind of controversial practice?

Some people are more successful at overcoming addictions than others. Take smokers for instance -- and I'm using this as an example because smoking is a more visible addiction, whereas pornographic and sexual addictions tend to be hidden and kept secret by such addicts. As such, you seldom know who they are.

There are some smokers who just decide, "I'm done with this" drop smoking and seem to never look back. These are the RARE EXCEPTION, NOT THE MAJORITY OF ADDICTS. I've only ever met perhaps one or two smokers in my entire life that didn't WANT to quit. Many of them want to quit very, very badly. But they can't seem to quit. Why do you think that is? Is it because they just secretly don't want to quit? Nonsense! They want to quit alright, but can't manage summon the will-power to make it happen. Most have tried and failed so many times that they become increasingly discouraged. Failed attempts to quit smoking pile up and they become more and more discouraged until most of them just give up and stop trying.

Sexual addictions of all types aren't so very different. Unlike smoking, they strike at one of the basic needs that is pre-programmed into the human psyche: Reproduction. Multiplying and replenishing the earth, etc. Considering that, why think of pornography or any other sexual addiction any differently. There is a biochemical component to these addictions just like there is with smoking, alchoholism or any drug addiction.

Can you imagine telling alchoholic, "Well if you wanted to quit, you'd quit. Suck it up and just do it! Don't be such a baby! If you can't just quite outright, you obviously don't really want to quit." There's truth to what you say -- ultimately the individual must make the choice to leave the object of their addiction behind them -- but they must spend the rest of their life strictly guarding themselves against relapsing. There is an addicted part of their mind that always wants return to the addiction, and it may never go away in this lifetime. Once and addict, always an addict, or so the saying goes. It works the same way for the individual addicted to pornography.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that it's not nearly so easy as you make it sound.
