Therefore, the treatment for sexual addiction is a form of pseudo-redemptive window dressing in which no one, especially the addict himself, really believes. But what choices does the wife have? One potential “cure” is chemical or surgical castration—no man volunteers, not to mention the wronged wife would be deprived of sex anyway, a sort of cutting off your nose to spite your face. The second choice is to view the addiction as a time-limited condition, accept the man for who he is, and wait until his desires extinguish. Lets stop pathologizing every human behavior, like male libido.

I’ve no idea who Dr. Karasu is.  If we accept his premise, that all men are sex addicts at heart, I think there is a third option for dealing with this.

Throughout history man’s baser instincts have been controlled.  The ability to control these instincts has traditionally been developed through religion.  Religion seeks to teach the man how to control and properly express these physiological needs.  This is a benefit to society, as it promotes healthy families in which the subsequent generation is raised.

Dr. Karasu misses this–or dismisses this, perhaps.  Our options aren’t just castration or waiting it out.  A third option is simple:  confront such behavior as sin and call the sinner to repentance.

As with any other sin, sexual sins can ultimately only be healed by CHrist.  And Christ heals through our repentance.
