There's a distinction between compulsive behavior and addiction, and enlightened members of the medical/psy community have acknowledged the reality of both in sex AND the Internet. Combine the two, and in the words of Patrick Carnes, the authority on Web/sexual treatment, you have the "crack cocaine" of sexual addiction.
I sugggest you take a look at Carnes' books on the topic. There's a link from this (excellent) site to Amazon, where all Carnes' major books are listed. (Sorry Dr. Bob, I still haven't figured out the details!)
Medication-wise, if your p-doc recommends SSRIs, you might want to start with Paxil. It nixed my libido, and by extension my browsing of naughty Web sites, within about four days.
Good luck! -- John from California
