My best friend wants to stop having sex with a whole bunch of people. She really wants me to help her what should I do?

You cannot stop someone from having sex with a lot of people, she has to want to and perhaps get some professional help.

What is it she thinks you can do?

If your best friend wants your help, then direct her to a health/human services professional who deals in sexual issues. That might be the best help possible.

Don't get so involved in this that you start to own her problems.

You need to educate her about having sex with too many people can and will give her some swell infections, STD, as well as the real possibility of contracting AIDS. She does need some professional help as this is not normal behavior.

Addiction specialists deal with this matter A lot more than people think. I knew someone with a sex addiction and a doctor helped her 100%. I don't know much of the details but I do know they did a lot of " shock " therapy. Exposing her over and over to disturbing images of infected body parts due to sexually transmitted diseases, and many things about the effects of having tons of casual sex that one wouldn't think of. ( just my strange brain thinking since I don't understand sex addiction: more masturbation would be my doctor prescription, lol in all seriousness I don't the harm I see that it could possibly cause sexual desire to decrease.

She needs professional help. Check out this link:Sex Addicts Anonymous — Home

No matter what you think or feel, she needs the support of someone who she can trust right now. You're a good friend.

Admitting that there is a problem is the first step. It's good that she is ready to get the help she needs.

STDs are dangerous, but not as dangerous as going home with ANY and EVERY person she meets. She could just disappear one of these times.

There is free, anonymous, help available to her.

God bless you both.

Does she drink a lot or do a lot of drugs? If so, she may need to address that as well.

It is nice of you to help, but it's important that you help without feeling like you are becoming responsible for her success or failure. Set boundaries for yourself, things you will and will not do and don't feel guilty when it's time to say no.
