I can't stop sleeping around. I have a roving eye and insatiable sexual appetite. A woman only has to show half an interest in me and I feel compelled to flirt and sweet talk her into bed.

Since the age of 16 I’ve been intimate with scores of females. From older neighbours and friends of my parents, to colleagues and strangers in nightclubs, I’ve played the field more times than a rutting ram.

Mates have branded me a right Ethan Hunt because there are no lengths I won’t go to in my pursuit of danger and excitement.

That would all be okay if I were a single man but I’m not. I’m very much married and my wife has no idea what I get up to.

She’s a highflier who puts in 12-hour days and travels the world for work. She pays all the bills and bankrolls my life.

Now I fear I’m about to be socially castrated because she’s announced she’s giving up her career because she fancies staying at home to breed dogs. Dogs!

She says she’s burnt out and it’s my turn to earn the big bucks.

This idea does not sit well with me. I don’t much like working and I’m currently juggling three women. I’m flattered and enjoy their adoration and their company in bed. I met them, separately, through my ex-boss at his annual party.

The fact is that I can’t blame the booze for the way I behave because I don’t even have to get drunk to try my luck.

Suddenly my future looks bleak. How do I convince my wife to carry on working?

JANE SAYS: I don’t detect any desire in you to change.

Your letter starts with a confession. You claim that you can’t stop sleeping around – the suggestion
being that you want help and advice on stopping. But then you almost begin bragging about your attractiveness and stunning success rate.

What you seem to want to know is how you can carry on behaving like an alley cat without your wife finding out.

I just don’t think you’re mature enough for marriage.

You admit every time your wife’s back is turned you cheat. But you’re not being fair on her or true to yourself.

Do her a favour and set her free so she knows exactly where she stands and has her life back. As for you, you need to have a serious think about who you are and where your life is going.

Could it be that you’re a sex addict and need to speak to a health professional (via your GP)?

I worry that if you keep on living your life like some kind of old ram that you’ll end up washed up, lonely and more than a little sad.

You can’t keep sleeping around and leading people on because that’s simply not dignified. Get the help you might need or make the necessary adjustments.
