There are many words I could use but they probably wouldn't be allowed :(
I'm shocked and sickened, and I know I don't have the context but he reminds me of a rather over-sexed male friend of mine from university who would say whatever came to mine, regardless of how daring/open it was. I liked that about him in the context of a friendship (I was never involved with him or had any romantic feelings toward him and that's probably why it was ok for him to be like that with me). He wasn't afraid to share/suggest anything.
BUT if he were a therapist... hmmm... how can being so open in such a way provide a safe place for a client to explore things such as erotic transference, drug dependency, addictions (and all manner of things) - I wouldn't be able to feel safe at all. I'd certain end up tip-toeing around all his statements so as not to disagree with him. I would feel obliged to bring up certain topics because of his views, and leave out others that go against his beliefs because I'd be afraid he would not be neutral and accepting of me. I can't really see how therapy can be conducted under those circumstances.
I'm really sorry you had the misfortune of ending up under the care of such a person.
