Elaine,
I agree with Poet. The behavior you describe is not ethical for a therapist, and it sounds predatory.Please consider checking his with his professional board to see if he has any complaints or sanctions. If he does and they are similar in nature to what's going on with you, I think that gives further weight to getting away from him NOW.
Even if there are no complaints or past sanctions, I strongly encourage you to consult another therapist about this. You do not need to tell him. You do not need to feel guilty. HE is supposed to be in charge of his feelings and behavior. HE is supposed to be in charge of maintaining professional standards. From what you describe, he is not.
