I think you need to step back and reevaluate this friendship.
Basically, by asking you to participate in this activity he wasn't BEING your friend. He was fullfilling his fantasies and using you selfishly. Friends aren't supposed to do that.
I'm not saying you should ditch him completely but you need to look at this objectively. Imagine if you had a little sister that had this sort of problem and she came to you, what would you say?
Don't be scared of distancing yourself from him because he's you last remaining best friend. That just means you need to get out more and find alot more new people that are willing to respect you and act like true friends to you.
Also, you need to realize that you aren't a counselor for him, you can't fix him. Only he can want to seek help for himself.
Slowly start keeping him at a distance. I say this because he's already shown you how he values you. He knows full well (even knows enough of the subject to use the psychological term) that his tendencies are disordered, and he sought to involve you in them.
Personally, if this had happened to me I would feel disrespected and degraded.
I'm not saying this to make you feel bad, but to show you that friends shouldn't do things like that to each other.
Find more friends!
Pray for this guy and let him know where you stand.
