Duchony's Sex Addiction

Is it just me or when you read "sex addiction" do you immediately think "coke head?"

David Duchovny, who plays a sex-obsessed character on Showtime's "Californication," has entered a rehabilitation facility for sex addiction.

The 48-year-old actor said he did so voluntarily, in a statement released Thursday by his lawyer, Stanton Stein. He added: "I ask for respect and privacy for my wife and children as we deal with this situation as a family."

Duchovny's publicist, Flo Grace, confirmed the report, which first appeared on the Web site People.com. She and Stein both declined further comment.

"All of us at Showtime wish David and his family the best during this very private time," the network said in a statement.

The second season of "Californication" begins Sept. 28.

Duchovny starred as the conspiracy-minded Fox Mulder on "The X-Files" TV series and in two films. "The X-Files: I Want to Believe" opened in theaters earlier this summer.

He and his wife, actress Tea Leoni, have two children. The couple married in 1997.

This is kind of strange. I've never known anyone with a sex addiction, although I know it exists. I wonder if it is something else? Maybe he got caught cheating and he's doing it to appease his wife?? Maybe he can't stay off the internet porn? loL I have no idea.

Wow, I assume it means he's cheated on his wife. Makes you wonder if you'd stick by your man if he kept cheating on you and called it a "disease".
