OK. Laugh all you want. Laugh it up. Yes, yes... you know about my lust for the Duchovny... which is why when Miss Jen and Melissa clued me in about this breaking story... I had to rise from my slumber to blog it out. Ladies and gentlemen... Without further ado... David Duchovny is a sex addict.
David Duchovny has entered a rehabilitation center for sex addiction, his lawyer, Stanton "Larry" Stein, tells PEOPLE exclusively. "I have voluntarily entered a facility for the treatment of sex addiction," the actor says in an exclusive statement. "I ask for respect and privacy for my wife and children as we deal with this situation as a family." [people]
Now, just exactly what IS a sex addict? What is the criteria for being labeled a sex addict? Well, here goes:
I dunno, seems like an awful lotta work to me. Just rent some porn and have at it. Sheesh. And yes, Miss Jen... you cannot write this shit.
...there are ten specific criteria of addiction:
- Recurrent failure (pattern) to resist impulses to engage in extreme acts of lewd sex.
- Frequent engaging in those behaviors to a greater extent or over a longer period of time than intended.
- Persistent desire or unsuccessful efforts to stop, reduce, or control those behaviors.
- Inordinate amount of time spent in obtaining sex, being sexual, or recovering from sexual experience.
- Preoccupation with the behavior or preparatory activities.
- Frequent engaging in violent sexual behavior when expected to fulfill occupational, academic, domestic, or social obligations.
- Continuation of the behavior despite knowledge of having a persistent or recurrent social, financial, psychological, or physical problem that is caused or exacerbated by the behavior.
- Need to increase the intensity, frequency, number, or risk of behaviors to achieve the desired effect, or diminished effect with continued behaviors at the same level of intensity, frequency, number, or risk.
- Giving up or limiting social, occupational, or recreational activities because of the behavior.
- Distress, anxiety, restlessness, or violence if unable to engage in the behavior. [wiki]

NOOOOOO! I am so disappointed in him! This is worse than when he and his kids went out in public wearing ripped pants. And you know what else? I'm gonna have to strike him from my list. I just don't have the energy for that shit.
Dammit.
it's like the tantric thing with sting. suckah please, i do not have the time, interest, or energy to be f**king for 8 hours straight.
um, as of right now... he's still on the list.
i'll take tantric and kinky.
as long as i don't have to get whipped, scarred, burned, or any other form of gross behavior.
we NEED to know exactly what floats his boat here... if it's an addiction to porn. whatevs.
if it's sticking strange shit up his ass... well, that's his problem...
but WE NEEEEEEDDDDDD TOOOOO KNOOOOOWWWWW
I find this whole thing preposterous. Not too long ago I met DD and he was nothing less than a gentleman. We were both sharing a peep show booth and I was out of quarters. So I turned to this guy dressed in latex and nipple clamps and said, "Excuse me. Do you have change for a 10 and would you please stop humping my leg?"
Turns out it's DD, great guy, gives me the quarters and then invites me back to his place to have sex with his wife, TV's Tea Leoni. Now are those the actions of a chocaholic? Oh wait, sexaholic? My bad. Carry on.
Gold star to "the Mineola Kid"!!! LOL.

BTW, heard this morning that his deal is too much online porn. And I thought: That's IT?!? THAT'S worth going into rehab for and embarrassing your family?!? 'Cause if that's the case, then there are thousands of folks in the world -- male and female -- who better reserve a space in rehab right next to him, 'cause they're addicted too. Sucka please!!

I was actually not surprised when I heard. The news said he was going into rehab for something, and I guessed "sex" - not that I'm so smart, but I guess due to his being on a show called "Californication", and after years of associating DD with his character Fox Mulder (autoerotic asphixiation? etc.), the sex addiction thing didn't seem so much of a surprise.
Ah, well. I am glad he at least got help and didn't physically cheat on his wife (sounds like everything but, though :/), but still, I'm sorry to hear about it.
