OT: David Duchovny goes to rehab...for sex addiction??

I guess a guy who 1) played a porn-collecting FBI agent 2) hosted "The Red Shoe Diaries" and 3) stars on a show called "Californication" miiiight have some issues:

No, sex addiction is serious, I get that; all addictions are serious. The combination of having the addiction with the different roles he's played (as lp laid out for us) just makes me giggle a little bit.

I'm glad he's getting help and it totally sucks for his family.

No, I know. I wasn't responding to you so much as to the general view of sex addiction -- i.e., the "joke" that goes, "First, I want to know what a sex addict is, and second, I want to know how to become one."

In terms of Mr. Duchovny's roles, I think only the "Californication" one really qualifies as art imitating life. From what I understand, his "Red Shoe Diaries" character had exactly two sexual relationships during the series' run, and on "X-Files," Mulder may have liked porn, but that seemed to make up for a rather anemic sex life -- he was celibate except for a couple of one-night stands.
