Today I was going through TV news on Buddy TV and found a headline that ‘Californication’ star David Duchovny (Hank Moody) has entered a rehabilitation facility for sex addiction. After reading this, the first thought that hit my mind was, it would have been easy for the actor to play the similar character on the series. In Californication’s season one, he was shown having one night stand with Karen’s Fiancé’s daughter Mia, and several other women. His character is like he never leaves a girl who passes by him.

I wondered when I read this news, that he is an addict in real life as well. But I must appreciate his humble and courageous verdict about it. He conveyed this to reporters through his lawyer Stanton Stein, “I ask for respect and privacy for my wife and children as we deal with this situation as a family.”

He says that fantasies about other women around you are comfortable until these don’t force you to take the further step. Now this is understood that he is a loyal husband and doesn’t want to be a shame for his family.

I also went through the readers’ comments about news. I am glad that most of his fans have sympathy for him. Somebody has written that this addiction is a normal addiction like food and water and is a necessity as well, but in varying degree among different people. Moreover it’s America man! Not the third world.

I must say that this is a maiden step by a celebrity to make us realize that now the time has arrived that such problems should be debated unhesitatingly, instead of leaving hidden spark for a huge fire in future.

It implies that he has a genuine fan following and his fans will support him in his every good and bad times. One fan has even given some references and I think I must share it with you guys. Her name is Vanessa; she gives an example of a writer Harvard Grad, who has written about a couple who bought a strip club to spice up and retain sex addiction within spouses. The title is Carribbean Dreams: True Story of an Ivy Couple.

Anyways, now I can understand Duchovny’s problem very well especially after watching ‘Californification’. Poor Hank faced a separation from his girl friend Karen due to this addiction and she got engaged with somebody else. I’ll suggest you guys that don’t follow up above suggestions and instead of being bold in public avoid catching this bug. Remember precaution is always better than cure.
