David Duchovny: Sex Was Escapism
Posted under Sex Addiction in the News on Tuesday, January 5th, 2010
David Duchovny, who was treated for sex addiction last year, claims he had his first erotic experience when he was just 6 years old. The "X Files" actor admits he had such a huge crush on his first grade teacher, and used to make up excuses so she could touch him.
"I always ran around extra wildly, so that she had to catch and grab me,” he told German TV channel Tele 5.
Duchovny believes his sexual appetite grew to such extreme levels because sex is a form of escapism for him.
"Sex, to me, means I can forget myself. It’s just the moment. I heard that skiing is even better than sex. It could be possible—but I’m not a skier."
However, the 49-year-old star is fully aware that his addiction to sex almost destroyed his marriage to wife Tea Leoni, the mother of his children Madelaine, 10, and Kyd, 7.
"My family and I have had a very hard year. Today I’m as happy as ever. I’m ultimately grateful for all the difficulties. My wife and I have gone through that together and now we are even stronger,” he said.
