Goodness... I've been a DD fan for years, ever since Mulder. He's apparently been a sex addict for years. So if I had been one of those crazed stalker fans, tracked him down and offered him sex he might have actually accepted??? I'm not trying to make light of his situation/addiction, but that's interesting food for thought. Me and my college roommates were really upset when he married Tea Leoni- we all thought that David wasn't meant for just one woman. I guess we weren't that far off...

according to http://www.sexaa.org/addict.htm
here is the defintion of a sex addict:
Sex Addiction can involve a wide variety of practices. Sometimes an addict has trouble with just one unwanted behavior, sometimes with many. A large number of sex addicts say their unhealthy use of sex has been a progressive process. It may have started with an addiction to masturbation, pornography (either printed or electronic), or a relationship, but over the years progressed to increasingly dangerous behaviors.
The essence of all addiction is the addicts' experience of powerlessness over a compulsive behavior, resulting in their lives becoming unmanageable. The addict is out of control and experiences tremendous shame, pain and self-loathing. The addict may wish to stop --- yet repeatedly fails to do so. The unmanageability of addicts' lives can be seen in the consequences they suffer: losing relationships, difficulties with work, arrests, financial troubles, a loss of interest in things not sexual, low self-esteem and despair.
Sexual preoccupation takes up tremendous amounts of energy. As this increases for the sex addict, a pattern of behavior (or rituals) follows, which usually leads to acting out (for some it is flirting, searching the net for pornography, or driving to the park.) When the acting out happens, there is a denial of feelings usually followed by despair and shame or a feeling of hopelessness and confusion.

Yikes. I think I knew someone like that, when I was much younger and dating.:laugh:

I heard on the radio that Tea's known about this? I don't know tho, they didn't cite sources of that.

I think she has known about this from the beginning. Even I knew about it and I don't even know him.

i remember he was in the "red shoe diaries," which was basically soft core porn. quite unfortunate for his family -- and humiliating. i wonder if other celebs will come out with their addiction so rehab will become fashionable like with drugs and alcohol.

Do you know if this is the movie with Sophia Shinas in it, the chick who played Shelly from The Crow?

This is so sad for his family!

I had to look up the Vancouver rain thing and it seems like people made a mountain out of a molehill. I complain about the rain in my city throughout the entire summer. Isn't that what we do as humans... talk about the weather?!? It's not like he complained about the people of Vancouver. Geez.
