Actor David Duchovny is surrounded by fans in July during the opening of The X Files: I Want To Believe in London, but we've learned recently, there's a downside to all that adulation.

After hearing that actor David Duchovny has entered rehab for sex addiction, the rest of us men should take comfort in the realization that we're not rich, handsome actors.

Sex addition is apparently an affliction that affects only wealthy, good-looking celebrities like Charlie Sheen, Michael Douglas and Duchovny.

"You have no idea how good it feels to be so popular," the star of The X-Files once told an interviewer.

Duchovny now plays a sex addicted writer in the television show Californication. (That's another problem unique to these actors. Some of them are just so dedicated to their work that they take it home and maybe even out on the town with them.)

Most guys between the ages of 15 and the funeral home might live under the misguided notion that we'd like to be sex addicts, but whether we like it or not, we don't get exposed to the scourge because our thin bank accounts, thinning hair or bulging waistlines serve as perfect antibodies.

Thank goodness. Otherwise, we might have to take a few weeks off for treatment in Malibu with other sex addicts while our publicists issue statements asking the press to respect our privacy at such a difficult time.
