Longing for too much sex? Rehab is the answer.

“X-Files” star David Duchovny has entered a rehabilitation facility for sex addiction, his publicist has confirmed.

“I have voluntarily entered a facility for the treatment of sex addiction,” the actor said in a statement released on Thursday by his attorney, Stanton “Larry” Stein. “I ask for respect and privacy for my wife and children as we deal with this situation as a family.”

Coincidence or not, the 48-year-old actor won a Golden Globe Award last year for impersonating Hank Moody, a womanizing, sex-obsessed writer on Showtime’s “Californication.”

David Duchovny’s publicist, Flo Grace, confirmed the report, but refused to give further information upon the matter.

The actor, known best for playing FBI Special Agent Fox Mulder on “The X-Files,” has been married to actress Téa Leoni for more than 11 years. The couple has two children together, a 9-year-old daughter Madelaine West and a 6-year-old son, Kyd Miller.

“All of us at Showtime wish David and his family the best during this very private time,” Richard Licata, the network’s executive vice president of Corporate Communications said in a statement, according to E! Online.

The second season of “Californication” is due to premiere on September 28.

Nevertheless, this is not the first time David Duchovny’s sex issues have been made public. In 1997, he said in an interview with Playgirl that he was not a sex addict. “I have never been to those meetings. It’s hurtful to my family and if I was involved with a woman in a monogamous relationship, it would be hurtful to her.”

The most recent “X-Files” spin-off, “I Want to Believe,” starring David Duchovny, opened in theaters earlier this summer.
