David Duchovny says he can’t talk openly about sex anymore

WASHINGTON - American actor David Duchovny fears he won’t be able to talk about sex openly after checking into rehab in 2008 for its addiction.

The X-Files star had almost wrecked his marriage to actress Tea Leoni and faced public disgrace when he had to go public with his problem.

However, now he has decided not to talk about sex in interviews.

“I don’t want to be as flip as I was in the past. It’s an area that’s fraught with… It’s not something I want to discuss so lightly,” Contactmusic quoted Duchovny as telling Rolling Stone magazine.

He has also urged his fans and critics alike not to pass him off as a pervert because of his past problems.

He insists to be quite conservative, and often challenges the writers of his sex-fuelled TV show Californication when he thinks they’ve gone too far.

“I’m the one to say something is too crass. I turn into the house prude. I’ll say, ‘This is just nasty!’” he added. (ANI)
