David Duchovny is about as famous for his reported sex addiction as he is for his roles on The X-Files and Californication so we figured this week we’d have a look at his alleged dating history with the pretty and famous. Duchovny probably isn’t the only guy we’ve profiled who would qualify as having a sex addiction, but he’s the only one to actually admit it. So how does his addiction help him measure up to the other legendary ladies men? Read on to find out.
