Sex addiction has come out of the closet. Once spoken of in hushed and skeptical tones only, sex addicts have become the subjects of memoirs and movies ("Choke," "Black Snake Moan"). Characters defined by their uncontrollable bed-hopping now pop up on prime-time television shows like "Nip/Tuck." In the recent much-publicized case of life imitating art, David Duchovny, who plays a serial adulterer on the cable series "Californication," completed treatment for a sex addiction that he says broke up his marriage to Tea Leoni.
