Washington, July 17, 2007 (Tuesday) - Actor David Duchovny says that he despises the idea of shooting a sex scene with his real-life wife Tea Leoni, perhaps because he fears that she will again pass out after the passionate act. 

The former X-Files star revealed that his actress wife once fainted after a vigorous steamy sex session with him early on in their relationship. 

"We were on a weekend getaway and it was up in Vancouver.  It was really early in the relationship and we were just all over each other and the sauna wasn't going to stop me. I recovered pretty quickly. She got a little enervated,” Contactmusic quoted Duchovny, as saying.

However, on a serious note David maintained that he would never consider a sex scene with Leoni because he feels that their union is “kind of sacrosanct.” 

"We've been pretty good at that so far, mostly because she doesn't want to work with me,” he said. 

"But honestly, we try not to work together because we feel like our relationship is kind of sacrosanct. But I can't imagine what would be worse than watching people that actually have sex have sex on camera. I can't imagine a creepier thing,” he added. (ANI)
