Charlie Sheen details sexual experiences with men for first time in Netflix doc

Charlie Sheen opens up about his sexual experiences with men for the first time in his upcoming Netflix documentary, “aka Charlie Sheen.”

“I flipped the menu over,” he says about his decision to try something new after years of having sex with women, per People on Friday.

The “Platoon” star, 60, then goes on to call his decision to talk about his past encounters with men “liberating.”

“It’s f—ing liberating… [to] just talk about stuff. It’s like a train didn’t come through the side of the restaurant. A f—ing piano didn’t fall out of the sky. No one ran into the room and shot me,” the actor explains.

Sheen went on to divulge that his encounters with men began when he was smoking crack.

“That’s what started it,” he says.”That’s where it was born, or sparked. And in whatever chunks of time that I was off the pipe, trying to navigate that, trying to come to terms with it — ‘Where did that come from?… Why did that happen? — and then just finally being like, ‘So what?’ So what? Some of it was weird. A lot of it was f—ing fun, and life goes on.”

However, following his drug-fueled hook-ups, the “Two and a Half Men” alum contracted HIV.

He was then forced to go public with his diagnosis in 2015 during an interview with the “Today” show after being diagnosed four years prior.

Sheen notes that he decided to disclose his status because he had been blackmailed by ex-girlfriends, who estimated that he’d shelled out millions of dollars to keep it private.

Sheen opens up about his past sexual encounters, as well as his struggles with drugs, in his upcoming memoir, “The Book of Sheen,” as well as his Netflix documentary.

“The Book of Sheen” is set to come out on Sept. 9, while “aka Charlie Sheen” premieres on Sept. 10.

On Thursday, Sheen attended the premiere of his documentary, accompanied by his ex-wife Denise Richards. This was the first time the former couple reunited on a red carpet since February 2005.
