Charlie Sheen is addicted to women, said Erik Hedegaard in Rolling Stone. “People think I’m a bit of a rogue, a cad, a Lothario, and I’m not,” says the three-times-married actor. “I just love women. I love them.” He lost his virginity at the age of 15 to a Las Vegas prostitute, with his dad—the actor Martin Sheen—sleeping in the hotel room next door. Sheen stole his dad’s credit card to pay for the experience. “I remember having the greatest night of my life.” Two weeks later, his dad wanted to know about the $350 bill on his statement. But Martin didn’t lecture his son about sleeping with prostitutes. “He just hoped I understood that it’s not love. I was like, ‘Really? You should have seen her, Dad. That’s true love,’” he says, laughing. Since then, he’s been involved with numerous working girls, porn stars, and Hollywood actresses—often at the same time. “Some gals you like to smoke pot with, some to watch a movie with, some, like the porn girls, are just a little crazier,” he says. “My point is, it’s possible to have different feelings for different women at the same time.”
