Charlie Sheen is opening up for the first time about having sexual encounters with men. In his upcoming memoir, “The Book of Sheen,” and the Netflix documentary series, “aka Charlie Sheen,” the actor says “I flipped the menu” when discussing his past sexual experiences with other men. He expanded on the topic by telling People: “I’m not going to run from my past, or let it own me.”

In the documentary, Sheen say it’s “liberating” to finally talk publicly about having sex with men. He adds: “It’s fricking liberating… [to] just talk about stuff. It’s like a train didn’t come through the side of the restaurant. A fricking piano didn’t fall out of the sky. No one ran into the room and shot me.”

While speaking to “Good Morning America,” Sheen said his sexual encounters with men began while he was using crack.

“That’s what started it,” Sheen said. “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 fricking fun. And life goes on.”
