Charlie Sheen losing his virginity to a Las Vegas escort was “everything [he’d] hoped for.”
The actor detailed his experience, which happened when he was a high school sophomore, in his “Book of Sheen” memoir, out Tuesday.
The “Two and a Half Men” alum, 60, admitted to readers that he and his friend Joey “borrowed” dad Martin Sheen’s credit card for the occasion.
The “gorgeous redhead … responded with a level of physical generosity neither of us knew existed,” Charlie recalled.
“She was [actress] Ann-Margret in her prime with a Mastercard swiper,” he wrote. “I didn’t care that the swipe took longer than the sex. It was everything … I could have imagined.”
The Golden Globe winner, who “went first,” noted that the woman asked him to “wake Dad up for an autograph.”
Charlie remembered that when Martin, 85, found out about the hookup, he lectured Charlie for two hours on “sex versus love.”
The Emmy nominee wrote, “I kept stressing how gorgeous Candy was and what a great deal Dad and I both got for the price. The look on his face told me we were done.”
While promoting his book — and his forthcoming Netflix documentary, “aka Charlie Sheen” — on “Good Morning America” Monday, Charlie spoke candidly about his father’s “biggest betrayal.”
The “West Wing” alum, notably, signed Charlie’s arrest warrant when he overdosed on drugs while on probation — an act Charlie later acknowledged as “love.”
He went on to tell viewers his father read the wide-ranging book — which covers his liposuction experience, his sobriety journey, his years of celibacy and more — and delivered a positive verdict.
Martin said, “Your use of humor in your darkest moments is a gift to the reader.”
Charlie explained to Page Six on Tuesday that “a running theme” of the memoir is that he made “choices” that led to “consequences,” which meant he couldn’t write from the “viewpoint of a victim.”
The “Anger Management” alum added, “It’s really the story of a little kid just trying to find his way back home … and I hope that people can relate to that.”
“The Book of Sheen” hit stores Tuesday, while “aka Charlie Sheen” begins streaming on Netflix Wednesday.
