Charlie Sheen got brutally honest about every aspect of his life — including when he lost his virginity — in his memoir.
In a passage from The Book of Sheen: A Memoir, which was released Tuesday, September 9, Sheen, 60, recalled having sex for the first time with “a gorgeous red-headed Vegas escort named Candy.” Sheen and his friend Joey “borrowed” his dad Martin Sheen‘s wallet during a trip to Las Vegas before visiting Candy, who “responded with a level of physical generosity neither of us knew existed.”
“She was Ann-Margret in her prime with a Mastercard swiper. (I didn’t care that the swipe took longer than the sex.) It was everything I’d hoped for, it was everything I could have imagined,” he wrote before recalling how Candy asked whether he could “wake Dad up for an autograph” after their encounter. “For the record, I went first.”
Martin, now 85, ultimately caught wind of what took place and gave Charlie a two-hour lecture about “sex vs. love.”
When Stars Lost Their Virginity
“I kept stressing how gorgeous Candy was and what a great deal Dad and I both got for the price,” Charlie wrote. “The look on his face told me we were done.”
The Book of Sheen: A Memoir covers Charlie’s ups and downs in the public eye. Released one day before his Netflix doc, aka Charlie Sheen, both projects highlight Charlie’s childhood in Malibu, his success in the ’80s and ’90s and his headline-making drug use over the years.
In aka Charlie Sheen, which premieres Wednesday, September 10, Charlie spoke to filmmaker Andrew Renzi about his rise to stardom and subsequent fall amid addiction struggles. In the sneak peek, Charlie’s exes Denise Richards and Brooke Mueller were interviewed, as were Two and a Half Men creator Chuck Lorre and costar Jon Cryer. Charlie’s brother Ramon Estevez was the only family member — outside of the actor’s youngest daughter with Richards, Lola — to participate.
Before his memoir and documentary were released, Charlie opened up about how his relationship with Martin suffered due to his personal battles with addiction.

“Dad was, like, halfway through [my book],” Charlie said on the Monday, September 8, episode of Good Morning America. “He said, ‘Your use of humor in your darkest moments is a gift to the reader,’ is how he described it.”
Charlie went on to note he still has people he would like to make amends with, saying, “There’s a few people still out there that, if I could get in touch with them, or if our paths are meant to cross, that there’s still some of that available for them.”
After rehashing the most difficult aspects of his past, Charlie is hoping to move on from that period in his life.
“This story should have ended 100 times, 20 years ago, and it didn’t,” he added. “So, whatever happens next might be where some of the real gold has been hidden.”
