Denise Richards regularly checks into hotels for secret no-strings-attached sex romps with male friends.

Since her bitter split from ex-husband Charlie Sheen, the star of E!’s It’s Complicated prefers to get her jollies from “friends with benefits.”

Denise told The Globe this week: “You don’t want to bring them home to your house, but I have certain needs. Friends with benefits are awesome. I used to be like, ‘Oh no, you have to be in a relationship.’ But after going through a divorce, I’m like, ‘Life is short, I wanna have a good time.’”
