Portia De Rossi: Smooth Talker

Actress Portia De Rossi used to take advantage of her drunk teenage friends by persuading them that going to bed with her was just innocent fun.

The unnamed pals never suspected gay De Rossi -- then just plain old Amanda Rogers -- harbored lesbian desires, so they felt sure the bedroom sessions were totally harmless.

The former Ally McBeal star, who is now dating comedienne Ellen DeGeneres, tells gay magazine The Advocate, "In high school I had sex with girls quite a few times. They were straight women who I convinced to jump in the sack with me.

"I did a lot of fast talking as a youth; I was pretty good at it too. I was never talked into it (going to bed) -- I was always the one doing the talking.

"I just thought, 'This is so great and so interesting, and if only you knew how interesting this is and how great it feels ...'

"But these weren't real relationships with women who were gay, these were with women who were drunk. They thought, 'She's not a lesbian, so I can jump in the sack with her.'"
