A Confession.

You may have read recently that Barbara Walters had a lengthy affair with former Sen. Edward Brooke in the 1970s. It's been in all the headlines and Walters discussed it in detail with Oprah Winfrey recently.

Walters' new autobiography is filled with several similarly salacious anecdotes, including one that's been overlooked by most reviewers - she also had a lengthy affair with me.

I never intended to divulge the secrets of our affair, but Walters' candor gave me the courage to come forward. You see, America was a very different place when the sparks of lust began between Bar and I.

It was late 2007 and early 2008 and many Americans frowned upon intergenerational relationships, particularly those based on physical and animal attraction like ours.

It's not like today where it's common to see grandmothers hooking up with men in their 30s or 20s. America's come a long way since then.

If we'd come forward our families would have been crushed, careers ruined and her grandkids would have been upset.

Some of you may not believe me or think I'm exaggerating - but the truth is I know every curve, every pore, every liver spot on Bar's body. And I don't regret a second of it.

I'm one of the few lucky, lucky men who knows how sexy Bar looks out of her clothes and soft focus. How else would I know Bar's favorite position is something she calls "The 20/20?"

Leave no doubt, Barbara Walters is one of my 10 most fascinating lovers.
