Brad Pitt recently opened up one of his secrets to keeping the romance alive with partner Angelina Jolie– and it’s straight out of Hugh Hefner‘s playbook!

“[It’s] a great place for sex,” Pitt told Parade about the secret stone grotto behind the waterfall in his pool.

Pitt got a little more serious when the topic turned to marriage, reiterating his stand that he would not walk down the aisle until everyone had the legal right to.

“I have love in my life, a soul mate ­absolutely. When someone asked me why Angie and I don’t get married, I replied, Maybe we’ll get married when it’s legal for everyone else.” I stand by that, although I took a lot of flak for saying it­–hate mail from religious groups,” Pitt revealed. “I believe everyone should have the same rights. They say gay marriage ruins families and hurts kids. Well, I’ve had the privilege of seeing my gay friends being parents and watching their kids grow up in a loving environment.”

Just in case there was still any doubt on his stand on gay marriage, Pitt happily embraced the idea of any of his own children being homosexual.

“Would it bother me if a child of mine turns out to be gay? No, not one bit. Listen, I want my kids to live the lives they want to live. I want them to be fulfilled. I hope I teach my kids to be who they really are.”
