The Oscar-nominated King Kong star even tells how her 15-year-old daughter discovered she had purchased a new and “excellent” vibrator that glows “in the dark and has multiple speeds”. Straight-talking Naomi, 56, writes: “One night I was in the mood but on my own, so when I got out of a bath I got into bed with my new rose vibrator.

“I realised that it had a sucking feature, so I decided to try that out on my nipple. “I know it’s not common to engage in foreplay with yourself. But for this particular night, I decided I would take my time with myself. “Well, it all went well.
“Afterwards, I put the rose back in the box and then I left it beside me, as if we were going to have post-coital pillow talk. “The next morning, my 15-year-old came in and saw the box and said, ‘Mum!’. “All women have vibrators,” I said, ‘You can get them at Urban Outfitters now’.
But I was mortified. And on top of that, my nipple was throbbing all day.”. British-born Naomi has opened up about her sex life and libido in Dare I Say It: Everything I Wish I Knew About Menopause. In an extract from the book published in The Times magazine, Naomi tells how she found out she was in early menopause with night sweats, then brain fog and skin dryness, when she was 36.
