Sharon's Instincts

Sex mad Sharon Stone has confessed a desire to get her hands on as many toyboys as possible.

Talking candidly about her love-life, Sharon Stone told the world: "I want to have sex."

The 46-year-old has been linked to a series of young fellas since divorcing husband Phil Bronstein last year.

And she revealed the pretty flimsy one-liner she uses to put off younger men that attempt to be her next toyboy lover.

"I tell the younger ones, 'I could be your mum," she said.

"And they say, 'But you're not.' Yahoo!"

Sharon has been back in the public eye since announcing plans to star in the sequel to Basic Instinct. She is also doing the promotional rounds for the Halle Berry action movie Catwoman.

"Women my age, we want to have sex and are happy to say, 'I want sex,'" added the star.

She insisted that men trying to impress her needed to show a bit of traditional charm.

The actress said: "I like guys that are kind and friendly. And I like old-fashioned guys with good manners.

"I like that they stand up when you come into the room. I like it when they pay, I'm that shallow."

The star has also revealed that she has quit smoking and drinking since suffering a brain aneurysm in 2002.

"When my brain exploded, it was the best thing that ever happened to me," Sharon explained.

"I have such a better life now. I'm at the point in my life where if you don't want my peaches, don't shake my tree."
