Naomi Watts opens up about sex after menopause
The actress has admitted that she enjoys sex a lot more now than she used to. The menopause plays a big role for them. “Personally, I think sex is more fun when you take away the fear of having babies,” she said. “Closed for business, open for pleasure,” she jokingly called her body.
Age also had a positive effect on her self-esteem, Watts admitted. “It feels more like, ‘I’m going to do this for myself.’ You’re more confident, you’ve got experience, you’re smarter, and you don’t keep thinking, ‘Oh, I’d rather turn off the light right now.'”
Menopause at 36
A few months ago, the British-Australian actress reported that menopause had already announced itself at the age of 36. “I think it’s about time women were well represented at this stage of life or this age group. We’ve been underserved in media, in stories and in marketing for far too long. Especially since by 2025 there will be more than 1 billion people in the world menopause,” she said on Instagram.

On one of her first dates with husband Crudup, Watts wore an estrogen patch meant to regulate her hormones. It was terribly embarrassing for her, she said at the wellness event. “I was so embarrassed and he was 100 percent empathetic with me. I can safely say that we had some pretty great sex that night,” she said.
