The 52-year-old actress admits her love life is almost non-existent at the moment- comparing it to the barren Mojave desert - but it`s not from lack of offers as males in their 20s are keen to date her, but she`s not sure what their intentions are.

She told America`s More magazine: "Life and love is like the ocean. Sometimes the tide is in and sometimes the tide is out, and sometimes it`s like the frigging Mojave. Where`s the tide now? For me? Mojave! Fortunately, I like the desert. I`m a desert flower.

"I really get pursued by men in their 20s, like a lot. They probably know there`s food in the fridge and that somebody`s going to talk to them and ask them how their day was."

Despite being regarded as one of the world`s most beautiful women, Sharon says she never appreciated her looks until she saw herself in 1994 film `Basic Instinct` when she was 34.

She said: "I turned to one friend and I was like, `Look how great they made me look. It`s unbelievable.` He goes, `That`s how you look.` I`m like, `No, no. Really. Look what they did.`

"He says, `Would you shut up? I`m trying to watch the movie. That`s how you look.` "
