Kim Cattrall says masturbating from a young age is the secret to a successful sex life.

The 'Sex and the City: The Movie' star - who has written books about her own sexual experiences - would have been more sexually fulfilled if she had learned how to pleasure herself when she was younger.

She said: "The earlier you learn to masturbate, the better your sex life will be. It took me years of self-discovery to get there - I even read books by sex therapists and stood naked in front of a mirror to try to learn how to get in touch with my body."

"Experimenting at an early age would have provided me with a basis for a more fulfilling sexual relationship."

Kim - who is dating chef Alan Wyse - also revealed she loves men who are "clean."

She added to Britain's Cosmopolitan magazine: "One of the biggest limitations in sex is that most men don't know how to enable a woman to reach orgasm - and most women aren't confident enough to tell men what they need to do. That's why talking is so vital."

"We're all different, and have different desires and tastes. My own preference, for example, is a clean-shaven man who smells fresh and clean. You can't be afraid to let go."
