Sharon Stone thinks her wrinkles attract men.

The 54-year-old actress - who is currently dating 27-year-old Argentinean model Martin Mica - does not think her sexuality has diminished with age and is convinced being older is an attractive quality to a man as older women are more likely to be ''forgiving and embracing''.

She said: ''Sex and sexuality is not about whether your elbows or knees are wrinkled. A man turns to you and says, 'I love the way you laugh.' That's what's turning him.

''They love a line around the eye or your mouth because it tells them you've laughed and you're going to laugh and be forgiving and embracing. Men want to know that you're going to be forgiving and embracing.

''Believe me when I tell you a 20 year old is not going to do that?''

However, Sharon does think many men may have trouble getting to know her because of their own egos.

She added to Britain's OK! magazine : ''I think men have a hard time managing their egos. They do OK for a while when they're dating me, but when someone explains to them that they're dating her, they have a hard time with that.''
