During the event – titled 'Unlocking Intimacy, Navigating Passion in Midlife' – the Mail added Naomi said "sex becomes more pleasurable" with age. She was on a panel with doctors Suzanne Fenske and Somi Javaid and reportedly said, "We've heard tonight that there are complications, keeping sex and the libido alive and everything, but sometimes people have the complete reverse effect.
"In fact, I think there was a time, generations ago, and talking about what menopause actually was... it was hysteria, and some women were nymphomaniacs. Like we were just crazy old crows that wanted sex too much," she said with a laugh. I personally think sex becomes more pleasurable when you take out the fear of, like, making babies... when you know it's not the right time... like what is that expression: 'Closed for business, open for pleasure!' It feels more, 'I'm going to do this for myself'... you're more confident with yourself, you've had experience, you're wiser, you're not going to be all like, 'Oh, I want to turn the lights down.'

"I'm newly married, in the honeymoon stage, I suppose, so it might sound easy for me to say, but I do think communication is the biggest key here. Like whatever it is you're going through, if you can talk to your partner, if you can be honest and have a really authentic conversation and take away the awkwardness, and most of the time, if they're good people, they will be empathetic, and that's hot, that's really hot when you can be honest, and the conversation lands really well to the point where, 'Yeah we got through the awkwardness and now, like, let's kick off some fun'."
When asked what her favourite sex position is, Naomi is said to have admitted, "On top, underneath! Right now, I'm not fussy."
