It is a revelation that may embarrass her grandchildren.
But Anne Robinson has said she wants people to know she enjoys sex, and does not find that it has got 'less interesting' as she has got older.
The 73-year-old said she has 'always enjoyed' that side of life, but hinted that her busy work schedule means she sometimes struggles to find the time.
The TV presenter was speaking in response Dame Judi Dench's comments in September in which the 82-year-old said she 'still feels desire'.

Miss Robsinson told The Radio Times: 'It's great. I've always enjoyed it and I've never felt that getting older has made it less interesting.'
The twice-divorced presenter has been open about her desire to find a partner, and joined the popular dating app Tinder in August – though she quit soon after finding it 'desperate'.
Asked whether she felt lonely, she said: 'Yes. Not as lonely as I've been in marriage but I don't think living on your own is a natural state.

She added that any potential suitor would need to be 'single, solvent, serious and funny'.
The so-called Queen of Mean, who was given the nickname for her stern on-screen demeanour, is about to bring back the much-loved quiz show for a celebrity special.
Miss Robsinson (pictured) described her views on sex: 'It's great. I've always enjoyed it and I've never felt that getting older has made it less interesting.'
However, she said that there is a pressure to remain 'thin' that comes with doing TV work, and that she is on a 'permanent diet'.
'I never have breakfast. I'm permanently on a diet,' she said. 'I'm like Victoria Beckham – you know, when she's really, really, really hungry, she has a piece of lettuce.'
When asked whether you have to be thin to be on TV, she replied: 'You don't necessarily, but in order to be on television when you're old, you have to be clever and thin.'
On the topic of work she had done on her face, which she said 'was 14 years ago', the grandmother-of-two admitted to having 'a bit of Botox - not a lot' over the years.
She added: 'But to be fair, I don't drink or smoke. I don't eat crap and I run and do weights.'

'I'm interested in sexual harassment on trial and a hundred years since the suffragettes - prospective title 'What the F*** Happened?'.'
In the last few weeks, the former Weakest Link and Watchdog host has come under fire for 'victim-blaming' in the wake of the Harvey Weinstein and Westminster sex scandals.
She said that the 'fragility of women' nowadays makes them less able to cope with sexual harassment, whereas women in the 1970s had a 'more robust attitude to men behaving badly'.
And she could find herself in hot water again, after appearing to make light of the allegations against Weinstein, when telling Radio Times: 'I'm quietly upset because [Weinstein] only tried to buy Weakest Link – he never tried to deal with my body.'
Four women have made rape allegations against Weinstein, while dozens more, including Gwyneth Paltrow and Cara Delevingne, have accused him of sexual harassment.
The disgraced movie mogul, who is currently at a rehab clinic in Arizona, is being investigated by the police but denies all allegations of non-consensual sex.
