Jenny McCarthy: 'I'm a self-love expert'

Jenny McCarthy has declared herself to be an expert in "self-love".

The former Playboy playmate, who split from her long-term partner Jim Carrey in April, revealed that she has often taken matters into her own hands to quell her particularly high sex drive.

"I know a lot about my own self-love and taking care of myself," she told Bang Showbiz. "I love having sex, and I'm just really smart about it."

McCarthy also admitted that she likes getting her own way in relationships and enjoys putting her lovers to the test.

"I'm a big calculator. I will make a man prove his love to me by having him maybe do something he doesn't want to do."

McCarthy recently revealed her disappointment at not having made a sex tape.
