Cara Delevingne has claimed men don’t have the “right tools” to sexually please a woman.
The 30-year-old model made a bold statement in her new six-part BBC Three documentary Planet Sex, in which she speaks to scientists and activists about sexuality and meets LGBTQ+ people from around the world.
In the first episode, she explores the “orgasm gap,” following reports that 95 percent of straight men have an orgasm during sex, while only 65 percent of straight women do.
“It’s just a lot more complicated”: Cara Delevingne claimed in her documentary Planet Sex that men don’t have the “right tools” to sexually satisfy a woman
The Vogue cover star said: “I feel like men in general aren’t equipped with the right tools to deal with women, especially sexually.
“For me, the earliest ideas I was ever taught about sex were man plus woman, cock plus vagina equals orgasm.
“I don’t want to go into the art of making a woman cum, but it’s just a lot more complicated and a lot more fun.”
Elsewhere, Cara admitted she still struggles to be open about her sexuality as she spoke openly in the documentary.
Wow! She explores the “orgasm gap” in the first episode, following reports that 95 percent of straight men orgasm during sex, while only 65 percent of straight women do (pictured in May 2022).
The queer and gender-identified actress said she’s been on a “very personal journey” into her sexuality with the program.
Since its release on BBC iPlayer on Thursday, Planet Sex has already started trending on social media as viewers have started binge-watching the six episodes.
Reflecting on her own sexuality in episode two, Out and Proud?, Cara admitted she still struggles with being “really open” about how much “I love women.”
She said she grew up with a lot of “shame” about her sexuality and felt she had never been a part of the LGBTQ+ community because of her “internal shame.”

“I am on a very personal journey into my own sexuality. You may or may not know that I’ve had relationships with both men and women,” she explained in a voiceover.
“But I still struggle with being open — really open — about how much I love women.”
“I grew up with a lot of shame and I think that’s not normal, that’s not human,” she added, saying her shame kept her from coming out for a long time.
She said she dates women more than men, adding, “Sexuality is a spectrum and mine varies, but I’m probably, definitely more on the side of women. I like sex with men, I just don’t date them. But I could, you never know.”

Cara went on to explain that she doesn’t believe in “labels” to define her sexuality, but said she’s used them in the past and now identifies as queer and gender-biased.
The Suicide Squad actress admitted she didn’t feel like she’d lived a “queer life” because she struggles with homophobia and “internalized shame.”
She said: “I always believed in the no-label thing, but then I spent a lot of time saying, ‘I’m bisexual, I’m pansexual.’ I’m queer, I can tell you 100 percent that I’m queer, I don’t know what else to say.

“I wasn’t able to live the queer life, the internalized shame, the homophobia,” she continued.
“I’ve never been to church, yes I’ve come out, but I’ve never gone to Pride, I’ve never gone to these parties, I’ve never met these people. I never developed my queerness, I’m very late to it.’
Cara admitted she had never been to Pride before and said most of her friends identified as straight, but the documentary made her feel more connected to the LGBTQ+ community.
“I have a lot more queer friends now,” she said.
Growing up in the 1990s and 2000s, Cara also said she didn’t know the word “queer,” which refers to people who aren’t straight or cisgender.
She said she internalized negative and homophobic messages surrounding LGBTQ+ identity after hearing someone say “gay isn’t right,” and admitted she felt “abnormal.”
Discussing struggles with her sexuality and gender identity, Cara said she now identifies as gendered by using her/her pronouns.
In episode four, she explains, “I’m a ‘she’ right now. But I also like dressing up as a man and being a he. You don’t have to put so much pressure on yourself about who you are, who you are. Whether it’s male or female, it’s just who I am.”
During filming of the program, the supermodel also gave researchers a blood sample before and after orgasm so they could study the effects on her body chemistry.
She agreed to the research as part of an investigation into the “gender climax gap,” a term used to describe why men are more likely than women to have an orgasm during sex.
Love: As Cara reflected on her own sexuality on episode two, Out and Proud?, she admitted she still struggles with being “really open” about how much “I love women.”
Outside a hospital in Germany, Cara tells viewers of her new six-part series, “I’m here to have an orgasm and donate it to science.
“I think female sexual desire has definitely been suppressed. I know from my own love life how sexual women can be, so you’d think that in the 21st century men and women should have equally satisfying sex lives, right?
“Well, prepare yourself for a shock. When it comes to orgasm, there is a definite gender difference.

“Scientists say that 95 percent of straight men orgasm during intercourse, but only 65 percent of straight women.
“I think that’s way too high to be honest, most of my straight friends say it’s probably closer to 15 or 20 percent.
“Lesbians and queer women definitely seem to have it better.”
The experiment measured the endocannabinoids in her system before and after orgasm.

Similar to the active molecule in cannabis, the chemical reduces anxiety, increases euphoria, and enhances the pleasurable response to sex.
Cara recently admitted that the production of her new documentary has changed her life after being suicidal over her sexuality.
She told the Mirror: “It changed my life a lot. Now I’m happier than ever. I’m really, really proud of what we’ve created.”
Discussing her struggles with her sexuality, she added, “I couldn’t talk to anyone about it. I had a lot of internalized homophobia and shame. I thought I was abnormal.
“I’ve thought about ending my life, as I’ve done on a number of occasions, and I’m so glad I didn’t because if I can help another child, it means the world to me. It means the world to this weird little kid that I was. Or I am.’
Planet Sex With Cara Delevingne aired Thursday at 10pm on BBC3 and is available on BBC iPlayer.
