Cara Delevingne claims men don’t have the ‘right tools’ to sexually please women
Cara Delevingne has claimed that men do not have the “right tools” to sexually please a woman.
The 30-year-old model made the bold statement in her new six-part BBC Three documentary series Planet Sex, where she talks to scientists and activists about sexuality and meets LGBTQ+ people from around the world.
She explores “the orgasm gap” in the first episode, following up on reports that 95 percent of straight men orgasm during sex, while only 65 percent of straight women do.
‘It’s much more complicated’: Cara Delevingne has claimed that men don’t have the ‘right tools’ to sexually please a woman in her documentary Planet Sex
The Vogue cover star said: “I feel like, in general, men are not equipped with the right tools to be able to handle women, especially sexually.”
“For me, the first ideas I was taught about sex were man plus woman, d**k plus vagina equals orgasm.
“I don’t want to get into the art of making a woman come, but it’s a lot more complicated and a lot more fun.”
Elsewhere, Cara admitted that she still struggles with being ‘open’ about her sexuality as she speaks candidly in the documentary.

The actress, who identifies as queer and gender fluid, said she was on a “very personal journey” into her sexuality with the show.
Since its launch on BBC iPlayer on Thursday, Planet Sex has already started trending on social media as viewers began watching all six episodes.
Reflecting on her own sexuality in episode two, Out and Proud?, Cara admitted she still has a hard time being “really open” about how much she “loves women.”
She said she grew up with a lot of “shame” around her sexuality and said she felt she was never part of the LGBTQ+ community because of her “internalized shame.”

I am on a very personal journey towards my own sexuality. You may or may not be aware that I have had relationships with both men and women,” she explained in a voiceover.
“But I still struggle to be open, really open, about how much I love women.”
“I grew up with a lot of shame thinking, this is not normal, this is 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 wavers, but I’m probably, definitely more on the women’s side.” I like to have sex with men, I just don’t date them. Although it could, you never know.

Cara went on to explain that she doesn’t believe in “labels” to define her sexuality, but said she has used them in the past, now identifying as queer and gender fluid.
The Suicide Squad actress has admitted that she feels she hasn’t lived a “queer life” due to her fight against homophobia and “internalized shame”.
She said: “I’ve always believed in the label thing, but then I’ve spent a lot of time saying ‘I’m bisexual, I’m pansexual’.” I’m queer, I can tell you 100% that I’m queer, I don’t know what else I can say other than that’.
New Show: On the show, Cara speaks with scientists and activists about sexuality and meets with LGBTQ+ people from around the world to discuss topics including pornography and the orgasm gap.
“I haven’t been able to live a queer life, the internalized shame, the homophobia,” he continued.
‘I was never in the community, yes I did go out, but I never went to Pride, I never went to these parties, I never met these people. I never developed my weirdness, I got to that too late.
Cara admitted that she had never been on Pride before and said that most of her friends identified as straight, but making 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 wasn’t familiar with the word “queer,” which refers to people who aren’t straight or cisgender.
He said he internalized negative and homophobic messages around the LGBTQ+ identity after hearing someone say that “gay wasn’t right,” admitting that he felt “abnormal.”
Cara opened up about her struggle with her sexuality and gender identity, saying that she now identifies as gender fluid, using the pronouns she/their.
In episode four, she explains, “I’m a ‘she’ right now. But I also like to dress up as a man and be a ‘he’. You don’t have to put so much pressure on what you are, who you are. Whether it’s male or female, it’s just who I am.’
While filming the show, the supermodel also gave researchers a sample of her blood before and after experiencing an orgasm so they could study its effects on her body chemistry.
She accepted the research as part of an investigation into the ‘climax gender gap’, a term used to describe why men are more likely to orgasm during intercourse than women.
Love: Reflecting on her own sexuality in episode two, Out and Proud?, Cara admitted that she still struggles with being “really open” about how much “I love women.”
Speaking outside a hospital in Germany, Cara tells viewers of her new six-part series: “I’m here to orgasm and donate it to science.”
“I think female sexual desire has definitely been suppressed. I know from my own love life just 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 for a scare. When it comes to orgasm, there is a clear gender gap.

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

Similar to the active molecule in cannabis, the chemical reduces anxiety, increases euphoria, and amplifies the pleasurable response to sex.
Cara recently admitted that making her new documentary changed her life after she committed suicide over her sexuality.
she told the Mirror: ‘My life has changed a lot. Now I am happier than ever. I am very, very proud of what we created.
Speaking of her struggles with her sexuality, she added: ‘I couldn’t talk to anyone about it. She had a lot of internalized homophobia and shame. I thought it was abnormal.
“I thought about ending my life, as I have done several times, and I’m so glad I didn’t because if I can help any other child, that means a lot to me. Means the world to that weird little kid he was. Or I am.
