Cara Delevingne is set to discuss her own experiences of gender and sexuality in the upcoming BBC docu-series Planet Sex.
The British model is an entertainment industry staple, having walked the biggest runways in the world and fronted coveted campaigns while branching out into the world of acting in the likes of Suicide Squad and Only Murders in the Building. On top of that, the celebrated LGBTQ+ icon, has now branched out into the world of presenting and will be exploring human sexuality on an incredibly immersive journey.
In the docu-series, the 30-year-old travels to the likes of London, Los Angeles, Tokyo and Berlin in search of answers about sex. Viewers will be able to see her donate her orgasm to science in Germany (yes, really), attend a women-only sex club as well as a masturbation masterclass and visit an "ethical" porn set.
Cara, who also makes art from her vagina in Japan, will also share her own personal experiences with sex in each episode in a bid to understand society's deepest desires. Her findings also leave her reflecting on how much is still left to learn about female sexuality to ensure that women are equal to men when it comes to sexual pleasure.
In the trailer, she can be heard explaining: "I date men, but oh do I love women and everyone else. There's so much to know about the world of sex, and I want answers!"
Speaking at MIPCOM at Cannes recently, Cara admitted she never expected the journey the show would take her on. "I went into the masturbation seminar thinking it was going to be a classroom and I'd have a notepad, and instead, it was a pink, leather gym mat on the floor, with six people going, 'Well, take your underwear off. This is the lube.'" She added: "I didn't realise I was a prude. I think I'm a pretty hip, young, cool, down-with-anything kind of girl, but I was like, 'Sorry what? Sorry, no, absolutely not, I will not do that.' But I kind of did everything I felt comfortable doing."
Episode 1: The Orgasm Gap of the six-parter Planet Sex With Cara Delevingne will air on BBC Three and iPlayer on Thurs 1st Dec, 10pm.
