Cara Delevingne has donated her orgasm to science, in a bid to provide research for the investigation into the “gender climax gap”.
The 30-year-old supermodel underwent testing as part of the study, which will be broadcast on TV this week.
She gave researchers a sample of her blood before reaching climax and afterwards, for them to examine and draw up conclusions.
The gender climax gap relates to the fact that men are more likely to have an orgasm during sex than women.
The model took part in the six-episode documentary, Planet Sex With Cara Delevingne, in order to investigate the cause of the orgasm gap.

Attending a hospital in Germany, Cara told viewers, “I’m here to have an orgasm and donate it to science.”
Undergoing the test, the levels of endocannabinoids in her system were measured, before and after orgasm. The chemical increases euphoria and amplifies the pleasurable response to sex.
The bisexual model spoke about her own relationship and experiences with sex, saying: “I think female sexual desire has definitely been repressed.
"I know from my own love life just how sexual women can be so you’d think in the 21st Century men and women should be having equally satisfying sex lives, right?
“Well, prepare for a shock. When it comes to the orgasm there is a definite gender gap.”
Cara backed up her claim with statistics, saying that 95 per cent of straight men orgasm during intercourse, against only 65 per cent of straight women.
She countered: “To be honest I think that sounds way too high, most of my straight female friends say it’s probably more like 15 or 20 per cent. Lesbians and queer women definitely seem to have it better.”
However, Cara isn’t just exploring the orgasm gap in her series, she hopes to investigate other sex-related topics.
The model met a sex expert in Holland, visited a film set where ‘ethical’ pornography was made, and made vagina artwork in Japan.
She said: “I do feel that generally men are not equipped with the right tools to handle women, especially sexually.
"I get it, it’s a lot more complicated for a woman to have to tell you that you’re not doing it right, you have to sit down and listen to what I’m saying. Yes it’s an ego-killer which most men can’t handle.”
