"I'm used to being a chameleon, but this was absurd," she commented on the seminar.
Cara Delevingne revealed that she once took a "masturbation seminar" for her new docuseries and that it made her realize that she's more of a "prude" than she first thought.
The 30-year-old model spoke about her upcoming Hulu show, which focuses on human sexuality and her own personal experience with it, while in Cannes on Tuesday for Mipcom, an annual trade show.
During a conversation with interviewer Emma Cox at the event, Delevingne reflected on the various activities she participated in for her new television show, Planet Sex with Cara Delevingne.
"I walked into the masturbation seminar thinking it was going to be in a classroom and I'd have a notepad, and instead it was a pink leather gym mat on the floor, with six people saying to me, 'Okay, take it off. Underwear. This is the lube,'" she recounted, according to Variety.
She claimed that the seminar had an impact on her own sexuality and that it made her realize that she was not a "girl up for anything."
“I hadn't realized that I'm a prude,” she explained. “I think I'm a pretty hip, young, cool girl who's up for anything, but I thought, 'Sorry, what? I'm sorry, no, absolutely not, I'm not going to do that. But I more or less did the things that I felt comfortable with.”
Prudishness aside, the Paper Towns star went on to say that she never had "reservations" about what she submitted to for the series.
“She was telling me more, ‘What are we going to do today?’ Because every day she was completely different. I'm used to being a chameleon, but this was absurd. One day you go to have your blood drawn while having an orgasm, and the next day you go to a porn library. I thought, 'Okay, okay, let's be practical,'" she told Variety.
Elsewhere on the panel, Delevingne said her upcoming series was "very eye-opening" and helped her grow "quite a bit."
"To be honest, I feel like I needed this in my life," she said. “Maybe not to do it on camera, I mean, that was something I wanted to do for others, but in terms of, for me, I grew a lot. I had decided to take a step back from love and relationships for a while before doing this and this made me realize again how badly I needed to fix certain things in my life and move on from it."
