Cara Delevingne has told how she finds sober sex “difficult”, because she finds the act ” so much deeper and so much more emotional” than she used to.
Cara Delevingne finds sober sex “difficult”.
The 33-year-old model and actress has been sober for four years after she ditched drink and drugs in 2022, and the star now believes she was seeking “love and validation through sex” prior to her sobriety.
She told Playboy magazine: “Sex sober after all of that is definitely difficult.
“It changes, but it’s so much deeper and so much more emotional.
“I used to put a higher value on sex and validation from people.
“I used to think, ‘Oh, I’m a pervert. I’m a really horny person.’ But I think [I was] seeking love and validation through sex.”
Cara has been dating musician Minke – whose real name is Leah Mason – since 2022, and she admits the pair are “very different” – but that is how she likes it.
The Paper Towns star added: “She’s a normie. I mean, she’s not sober, but she has a drink.
“We’re very different. I can’t date someone like myself, ever – I come with a lot of stuff.”
Cara also praised Minke as the “most incredible person” she knows, and admitted she has “never had a relationship like it”.
She added: “We’re best friends, obviously, lovers, and everything else, but I’ve never had a relationship like it and felt so close to someone and felt so seen.”
Cara – who came out as pansexual in 2020 – recently admitted she was “scared to be submissive” in her relationships.
Speaking during an on-stage “confession” segment at Rosalía’s LUX Tour concert at London’s The O2, she told the crowd: “Now I am in a committed relationship. I used to always love being the dominant one, I liked to take control.
“I think it was because I was scared of being seen, I was scared to be submissive because I didn’t want to receive love. But now I think I’m ready…
“I just want to know that even if I am submissive, I don’t want to lose that part of myself that can be that fiery, dominant Leo that I am.”
When Rosalia asked why she has to be “one or the other”, Cara agreed that “you don’t”.
She added: “I just want to make sure that’s the case, and I feel like you know.”
