How Do I Trust a Potential Sexual Partner With My Body When I've Been Humiliated & Exploited In The Past?

In the first episode of the newly relaunched Clementine Ford's Big Sister Hotline , Clem dives deep into a listener's struggle with intimacy, trust, and the emotional and physical scars we carry with us. Today's caller shares her painful experience of body-shaming, sexual humiliation, and abuse from a man, leaving her torn between wanting to explore sexual connections and feeling hesitant to trust anyone with her body and emotional well-being. In this unapologetically honest, yet heart-led session, Clem delivers no-nonsense truths about the toxic dynamics of hookup culture, misogyny, and how some men exploit women’s vulnerabilities to impress other men. From sharp rebukes of damaging behaviour to practical advice on rebuilding sexual trust, Clem reminds us fiercely that your body is your own, and you deserve every intimate encounter to leave you feeling empowered, not diminished.
