In her address to her 267,900 TikTok followers, Sami shared her personal experiences of aggression in sexual situations, even with partners she had been dating.

“It’s really traumatic, and it’s happened to me so many times. It’ll be the sweetest guy ever, and then in bed, it’s just — I’m terrified, and I’m not having fun,” she explained. “It’s the worst experience ever.”

Sami recounted having to correct past partners, telling them, “You can’t do that. That’s not OK,” reinforcing her preference for open communication about consent. Despite her efforts, she noted that several “really, really bad experiences” have left her emotionally scarred and fearful of men.

“How could someone want to hurt a woman like that? Is it not sexy to them to be gentle with a woman? Why is there so much violence? What is attractive about that?” she questioned. She accepted that individual preferences may vary but insisted that consent and comfort should be discussed before intimacy.

“Just ask, like, ‘Can I do this to you? Is that okay? Are you comfortable with this? Is this okay? Does this hurt?’” Sami urged, emphasizing that “consent is sexy” and advocating for its necessity in intimate encounters.

Concluding her video, Sami expressed her reluctance to engage with men for the foreseeable future, stating, “I don’t want to do anything with another man for a really long time. I’m genuinely scared. I don’t trust any of them.”
