A top Tory female minister has revealed she was once "pinned up against a wall" by a male MP a number of years ago.
Anne-Marie Trevelyan was quizzed about sexism and misogyny in politics in the UK after a number of incidents earlier this week.
The Secretary of State for International Trade has told men to "keep your hands in your pockets" after she said she suffered "wandering hands" around half a dozen times.
She told Sky News that the vast majority of her male colleagues are "delightful" and "committed parliamentarians".
"But there are a few for whom too much drink, or indeed a sort of, a view that somehow being elected makes them you know, God's gift to women, that they can suddenly please themselves, that is never OK, that kind of behaviour, disrespect for women".
She added: "Fundamentally, if you're a bloke, keep your hands in your pockets and behave as you would if you had your daughter in the room".
Westminster has been rocked by a number of harassment and sexism allegations this week after the deputy Labour leader Angela Rayner was accused of deliberately trying to distract Prime Minister Boris Johnson by crossing and uncrossing her legs in the House of Commons.
Trevelyan described her own experiences while in parliament, she told LBC: "We might describe it as wandering hands.
"We might describe it as, a number of years ago being pinned up against a wall by a male MP who is now no longer in the House, I'm pleased to say, declaring that I must want him because he was a powerful man.
"These sorts of things, the power abuses that a very small minority thank goodness of male colleagues show is completely unacceptable.
"We’ve made real progress in both calling it out and indeed supporting those who are starting to feel they can come forward."
On Wednesday it emerged that a Tory MP had been caught watching pornography in the House of Commons by two female colleagues.
An investigation has been launched by the chief whip.
Trevelyan described allegations that a Tory MP watched pornography in the Commons chamber as "completely unacceptable", but declined to say whether they should be sacked.
She told Sky News: "I haven't had the chance to talk to the chief whip, and I know the ladies in question who apparently saw this completely, completely inappropriate activity have been encouraged to use the formal system in the House of Commons to be able to report it and I hope very much that they will or indeed have, I don't know, and that the system will demonstrate if that was the case, exactly what the punishment should be for that sort of inappropriate behaviour".
She also said she is confident that chief whip Chris Heaton-Harris will "take a decision that's appropriate".
