Just Don’t F*cking Touch Me: When Empathy Runs Dry and Libido Hides - with Peta Romeo

Send us a text

Sexuality. Empathy. Rage. Healing. And the overwhelming urge to just be left the hell alone.

This week on High Tea with Lady V, we sit down with the fierce and fabulous Peta Romeo—certified somatic sex and relationship coach, host of The Ecology of Intimacy podcast, and passionate advocate for women’s sexual healing and spiritual liberation.

Together, we dive into the raw realities of womanhood—what happens when we’re endlessly touched out, when our empathy is on E, and when our sexuality is buried beneath layers of trauma, people-pleasing, and societal shame. From the invisible weight of motherhood and perimenopause to reclaiming pleasure and learning about your actual anatomy (spoiler alert: your clitoris is way more powerful than you’ve been told)—this episode is an absolute liberation call for every woman who’s ever thought, “I love you… but please, for the love of God, don’t touch me.”

We talk responsive desire, the power of saying no, pelvic reflexology, cervical orgasms, and the practice of “Pilates” (yes, vaginal ones). This is not your mama’s sex ed class.

✨ Warning: unfiltered, unashamed, and radically empowering.
