To Be Touched vs. To Be Seen

In this powerful episode of The Altitude Sessions, Robin Vox kicks off the Pleasure, Pain, & the Pieces Between series with an unfiltered dive into performative sex, emotional emptiness, and what it means to be truly seen instead of simply touched. She unpacks how social conditioning, relationship dynamics, and survival mode can strip sex of its soul—and how clarity, consent, and genuine connection can help rebuild it.

This isn’t just about sex, it’s about worth, voice, and reclaiming the right to feel.

In This Episode:

• Why so many women learn to perform pleasure instead of receive it
• The difference between being touched vs. being seen
• How disconnection can show up even in long-term relationships or marriage
• Stories of freedom, clarity, and better sex in situationships with honest expectations
• A bold call to redefine intimacy through truth, trust, and care
• Permission to say: “I want to be wanted for me, not just what I can do for you.”

Quotable Moments:

“To be touched is to be used. To be seen is to be chosen.” “Some of the best sex of my life didn’t have a future but it had honesty.” “I was giving access to my body before I even knew what my soul needed.”
