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

Send us Fan MailSexuality. 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.00:00 Welcome to High Tea with Lady Bee00:33 The Burden of Female Sexuality and Trauma02:19 Introduction to Peter Romeo03:25 Socialization and Boundaries05:20 Motherhood and Perimenopause07:34 Rediscovering Female Sexuality18:38 The Complexity of Female Orgasms24:07 Healing and Embracing Female Sexuality29:30 Overcoming Body Image Issues in Relationships31:31 Creating a Context for Desire37:22 Navigating Modern Female Roles39:00 Parenting and Generational Shifts43:24 Reclaiming Sexuality and Language44:54 Introduction to Tantra and Taoism46:23 Exploring Sacred Sexuality Practices50:18 Starting Your Journey with Sacred Sexuality54:33 The Importance of Female Connection and Support55:48 Conclusion and Final ThoughtsThanks for listening!
