    We sat down with Shawna from Sexsiopa.ie to chat about her online sex toy business. We chat about why Ireland needed an online sex shop? is the irish market specific? What does body safe mean?

  • Dating in America vs Ireland, who should buy condoms and are hairy legs a chastity belt.
    A very fun episode Katie and I recorded over skype. Our main topic came from a listener suggestion to talk about the differences between dating in America and Ireland. We got some great feedback on that on instagram. We also discuss should women also have condoms with them just in case? Do the Irish neg more? Would you leave your legs hairy to protect you from a bad decision later on? We have a quick chat also about trying to make people jealous and whether that is cool? We will definitely be revisiting that one in more detail in the future.
