Filthy John: Aine’s Story

This week it's Katelyn Divilly from The Traitors Ireland.. she was the second traitor booted (apols for any potential spoiler there but get with the times). We have a good chat about the madness inside the castle, the whole “we can control her” weirdness, and then of course her own dating life. Katelyn’s happily single, hates dating apps, and knows all about the pressure people put on you to settle down and start popping out kids. She also tells me about the holiday romance that went to shit. Her take on dating is one we could all do with adopting. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-dating-orange-podcast--5898530/support.

We're gonna chat about strange world of paypigging and FinDom. Firstly - big thanks to my pal Fergal Darcy for lending his voice to the paypig’s messages - I think you have a calling there hun!I start by sharing the story of my own on/off seven-month communication with a paypig which was aided by both my fella and the girls. The PayPiggy himself was meant to be a guest on this pod before suddenly cutting it off and blocking me. Then I’m joined by Niamh, who took to being a financial dominator like a duck to water. Between my weird little saga and her first-hand experience, we'll be covering a few bases here. Would you take some free money in exchange for calling someone a Pig? Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-dating-orange-podcast--5898530/support.

I always thought it was poor form how Irish lads spoke to South Americans, so say hello to Ana from Brazil and Lucia from Venezuela to chat about what it’s really like dating in Ireland as a South American woman.Lucia’s been here five years and has been on over 50 dates — all with Irish or European men. Ana’s been here three and shares her experience of a 1.5-year relationship with an Irish man who struggled with addiction.We look at culture differences, red flags, and what it’s like being treated like a sexy fantasy, or...... like you’re just after a visa.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-dating-orange-podcast--5898530/support.

Join myself and Irish writer, poet, and mental health advocate Daragh Fleming - who tells us about the time he got SEXTORTED (technical term, intimate image abuse or image-based sexual abuse) by a Nigerian gang of all people!Instead of spiralling and curling up under the duvet (which, fair), Daragh decided to go public with the story - not for clout, but to help others avoid the same trap and the brutal mental health spiral that can come with it. Once a mental health advocate, always a mental health advocate. It’s raw, honest, and somehow still funny.We also chat about the time he went on a date in Barcelona with a Venezuelan doctor who robbed his favourite shirt. There’s blackmail, Twitter virality, trolls and a rogue medical professional who has no respect for an Irishman's H&M shirt. Enjoy lads and lassies! Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-dating-orange-podcast--5898530/support.

I am back after a brief 6 week hiatus following the Filthy John SAGA!An seachtain seo, I have Seattle native Shawna Scott who is the founder of Sex Siopa, Ireland’s most beloved multi-award-winning sex toy boutique. The Americano Shawna spotted a major gap in Ireland’s market for inclusive, body-safe, shame-free sex products and much to our JOY, decided to do something about it. She takes us back to her early days selling at kink markets, what it’s like being fetishised as a sex shop owner by men who can't simply control themselves for two minutes, and the unwelcome dirty convos she’s had on dating apps.We also get into her own messy dating experience with yet another Filthy John™ from 2017, a saga that played out very publicly… on Twitter, of course. Back in the good ole days when Irish twitter was hopping. Stay tuned! Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-dating-orange-podcast--5898530/support.

For almost the first year of her relationship with John, Linda was over the moon. she thought she had the perfect relationship, and the BDSM aspect was the cherry on top. But things took a turn, and John's manipulation became relentless - convincing her and even her family that she was unwell, stealing from her and mentally abusing her.  In this episode, Linda opens up about the emotional and mental torture she endured. Monica also shares her harrowing experience -  the night he threatened her with a wrench, and she feared her child would find her dead in a pool of blood the next morning. Trigger warning: This episode discusses emotional and physical abuse, coercive control, and threats of violence.If you’ve been affected by anything in this series, support is available.
