• Fetishised & Fed Up: Sex Siopa Owner Tells All

  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!
