    Ask Uncut - Orgasms On Demand, Mysterious Nudes Heating Up The FB Group & One Very Suspicious Brother In Law

    Hey Lifers! Welcome back to Ask Uncut where we answer your deep, your dark and your burning questions. Laura kicks things off with a Facebook group confession that's got us absolutely in shock… or maybe it’s awe? We’re talking rogue orgasms and it’s wild Vibes of the week: Laura: Toxic Love Story on Netflix Britt: Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros Q1: SHOULD I TELL MY SISTER HER HUSBAND IS MESSAGING ANOTHER WOMAN?  My sister is overseas and I had her husband over for dinner. While he was on a video call with her, I saw a flirty conversation open on his phone with a woman saved only as a photo and a question mark. Do I wait until she's home, or say something now? Q2: IF YOU BREAK IT, DO YOU BUY IT?  My housemate's cleaner accidentally broke one glass from a $140 pair, and now my housemate is making her pay for the full set. She seems thrilled about ending up with three glasses instead of two. Q3: MY PARTNER'S NEVER BEEN FLIRTY WITH ME?  My partner of nine months just told me his socials were "hacked" and someone's trying to extort him using a nude he sent 12–18 months ago. He's never once sent me anything like that, and I can't stop wondering why. Q4: AM I LIMITING MYSELF BY AVOIDING “CASUAL” DATERS?   I'm back on the apps and getting plenty of matches, but most guys are upfront that they only want something casual. My ex said the same thing before we met and changed his mind a month in,  am I limiting myself by only going out with people who say they want something serious?

    "I Was Almost Human Trafficked in Paris” - Uncut with Djanaya Hampton

    Today we're speaking to Djanaya Hampton, the Australian woman you've probably already seen going viral online. Every year, Djanaya Hampton takes herself on a solo birthday trip. It’s her own tradition, ticking off a bucket list she made years ago. It had always been safe. It had always been beautiful. Until her 29th birthday, when a night watching the sunset under the Eiffel Tower turned into hours of being followed, surrounded and hunted through the Paris metro by a group of men who were trying to traffic her. Djanaya walks us through the entire night in real time from the "harmless" photo request that was actually the first red flag, the moment she watched money change hands, losing them on one train only to have them get on the next, and the stranger on a near-empty carriage who may have saved her life. We also talk about what happened after: the Australian Embassy telling her she needed to leave the country immediately, what it really means to be "on the black market," and the wave of support, and disbelief, she's faced since sharing her story. Djanaya shares: Why she started solo-travelling for her birthday every year, and the countries she'd been to before Paris The exact moment she first felt something was wrong — before she could even explain why What it's like to realise, in real time, that you're being followed by multiple people How a stranger who happened to speak Spanish became the reason she got out safely What the Australian Embassy told her about being "on the black market" Why she waited over a year to share her story, and the response since The other survivor stories she's been sent since going viral Britt's own close call in Medellín, Colombia Timestamps 00:00 – Introducing Djanaya and her solo birthday travel tradition 05:06 – Her 29th birthday at the Eiffel Tower, and the men who approached her 08:50 – The "let's take a photo" moment that set off alarm bells 13:44 – Followed and surrounded on the Paris metro 27:46 – Going to the Australian Embassy 36:48 – Going viral, and the wave of messages from other survivors 38:43 – Britt's own close call in Colombia Follow Djanaya on Instagram: @dijonnai___ You can watch our episode with Lurata Lyon here Keep your questions coming!

    Ask Uncut - My Boyfriend's Brothel Past, My Mum's Young Boyfriend and He Won't Take No For An Address

    Hey Lifers! Welcome back to Ask Uncut, where we answer your deepest, darkest and most burning questions! Big news this week: Britt's husband Ben has flown in for a surprise visit (no return flight booked!) so she's on cloud nine. The girls also dive into their Traders Australia obsession before getting stuck into your questions. Vibes of the week:Laura - The Traitors Australia (Channel 10 / 10 Play)  Britt - Life Changing - The Jesy Nelson Story on Amazon Prime Then it's into your questions! Q1. MY BOYFRIEND HAS A BROTHEL IN HIS PAST My boyfriend has been to a brothel in the past, and it makes me think differently of him. I have been with my partner for about a month officially, and we were seeing each other for a couple of months before that. The other night we were laying in bed when his friend made a joke that he was going to the brothel again. I asked, 'Have you ever been to a brothel?' thinking the answer would definitely be no. It turns out he went to a brothel two years ago and paid for sex when he was single. He says he regrets it significantly and would never do it again. I feel disgusted even thinking that he would have gone, and I don't know if I can get past this. Should this be something I am allowed to care about and potentially end the relationship over? Q2. MY MUM HAS A ‘TOYBOY’ I'm 35 and I have four younger siblings, three sisters, and my youngest brother is 24. Recently my mum, who is 55, told us she has a new partner who is 28. I'm really struggling with it. If I'm honest, I can't help but feel uncomfortable. She keeps telling us that he just treats her so well and age is just a number, but she's almost twice his age and it just doesn't sit right with me. I genuinely want to be happy for her if she's happy, but I'm just finding it difficult to get past the age gap, especially knowing that he's younger than me and all my sisters, and only four years older than my brother. I'd really appreciate hearing other people's perspectives. Has anyone been in a similar situation? Did your feelings change over time? I am not looking to judge her. I just want to understand why I am finding it so hard to accept this. Q3. WON’T TAKE NO FOR AN ADDRESS Am I wrong to find this a red flag, or is this me looking for perfection in a person? I went on a first date with a guy, and I asked him to just drop me near my home, as I don't give out my exact address until I know someone well, which I told him directly. The very next day, he texted me that he wants to drop by my house with a gift. His exact words were: 'I'll get some chocolates, drop them by your house and say hi, then leave.' In my opinion, I feel as though this is a clear indication that my boundaries are not being respected. What do you all think? Am I overreacting? Q4. HE'S JUST...NOT FUNNY I love my partner. He's the best. He's smart, he's handsome, he's kind. He does the housework and we have similar values. But he's just not funny. It's often frustrating having to explain my jokes to him. Help . What does this mean? Are we really soulmates if I don't find him funny? TIMESTAMPS 0:00 — Intro  2:12 — Vibes of the week 14:08 — Q1: My boyfriend went to a brothel before we met 22:17 — Q2: My mum is dating a guy younger than me 31:01 — Q3: Is the chocolate delivery text a red flag? 42:02 — Q4: He's perfect but he's just not funny 46:49 — Outro Keep your questions coming!

    7 Rounds Of IVF, One Facebook Post & Our Discussion Group's First Baby. Uncut with Deb

    Today’s episode is such a special one. You would often hear us banging on about how good the community of our life uncut discussion group is, but the story that you’re about to hear might not only make your week but also be the best example of that community we could ever imagine.  Deb has been a part of our discussion group since 2022. Back in December 2023, one of our lifers, Deb, posted in the discussion group: she was 35, single, and had just found out her egg count was below the low range. After seven rounds of IVF and still empty handed, she was asking if anyone would consider donating eggs or embryos to help her become a mum. The post got 375 likes and an outpouring of women offering to help. Today we're sitting down with Deb and her eight-month-old daughter Poppy, who exists because of an embryo donation from another lifer. We talk about the shock of her AMH results, the toll of seven rounds of IVF, finding the "Single Mums By Choice" community, why she chose the Life Uncut discussion group over dedicated donor sites, what it was like juggling multiple potential donors, meeting Poppy's donor family for the first time, and how she plans to talk to Poppy about where she came from. It's a full-circle story about generosity, community and one incredible, hard-won miracle.

    Britt’s Ghost Is Back & Perez Hilton The Dark Side of Going Live

    Hey Lifers!  We kick off with a deep and extremely necessary debate about jean-washing frequency (there is a day, and you know the day), plus Britt's new favourite purchase that solves the dreaded camel toe problem. Then Britt drags Laura back into ghost territory with fresh evidence her house is haunted, courtesy of her very unsettled dog, Delilah. From there we get into the new rom-com everyone's talking about: a woman builds herself the perfect husband out of rattan, and the internet cannot get enough. It's got us talking about the viral dating trend taking over TikTok, male yearning, and why women are so drawn to men who wear their feelings on their sleeve.  Then we shift into a much heavier conversation. We unpack what happened with Perez Hilton's TikTok live stream, and the bigger questions it raises about live broadcasting, consent, morbid curiosity, and our collective responsibility as viewers when something like this unfolds in real time. Please note: this section includes discussion of self-harm, so skip ahead if you need to. If you or someone you know needs support, Lifeline is available 24/7 on 13 11 14. TIMESTAMPS 00:00 – Intro & how often should you wash your jeans 04:50 – Britt's haunted house update: Delilah and the dining table ghost 12:20 – Wicker: the new rom-com about a woman who builds her own husband 20:30 – Male yearning: the dating trend taking over TikTok 35:00 – ⚠️ Trigger warning: Perez Hilton's TikTok live stream 44:00 – Morbid curiosity, "car crash" psychology & why we can't look away 54:40 – Suck and Sweet   Keep your questions coming!
