November Conch
This column first appeared in The Sunday Times on 30th October 2016. Paige Nick writes an open letter to a 74-year-old who had a threesome with two 20-somethings Dear Colin, Let’s pretend it’s just you and me chatting here, and the rest of Sunday Morning South Africa isn’t watching. Thanks for your letter in response…
Crazy letters to a sex writer – ‘Hate Mail’
Not all the letters I receive from my Sunday Times column are all that complimentary. Rod is a regular writer (just got a fresh mail the other day) who is never happy, and always concerned. He also regularly vows to never read me again, with lots of exclamation marks. The funniest thing is that when…
Watersports anyone?
Okay, seriously, I get the craziest letters. This came in this evening on my gmail account, from Florida. What’s this guy trying to say? Is this a watersports vibe? I expect this from the sex column, but this is just about one of my regular novels. Hi Paige, I was just reading a Google excerpt from…

Dear Paige, I sort of half scan your column each week as I head towards the soduku and crosswords and normally just shake my head and move…

Someone's not laughing
I’ve mentioned here before what great letters I get from my column every week. Here’s one in response to Sunday’s column on jokes: Hi Nick As I am reading your column on this Heritage Day, I am not on speaking terms with my partner. She went last week back home to Durban to attend her…
Speaking of deal-breakers…
Join me for the next couple of days as we explore some other people’s deal-breakers. After Sunday’s column on ‘deal-breakers‘ I got a ton of marvelous mails from people outlining what they will and will not stand for. Some broke my heart, and some broke my funny bone. I loved them so much, I thought…
A not so subtle hint!
If you’ve already read my column from yesterday’s Sunday Times, look at this, it’s worth a laugh. (If you haven’t, you can either check it out in the post below, and if you’re too lazy and don’t feel like reading all of that, here are the crib notes: It’s about how I keep seeing girls…
