How Simone Got Her Groove Back

April 15, 2012

Between The Banker, the creepy single Dads that hit on me in Walmart and these dudes, it seems like all you ever get to read about on Skinny Dip is men behaving badly. I think it’s high time I told you a good story about dating (one that doesn’t end with me having to change my phone number). So here it is: While I was in Toronto, I [...]

Vive La Revolution

February 18, 2012

Some of the best conversations I’ve ever had have occurred between my Mom and I while we sit at our kitchen table. We have a nice living room but we really only use it for watching TV. The kitchen table is where everything goes down in our house. It’s where we show our love through food, have our morning coffee, talk about [...]

Don’t Waste the Pretty

February 3, 2012

Once upon a time I had “game”. When I was in my twenties I dated a whole string of unsuitable dudes. I had my feelings hurt, my heart crushed, learned a lot about myself and grew stronger as a result. Eventually I got to the point where I stopped accepting negative treatment from the people I dated. I became more confident, I [...]

Hope Dies Last Giveaway

January 30, 2012

After the big break-up in the fall and some minor romantic set-backs in January, I’m finally starting to embrace my singleness. I haven’t been truly single in close to 7 years and even before that I was always dating some guy or another. Right now I’m working on getting to know myself better and trying to figure out what being single means [...]

Break it Off with Smoking. So I Don’t Have to Break it Off with You.

January 27, 2012

This post is sponsored by Break it Off  — a Canadian Cancer Society campaign designed to help young Canadians end their relationship with smoking for good. Today I’m going to talk about something I am passionate about: quitting smoking. “But Simone, I thought this blog was supposed to be about sex, dating, relationships and your obsession with shoes & overpriced hand bags?!” Smoking and [...]

Fuck Broken Hearts. I’m Going to Vegas.

January 18, 2012

Following the big break-up this fall, my romantic interactions with the opposite sex have not proven to be successful. This post is just a small fraction of the whole story. There’s lots more. Too much to share on the blog at this point. I prefer to air my dirty laundry only once it has been hung out to dry for a long time [...]

Here’s to a Wetter & Better 2012

January 9, 2012

Thank you to Astroglide and Single Edition for sponsoring this post. All opinions are my own. My view on lube has changed over the years. When I was younger and having a lot of awkward sex, I’d often reach for the lube to help make the process smoother ie. when the guy was larger than normal, I wasn’t turned on enough* or [...]

How to Survive a Breakup, Big Girl Style.

December 6, 2011

The strangest part about being someone who regularly writes about relationships is that people actually assume you know stuff about relationships. (Really, it’s like the blind leading the blind here. I thought that was painfully obvious?) So, when someone asked me this summer “What are your tips for getting over a bad breakup?” I actually had to think about it. I tried [...]

Life is like a Rolling Stones song

November 16, 2011

A few weeks ago, when everything started to change in my life, I came to a few startling revelations: 1) All of the buttons were popping off all of my winter coats. Everything needs dry-cleaning. I didn’t even have a normal coat to wear to drop off the messed up coats. I wore two sweaters instead. 2) Almost every pair of my [...]

Symphony for One: The Siena Symphony G-Spot Vibrator

November 10, 2011

In high-school I had this one girlfriend who was a year older and quite a bit more sexually experienced than I was. Although I had just started sleeping with my first boyfriend, at the time I was still pretty clueless about sex. One day while we were walking home from school she started to tell me about her new boyfriend: “His penis [...]
