A 30-year-old woman from North London, identified as Elodie, has shared her week-long sex diary in Metro's 'How I Do It' series. After a rough year of dating, she decided to embrace a 'sexy single summer' with a bucket list of sexual experiences, guided by a mysterious 'daddy dom' she met at a singles event.
Monday: A Rough Start
The week began with an argument with a man she had been dating for less than a month, stemming from a miscommunication about their lack of communication. The argument left her feeling frustrated, and when her last voice note went unanswered, she assumed the relationship was over. 'I’m not really upset, I just feel let down once again by the men on the dating scene,' she said. To shake things up, she bought a ticket to a singles event hosted by a friend later in the week, hoping to meet new people outside of dating apps like Hinge. After work, she attended yoga to calm her nerves, followed by an impromptu pub trip.
Tuesday: Discovering 'Sexy Single Summer'
After a morning blood test, Elodie spent much of the day complaining about the dating scene. A male friend encouraged her to enjoy being single while they ran a 5k at lunch. Later, scrolling Instagram, she discovered the 'sexy single summer' movement, which inspired her to dedicate summer 2026 to herself. That evening, she switched from Hinge to Pure, an anonymous sexting app, where she connected with James. They shared similar interests, including a threesome with two men. After exchanging nudes and using her Smile Makers Tennis Pro G-spot vibrator, they discussed the possibility of a threesome. 'I tell him I’d like to be watched, but also love the idea of both men all over me at the same time,' she said.
Wednesday: Threesome Plans Take Shape
Elodie and James continued their conversation, and the threesome idea began to feel real. She reached out to her ex, Toby, with whom she had hooked up on and off for eight years. 'He’s still one of the best sexual experiences I’ve ever had, always set on maximising my pleasure,' she said. Toby immediately agreed to join. Elodie admitted she had previously found the idea of two men overwhelming due to 'too much masculine energy,' but both James and Toby made her feel comfortable, making her eager to pursue it.
Thursday: Meeting the 'Daddy Dom' Mentor
At the singles dinner party, Elodie overheard a man talking about threesomes and approached him. The man, a self-described 'daddy dom,' shared stories of women pursuing threesomes and offered to be her 'spiritual guide' for the summer. They created a sexual summer bucket list including a sex party, different threesomes, and voyeurism, along with rules and boundaries. Her rules focused on her being in control, avoiding mundanity and work chat. The vetting process included effective communication, knowing boundaries, and a no-expectations drink before any encounter. 'As I head home, all I can think is it’s been a fun evening of good food and drinking tequila with my friends in the heat,' she said.
Friday: Revamping Profiles and New Connections
While working from home, Elodie debriefed with her housemate, who was encouraged by the mentor to attend a sex party. Intrigued by the idea of watching others, Elodie revamped her Feeld profile and connected with Gabriel, who lived 15 minutes away. He shared her summer goals and mentioned an interest in butt-play. Although the conversation could have turned to sexting, she opted for an early night to avoid getting carried away.
Saturday: Family Time and Threesome Logistics
Elodie visited her family home for the weekend but remained focused on her 'sexy single summer.' James messaged to confirm the threesome and requested more photos. She sent selfies and shared a picture of Toby, revealing their past relationship. James did not respond after that, raising concerns he might be put off. Meanwhile, Toby offered to host the threesome at his place, as he lived alone, making the fantasy feel closer to reality.
Sunday: Sexting and Butt Plugs
Gabriel and Elodie engaged in a serious sexting session while she was on the train back to London. She mentioned she had always wanted a butt plug but never owned one, and he ordered one for her immediately. Later at home, she used her favorite purple vibrator, but two toys ran out of battery and a third made weird noises. Despite the temptation to invite Gabriel over for a quickie, she stuck to her boundaries and arranged a drink for the following week. 'Instead I organise a drink with him next week, and he makes me orgasm through the power of his messages instead,' she said.
