As quoted on Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dogging is a British English slang term for engaging in sexual acts in a public or semi-public place and watching others doing so.^[1] There may be more than two participants; both group sex and gang banging can be included. As observation is encouraged, voyeurism and exhibitionism are closely associated with dogging. The two sets of people involved often meet either randomly or (increasingly) arrange to meet up beforehand over the internet using well known and established websites such as doggingafterdark.com.

In September 2003 BBC News^[3] reported on the “new” dogging craze. They cited the Internet and text messaging as common ways of organising meetings. The original definition of dogging—and which is still a closely related activity—is spying on couples having sex in a car or other public place,^[4] and the term had been in use on Britain’s railways for many years. It would have been well-known at least as far back as 1951.^[5]

Dogging AfterDark has been on the internet since 1999, making it possibly the largest dogging website available today, with photos, videos, forums, reviews, maps and directions and also UK swingers, so it really is the complete website.

After Dark Swingers and Dogging was created and born in October 1999, and over the last 20 years has changed and evolved dramatically since the very first website names South West After Dark.

It is common knowledge that swinging has been hugely popular in the UK for a very long time and After Dark is one of the oldest and most established remaining websites on the internet today, but it is not just one website but a collection of 12 interlinked websites, which makes it very popular for members joining as they get access to all the websites in the After Dark Network.

From small beginnings of just one single website that was centred around Swinging in the South west, they now offer a comprehensive collection of websites for Swinging, Dogging and amateur photos and videos kind of resembling a members only “Readers wives” website. And the dogging website offers a huge full comprehensive list and database of locations throughout the whole of the UK, which is updated weekly and combined with detailed maps, directions and member reviews, photos and videos.

The “meet tonight” advert section as well as many other advert and post sections, offers members the ability to pre arrange meets at known locations as well as attending local swingers parties and social events. The social events can be huge advantage as it gives members a chance to break the ice by meeting in a local pub for a social only event, which is very relaxed and informal with no pressure or the expectation of participating in any form of sexual contact.

But what is dogging – and what are the rules around this activity?

Here’s all you need to know.

Where did the term ‘dogging’ come from?

The term means to have or observe exhibitionist sex in a public or semi-public place; usually outside in secluded country car parks and beauty spots, where other people will watch and sometimes join in if invited to do so.

Dogging has always meant ‘watching’ or ‘following’ and some people suggest it’s also used as having sex outside is similar to how dogs might have sex. Another theory is that taking the dog for a walk was a suitable cover story for participants.

The etiquette of dogging: 14 rules

1. You have to wear a condom, to prevent any STDs or unwanted pregnancies. It’s even advised to take a box to share around with fellow doggers.

2. Do not ‘dog’ in front of children or unsuspecting passers-by. This is actually illegal.

3. Refrain from disturbing the peace or attracting attention.

4. Anonymity is the key. No one should reveal the identity of other doggers and you should create a dogging name to protect your identity, especially if using online dogging websites such as dogging afterdark.

5. Do not destroy public property or trespass on private property.

6. All condoms and rubbish should be collected and discarded of in a bin.

7. Legal driving and parking should always be practised.

8. Agree a signal or safe word in case one of you wants to stop.

9. It is not generally accepted for a female to turn up to a dogging location alone. It is advised that she takes a man she trusts with her to protect her interests, although again there are several single female members on dogging afterdark whom participate in single dogging.

10. Steer clear of areas known for prostitution and drug dealing.

11. If watching, you should not touch unless verbally invited to do so.

12. If you’re happy for people to watch flash your interior light. If you want the watchers to come closer or join in then open your window or unlock the doors.

13. Don’t leave on headlights when arrived at the scene.

14. When finished, drive around for a bit or stop for food or fuel to make sure you’re not being followed.

What is dogging?

Dogging is a term used to describe when people have sex in public and sometimes in view of others or allowing others to join in with them.

It’s thought the phrase came about after dog walkers started to participate in “sexual” fun whilst dog walking. Usually dogging takes place in wooded areas or in country car parks and it can even involve total complete strangers either watching or getting involved sexually.

To some the thought of having sex in a public place like a car park in a country park or country lane, or someplace dark and secluded whilst other people watch or join in., Would be the ultimate turn off, but to others it sounds like the perfect idea of exciting sexual fun.

Dogging itself is technically not illegal but that does not mean you can commit acts in public and expect to get away with it.

You could be charged under the Sexual Offences Act 2003 for indecent exposure, public lewdness and gross indecency among a whole load of other things, unless everyone present is there for the same thing and no passers-by witness this public display.

Participants often meet and share information online, and several websites contain lists of popular dogging locations across the whole of the UK and you will find links to these to the right.

The websites are constantly updating their lists of local hot-spots, dogging after dark in particular will update on a weekly basis with reports and news on newly found dogging spots and updates on any that have closed or been shut down with barriers or police presence.
