Good Stuff Happens in 1:1 Meetings: Why you need them and how to do them well
What is dogging
1. What is Dogging?
Dogging is a euphemism for engaging in
sexual acts in a public or semi-public
place or watching others doing so.
2. Why is it called dogging
The term "dogging" comes from the phrase "I am taking the
dog for a walk", a term used in British popular culture to
mean a number of things, but mainly "I am sneaking off
down the pub. So the phrase has evolved from I am off for a
quick pint to I am off for a quick shag.
3. What kind of people go dogging?
Unsurprisingly, it is couples who are exhibitionists and
are very comfortable with their sexuality. Observers
tend to be usually single men. Doggers come from all
walks of life, and most lead quite average lives apart
from their occasional "hobby".
4. I don't have a car. Can I still go
dogging?
As long as a dogging location is within
walking distance or is accessible by
public transport, it is possible. Expect
some odd looks if you come by taxi.
5. Is dogging dangerous?
There are risks involved in dogging. Any time that you are going to
a secluded spot, dealing with strangers, and putting yourself in a
compromising position, you are making yourself somewhat
vulnerable. Usually everyone is looking for a good time, but crimes
can happen, so be cautious and be aware of your surroundings.
6. How widespread is dogging?
Public sex happens in most Western countries in one
form or another, to varying degrees, and it is fair to say
dogging has really flourished in the United Kingdom.
Speak to anyone in the UK and they will know it goes
on. There are signs it is spreading to Canada, Australia,
Canada and the USA.
