I wasn't aware that there was an identifier for those who enjoy this sport. Grin

A friend told me the tale of admiring a colleague's unusual necklace to the hilarity of other colleagues who later explained what it signified in hushed, but giggly tones. Grin

I then couldn't follow up the conversation, and have decided to see what the minds of MN know about this......................

I'm disappointed. The only things that come up on google are some girl's blog, this thread, and another site I think I'll avoid (title is something like 'midget Michael Jackson')

Poo.

surely if you want to be identified as a jogger dogger you'd simply hang fluffy
dice something identifiable in your car? seeing as that's where most of the action cuddling takes place ConfusedGrin

I had no idea.
I keep a real chameleon and sometimes wear little cham brooch or earrings. I even have a tshirt. Blush
Worse still, it explains why the couple who work in one particular shop are so friendly after I asked them if they kept chameleons too as they also wore little chameleon brooches...

This sort of thing really annoys me - why on earth should be people feeling all Blush and naive that they didn't know this existed? I'm perfectly happy not to know that something is a swinger's necklace for heaven's sake. It's a horrible grubby pastime and to think of people smirking to themselves about others not knowing that they're advertising their dodgy sexual habits to the world is kind of repellent. You know what, if you're a swinger and you advertise it, you're not cool and liberated, you're rather pathetic. Do what you want but nobody else gives a damn about your sex life.

I know this makes me uptight and unevolved or whatever, but honestly. Is there nothing that can't be merchandised/cashed-in on?

I thought it was your lace curtained monza caravan, bifocal lenses and tan slacks that usually gave you away as a swinger....

victoriascrumptious - I hope you got them chameleons on pink branches, to double the chances of them being propositioned!

I've heard of a razor blade pendant being the sign of swingers, India knight mentions it in her book The Shops.

It used to be pampas grass in the garden. In the 70s, apparently. Unfortunate for anyone who happened to move into a house with pampas grass in the garden and didn't grub it up... Grin

GentleOtter - may be an idea to have some photos on your mobile/ camera of your real chameleon, so you can show the friendly couple your chameleon and let them stop thinking of you in that way !!

Agree with network guy - but for goodness sake don't ask them round to pet him or have a look in the cage.

Santas - if the monzas rocking let the guests come a knocking' is it parked on the drive behind a large clump of pampass grass?


Bet you'l l never look at them in the same way now....

Could someone explain to me what dogging is, as Russell Howard goes on about it but I am a bit naive?

Report
Binfullofgibletsonthe45 · 27/12/2010 12:14

Boffin it is basically where there are pre arranged places where people turn up in their car and proceed to have intercourse either in their car or the nearest picnic table while a bunch of voyueristic old knuckle shufflers who pretend to their wives that they have taken the Jack Russell out stand around knocking one out over the windscreen, wife or picnic bench.

NetworkGuy- You have a good point there except I'm going to take to keeping wolves or something. And avoiding their shop.

coastgirl- I agree with each to their own if that is what people are into but am not so keen when an image is used almost exclusively by swingers/doggers and non swingers/doggers have no earthly clue that they are inadvertently advertising "I might be up for it" by wearing a cham brooch.
How the hell do you find these things out anywa apart from on threads like this?

Mrs Goggins at the Post Office is hardly likely to mention it and she is the source of All Knowledge.
