Radio 1, 11.15 this evening Dogging

I have just heard a clip of a programme on Radio 1 tonight. It is an undercover look at how popular dogging is. I'm not having a laugh here, it was quite disturbing. Apparently it is a national phenomenon. It sounds very dangerous and i hope it doesn't take off in the carpark opposite me. I will be listening and didn't even know it was a common passtime.

Sorry - feeling a bit of a dunce, but what is dogging?

Janh · 19/04/2004 18:03

You missed Stan Collymore's little venture then, FF?

Hula, it's people in carparks watching other people having it off in cars. Or out of them. Very dodgy.

Hulababy · 19/04/2004 18:05

Mmm, okay!!! Feel enlightened now. Will think twice about the car parks round here again then - youk! I overlook a car park Hope the programme doesn't give any of the locals any ideas!!!

Janh · 19/04/2004 18:07

I believe it mostly happens in country car parks...not that I'm an expert or anything. But the Stan C one was at Cannock Chase. So you should be safe!

There is a well known dogging site about 10 miles from us, just off Junc 10 on the M25. I can't drive by it now without thinking about it. I found out by reading an interview a couple gave in a mag or rag, and they said it was where they went. To think I took ds2 there in the day for a snack at the cafe!

BadHair · 19/04/2004 18:07

There's loads of places near where I live that are meant to be popular dogging spots. Keep meaning to pop out and have a look to see who's there, but I guess that might make me a dogger too. Urrrgh.
When you see dogging stories in the papers they always seem to involve fairly attractive women and butt ugly men with ford escorts.

fairyfly · 19/04/2004 18:07

Or just going to these public places to have a monkey dance with a stranger.
In the clip they said there was a man walking around in his boxers and vest urrgghhh.
I didn't miss Stan no, just thought it was a bit of football lunacy.

Obviously I had to google this to see what it was all about and found a site which lists popular dogging sites. Only one in my area apparently and not somewhere I frequent regularly!

SoupDragon · 19/04/2004 18:10

And now I have to clear my internet history etc before DH gets home

fairyfly · 19/04/2004 18:13

Pmsl a lot, that is a fantastic thing to find in someones history, i'm hysterical

fairyfly · 19/04/2004 18:14

What exactly did you type in, local dogging hotspots

OP posts:

SoupDragon · 19/04/2004 18:15

Especially as I'm not, um, "adventurous" in that respect It was on a swingers website too which would just be the icing on the cake... LOL

fairyfly · 19/04/2004 18:16

wee

OP posts:

SoupDragon · 19/04/2004 18:16

Just "dogging" actually. You want to know what local spots you've got don't you?!

fairyfly · 19/04/2004 18:20

I've just checked, spoilt for choice to be honest

OP posts:

SoupDragon · 19/04/2004 18:21

Pork!

Freckle · 19/04/2004 18:22

There's a layby near here where people go and invite complete strangers to do fairly awful things to them, sexually. One chap stripped naked, blindfolded himself and had a sign hung round his neck with an invitation to something unmentionable. This, apparently, is not uncommon. Caused a huge ruckus in the papers and the police have had to close the laybe. Makes you wonder what sad lives some people live.

bottersnike · 19/04/2004 18:24

Just looked at the site and there's a location near my parents' house - should I warn them??

fairyfly · 19/04/2004 18:25

Yes well thats how this documentary sounded a bit frightening, it is odd apparently you arrange meet ups with strangers in chatrooms.
I think i went to the same site Soupy, its unreal, the places are lovely too, just woodland and national parks.
Shame i can't drive

I used to work for a large insurance company and apparently the chief execs chauffeur was once discovered in the company limo up at the local "popular dogging site". I always thought it was mainly a gay pick up place though.

SoupDragon · 19/04/2004 18:27

Couldn't you get a taxi, FF?

lou33 · 19/04/2004 18:28

You are developing an unhealthy interest now FF, step away from the dogging sites!

In a limo?

OP posts:

fairyfly · 19/04/2004 18:32

I wonder if it works if you cycle in

The saddle could come in handy for bending over
