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!!!

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!

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.

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

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

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

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

Pork!

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??

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!

The saddle could come in handy for bending over
