swinging scene. Some couples just like to put on a show to spice
things up in their own sex lives.

In the UK, there are laws against public sex but they mostly are
concerned with protecting "unwilling witnesses" from
seeing acts of lewdness. We're not sure how this would be applied to
sex in front of willing witnesses. However, if there is a complaint,
you may be prosecuted. And in some areas the local police have been
stepping up patrols to discourage activity at notorious dogging
hangouts. See

IS
DOGGING DANGEROUS?
There are a number of risks involved in dogging. Anytime you're
dealing with people you meet online, going to a secluded spot, and
putting yourself in a compromising position, you are making yourself
somewhat vulnerable. Usually everyone is just looking for a good
time, but crimes can happen, so always be cautious and be aware of
your surroundings.Another risk of dogging now becoming evident is
that of contracting sexually transmitted diseases. Be safe when
playing with strangers. Use condoms, gloves, and appropriate
contraception.
WHAT
SHOULD I TAKE ALONG WHEN I GO DOGGING?
Depending on the time of year, possibly warm clothing! Also
condoms, disposable gloves, wet wipes and deodorant.
HOW
DO I TALK MY PARTNER INTO TRYING DOGGING?
Obviously dogging is a consensual activity, but it's not going to be
everyone's cup of tea. Try broaching the subject of dogging and see
how he or she responds to the idea. If they seem receptive, talk
about how a dogging scenario could play out and see if they get
turned on. If you decide to go for it, make the arrangements
together. Always talk about things at every stage of your
experiences. Don't take them out "for a drive" and
spring it on them. Never trick or coerce someone into a scene.
I
TRIED GOING TO A DOGGING SPOT AND NOTHING WAS GOING ON THERE. WHAT
HAPPENED?
If you just showed up at a reported dogging area, maybe you just hit
a quiet spell. Sometimes you have to hang out and give it some time.
Also, spots may change in popularity, and if there are problems at
one, people may move on.
I
WENT TO A DOGGING SPOT AND IT WAS CLOSED OFF. WHY?
If you went to a nature area or car park and found it fenced off,
it's likely a response to too much activity in that area,
causing complaints about noise, traffic, trash and general
naughtiness. More businesses and government agencies are becoming
aware of dogging are beginning to take action to discourage it.
However, the doggers find a new spot and get back to business.
