A lot of adults are curious about adult sex lifestyles like swinging and dogging but they don’t know exactly what it entails.

So first things first, what is dogging? Dogging is a broad term that describes all the sexual outdoor activities that adults participate in. This can be anything from having anonymous recreational sex in secluded car parks, to exhibitionists putting on a show on a picnic table in the open air.
The name originates from the phrase “walking the dog”. In the late 80’s a lot of couples where having sex in their cars during the night around woodland areas and they where spied on by single guys. When the police officers and rangers that patrolled the area asked them what they were doing there the guys pretended that they were walking their dogs. As this concept of being watched while having sex evolved the single guys where soon asked to join in on the fun and the audiences grew. Now you can get from 5 to 15 people watching a couple having outdoor sex
UK dogging is predominately something British couples and singles enjoy and this activity also involves exhibitionism and voyeurism. The voyeurs are mainly men and the exhibitionists are mainly couples or women who love to attract attention and often invite people to join in.

DOGGING POSITIONS
IN THE CAR
Classic
Front seat, passenger side, him on top with feet on floorboards, her feet on the dashboard. Recline the seat as far as possible.Straddle
Him in the passenger seat, her on top astride.
Backseat Mambo
Missionary across the backseat. Depending on the size of the car the woman may have to spread her legs to the sides and rest on on the floorboards. The man may have to put one leg on the floorboard or put his feet out the open window or door.
Back to Front
The woman gets astride the front seats and backs her bum and presses in into the space between the seats. She can brace herself against the seats or the dash. The man is in the back seat and fucks her doggy style.
Up and At ‘Em
Woman lays across the back seat with the man on top between her legs. She plants her feet high and wide across the interior wall of the car. He kneels between her legs and pulls her pelvis up toward his. The female can use her legs to pump her pelvis in this position. Alternately, if there is room, she can hook her legs over his shoulders.
Reverse Buckaroo
The man sits in the middle of the backseat with his legs spread. The woman gets on his lap facing the front of the car, leaning forward between the front seats, and rides his cock. The woman can grasp the front seats to get leverage in this position. The man can also sit with his legs straight out between the front seats with the woman straddling his lap, although this is more awkward.

Over the Top
For when you really want to put on a show. The woman climbs up on top of the hood on all fours, with her rear facing the front of the car. She leans on the roof of the car to support her upper body. The man kneels on the hood behind her and fucks her doggy style. Take care not to break the windscreen.
POSITIONS FOR ORAL

Dogging and The Law
There is a lot of misunderstanding and ignorance about dogging and the law, which we will try and address here, in the UK context. It is important that you know your rights, and know the legal position in respect of dogging.
Two key things for starters:- (1) The legislation that relates to dogging is the Sexual Offences Act 2003, hereafter referred to as SOA and (2) Dogging is not specifically defined as a sexual offence within the law.
Section 66 of the SOA looks at the offence of exposure whilst Section 67 deals with voyeurism and Section 68 defines voyeurism.
Section 66 of the SOA states that exposure of the genitals with the intent to cause alarm or distress to the person exposed is against the law. If an individual “intentionally exposes his genitals and he intends that someone will see them AND be caused alarm or distress” he is committing an offence. Plain and simple. It can clearly be argued that people out dogging and exposing themselves in the act of dogging are not out to cause alarm or distress, and are thus NOT committing an offence. If they expose themselves to the general public, well that’s a different story.
Section 67 of the SOA states that voyeurism is a sexual offence under four separate conditions.
- A person commits an offence if :-
- (1) for the purpose of obtaining sexual gratification, he observes another person doing a private act, and he knows that the other person does not consent to being observed for his sexual gratification.
- (2) he operates equipment with the intention of enabling another person to observe, for the purpose of obtaining sexual gratification, a third party doing a private act, and he knows that the third party does not consent to his operating equipment with that intention.
- (3) he records another person doing a private act, he does so with the intention that he or a third person will, for the purpose of obtaining sexual gratification, look at an image of that person doing the act, and he knows that person does not consent to his recording the act with that intention.
- (4) he instals equipment, or constructs or adapts a structure or part of a structure, with the intention of enabling himself or another person to commit an offence under subsection (1)
In essence this law is stating that it is a crime to watch any person engaging in a sexual act for the purpose of obtaining your own sexual gratification, knowing that the other person does not consent to such observation for your sexual gratification. If the person has consented to you watching and is fully aware that you are watching for your sexual gratification it is not a crime.
So, Section 67(3) of the SOA states that if you were to record another person during a private act, and you are doing so with the intent that you or another person will obtain sexual gratification from the recording and the person has not consented to the recording, you are also committing an offence. If they have consented then it is not a crime. Thus, if you are going to take pictures or record dogging activities on your phone or camera, it is best to make all persons aware that you are doing so and make sure that they consent to it. This is not normally a problem, but it is best to know where you stand legally.
Section 68 of the SOA interprets voyeurism as follows: If a person is doing a private act if the person is in a place (which includes a tent, vehicle or vessel or other temporary or movable structure) which, in the circumstances, would reasonably be expected to provide privacy, and the person’s genitals, buttocks or breasts are exposed or covered only with underwear, the person is using a lavatory, or the person is doing a sexual act that is not of a kind ordinarily done in public.
So that’s the law, in the UK. Other countries will of course have different laws. Responsible doggers exercising common sense should not fall foul of the SOA.
Also bear in mind that a person can also be charged if they use words, behaviour or display to cause another person harassment, alarm or distress under sections four and five of the Public Order Act 1986. This offence only applies if there is intent to cause alarm, and this legislation is very unlikely to be used in this context.
One other thing to consider is the common law offence of “outraging public decency”. The law comprises “statutory law” – enacted by Parliament – and “common law” which is composed largely of precedents decided by judges in court. “Outraging public decency” is a subjective concept and generally refers to pretty outrageous lewd behaviour, for example stripping naked on a public bus and then urinating on the seats, or doing that two cups thing in public. Dogging does not fall into the category of “outraging public decency” and we cannot find any record of a court finding a dogger guilty of the charge of “outraging public decency”. However, the phrase may get quoted by locals objecting to dogging in their area, sometimes the same locals who thought nothing of having fun down Lovers Lane when they were younger. Clearly outraging public decency is not what dogging is all about but do bear in mind the law is set up to protect people from wierdos exposing themselves in public.Depending on the type of conviction, if you are found guilty of the above sexual offences you can be fined or imprisoned for up to two years, so it is worth knowing the law and more importantly that you abide by the law.
Where do the Police fit into all this? Whilst they have a duty to protect the public from indecent exposure, they have no business interfering with people involved in consensual sexual activity.
Your average police officer cannot be expected to know the law in detail. The average copper wants an easy life, and does not want to make arrests which are later quashed. On the rare ocassions they visit dogging spots, they are going either as a result of local police force policy, in response to a complaint, or out of human curiosity. They are reasonable people with a job to do and will normally act reasonably and may ask the doggers to move along. If they are going to arrest anyone, they of course need to have a reason to make an arrest, and may well state offences against Section 66 of the SOA as the reason. Remember, if you are involved in consensual activity, there is no offence. In the unlikely event that you are arrested, write down everything the arresting officer says (or record it to a phone answering machine if easier) – as this will help you later.
