Looking for dogging advice? Help spotting dogging contacts? Or just clueless about what to do at UK outdoor locations? In that case, read on.

One thing's for certain: the UK dogging scene is extremely active, with thousands of couples out at locations, and despite the police and local authorities doing their best to stop us, they're failing. GREAT ;o) What has changed is the way people find out about sites and get advice: now it's all about forums, chatrooms and private message boards.

Lots of people turn to the message boards for advice on anything from what to take along to how to approach dogging couples, so I wanted to post a guide that non-members can read too. Hopefully it helps if you're new to dogging, and of course you can always join us ;o) Below are some members' photos, along with free access to all local contacts.

Dogging advice: tips from couples

These dogging tips and this guide were written by couples who enjoy the UK scene. Some may overlap a little, as I've copied them straight from the message boards.

Before you go

  • Check the site in daylight. If you've arranged online to meet a dogging contact, it's a good idea to head out during the day and check the place out first. It may sound a bit clinical, but at least you'll know what you're walking into and what to expect. And don't forget, things look a hell of a lot different at night.
  • Know your limits. Make sure the people you're meeting know your limits and what you're hoping for, then stick to them. Do as much as you feel comfortable with: if you want to try more later, you can always go back. If you're dogging as a couple, agree a signal to tell your partner you've had enough and want to head home.
  • Plan your meet. Dogging and swinging sites mean people can post locations and arrange to meet in advance, which is by far the better way to meet: you can swap details such as your car and even photos, which avoids a lot of embarrassment if you approach the wrong car. By talking online, you can also meet at smaller, less publicised locations. You'll probably get fewer voyeurs, but there's less chance of the police turning up.
  • Know your location. Think about where you're going to park, how well you know the site and where the best lookout is to see anyone approaching. A dummy run is always a good idea.

What to take

Like all good Girl Guides and Boy Scouts: be prepared! For dogging, you'll need:

  • condoms (don't go bareback dogging, that's CRAZY)
  • wet wipes: trust me, you'll be glad you had something to wipe "something" on
  • bags to take your rubbish home: no one likes to see used condoms everywhere, and it's what draws the attention of the police and councils when complaints come in
  • a charged mobile
  • a drink: it can get thirsty, especially in the summer

At the location

  • Be ready to wait. If you're not going to an arranged meet, be prepared to wait around for a while, although it's been a long time since I've headed out without knowing someone's waiting to meet. If you're going to an "advertised" location, you can be pretty sure others will be around, mostly men. At a quieter location, be ready to wait for long periods. I find taking some music helps, or logging into this site on my mobile to see if anyone wants an instant meet. I've met some good contacts just by posting my location and car in the forums.
  • Approach with care, and know the signals couples use when they're dogging:
    • the interior light on usually means voyeur sex only, with others watching
    • flashing headlights or brake lights
    • back windows or doors open
  • Keep valuables out of sight. Don't leave anything valuable in view in your car, and NOT under the driver's seat, as it's the first place anyone looks. The boot or glovebox is better.
  • Park smart. Find a good spot. I like to reverse into the space, so I can see what's coming into the car park, and if something goes wrong, it's easier to drive away in a hurry.

These are a few of the recent posts I've seen on the message boards, and if I see others, I'll add them here. Being inside the members' section means that if you see a question, you can answer it, and one of the great things about a members-only forum or chatroom is that you can help others, like the members above. For locations, see UK dogging locations.

Dogging advice: your questions

How do I find dogging as a beginner?

Choose your county on our UK dogging locations page, then join free and use the message boards and chatrooms to arrange a meet in advance, rather than just turning up.

What are the dogging signals?

An interior light on usually means voyeur sex only, with others watching. Flashing headlights or brake lights, and back windows or doors open, are also common signals. Never assume: if in doubt, keep your distance.

What should I take dogging?

Condoms, wet wipes, bags to take your rubbish home, a charged mobile and a drink.

Should I visit a dogging site before I go?

Yes. Check it out in daylight first, so you know where to park and where to look out, as things look very different at night.

How do couples stay safe dogging?

Agree your limits beforehand and stick to them, set a signal to tell your partner you want to leave, keep valuables out of sight and reverse into your parking space so you can drive away easily.

Is dogging legal?

Sex in a place where members of the public could see it can break the law. Keep it discreet, well away from homes and anyone who hasn't chosen to be there, and leave if you're asked to.
