Hi Jomu...always nice to have a balanced discussion and yes, take your point completely...perhaps it's inevitable that this scene will be closed down...perhaps it should be! The point being that whilst consenting grown-ups want this lifestyle, and others don't, the minority quite rightly will have to operate with the upmost of descretion. Anything in life should be done without causing any harm or offence to others (or the environment!). Clearly, the fact that many senior people in local gov'mt were never aware of PSE's before this report and the recent media hype, demonstrates that previously there was a reasonably good balance. That appears to now be in decline. We fully accept that it's totally un-acceptable for practicioners to discard rubbish and such like that cause offense, health risk and costs money for the authorities to clean-up. That's not just something to do with dogging - just good manners and and a consciensous social attitude.
We'll read the report with a great deal of interest...and an open mind. Many thanks for the responsible comment.
Al, see our add on this forun or in the dogging ads for tonight...
Bravo...this is so true. And then guys wonder why the dogging scene in Dorset is dead!
Another thing, if people didn't keep advertising dogging locations then curious idiots with intentions of spoiling it for the rest would probably not even know where to go. I believe all the recent publicity in the media has alerted a lot of local people of a scene they have been quite happyly living with for years, but now they know it's going on near to where they live, have pressured councils and alike to shut down these spots. Look at how many sites in Dorset are now all locked up at night, or fenced off and the increased levels of policing that goes on.
So, apart from the above, if you don't want to spoil the fun for yourselves, stop keep thinking it's big to tell everybody about it!
