'One picture is worth ten thousand words'
Frederick R. Barnard in Printer's Ink, 8 Dec 1921.
I love these BIG questions. This one is up there with "Why are we Here?"!!
My view on dogging, rom the single guy viewpoint, is turning up for eroticism, watching a couple play with the bonus coming if participation can follow.
All of the people I have met recently have been really nice (couples and single guys alike) and I know NWG probably think this......the definition of dogging may now have evolved for the real doggers to incorporate the social side of things.
Its hard to come up with a definition in one sentence as everyone has their own limits - so it is different things for different people.
On a social note - has NWG invited Serendipity to the Wigan Munch???? It would be supa dupa to see her there!!!!!
Yeah I guess Mr D is right , the question is very big and virtualy unanswerable . In fact it crosses my mind that its trying to answer questions like that which can spoil a perfectly fun pastime . Dont get me wrong Mrs Wigan its a great question , and Im not having a go for at you for asking it . I just reckon that like alot of abstract ideas and fantasies that are fun and amusing and exciting - if you analyze them too much you remove all their effectiveness.
Thats really why I always dislike people listing 'guidelines' or 'etiquette' or worse 'rules' of dogging . Its a thing that appeals to people for so many different reasons , and more importantly its part of a bigger-much bigger picture . Many long term members of what is loosely known as the 'swinging community' have expressed over the past few years that the scene isnt what it used to be . This applies as much if not more specifically to dogging . My theory of why its not what it used to be is simple - its not as naughty ! A huge part of what makes many sexual activities appealing is their forbidden and seedy aspect , and like it or not no one is as shocked any more about carpark liasons or swinging clubs . they are becoming routine parts of a rapidly changing society . Taking away the aspect of these activities removes a large part of the excitement for many . It also means many who previously wouldnt have even come near to having the courage to attempt them feel just about comfortable enough to try them , but they arent comfortable unless they can try their version of what is swinging or dogging . So they want rules and regulations so that they can assuage their doubts about what they are doing right or what other participants are doing wrong . In applying such rigidity to what are supposed to be spontaneous situations they simply succeed in homogenising and watering down the very excitements that they found so facinating .
In truth fantasies are best if they remain so for the majority and are acted out by only just enough rare individuals to confirm their believabilty - as soon as they become common they become routine and dull .
In answer to the question for us dogging is an exciting mix of exhibitionist thrill , pride in showing off our sexual freedom and desire for each other . Showing others that we can be so comfortable in each others sensual moments as to share it and gain sexual excitement from their desire . Also it should be seedy and tacky and risky as well as meaningless to all those involved except for us . For them it is simply a chance sexual spectacle and for us a demonstration of our sexual liberation without the need for exchange of bodily fluids with anyone but each other . Voyeurs ( the true ones) and exhibitionists are the ultimate form of safe consensual sexual gratification . When my love displays herself for a stranger she does it for herself and feels her sexual power in their desire , she feels the desire from me and she also does it for me as she knows it excites me to display how lucky I am to have such a desirable and sensual creature as she as my partner . Every man wants to believe that women are capable of total sexual abandonment and lust , and the display in carparks goes some way to suggest that the woman involved is the embodiment of that fantasy .
We still like to show and most times its still fun , we like to try and make sure its fun for everyone else involved as well - but most of all dogging for us is about us and some of the greatest most sexually charged evenings dogging we have ever had have been when no one else has shown up .
I guess thats an opus too
Peace
Alright girls all we have to do now is find a sexy innocent ..........................perhaps we are looking in the wrong place :-)

back to the original question and definition in the first opening thread.
i dont know whether dogging can be catogorised into whether there is just a show or whether full on sex with participation is involved. I think the term just relates to the illicit and unknown expectation and not to what happens during the situation That i suppose is the beauty, not knowing what will appear or if anything will happen.
however i do think the scene has changed. Everyone now knows the term and what it involves, hence the added proliferation of boy racers and police.
Whereas up to a year ago it was just simply sitting in a car and hardly ever talking to anyone whilst waiting, it now appears to be part of the scene to make friends and openly discuss every aspect
its less scary and less illicit
