The masks!! They look like Pinocchio's jackass boys in Pleasure Island..
Sex God
That program was first aired just before Christmas IIRC and it was a pile of crap.
Never been dogging but have been to dogging sites. In my pre-swinging days my wife and I enjoyed going to a local nature reserve, we would buy loaves of bread and spend half an hour meticulously cutting them into small squares so that they were ready to throw to the ducks, geese and swans rather than be swamped on arrival as was the case for many who went to feed them.
I always thought it strange that we would see so many single guys just sitting in their cars, I thought perhaps they were reps taking a break for lunch but wondered why they chose to drive so far off the main motorways/roads.
Occasionally I would see couples doing the same thing and be even more puzzled why they would want to sit in a car park for hours on end.
We often took a picnic with us but if it was wet or windy we would sit in the car and eat, we thought it strange and intrusive that so many men would make a point of walking close to the car and peer in.
Naïve, perhaps, but this was pre-internet days and the dogging scene was not so widely written about, we knew nothing of it.
Even now with Sasha we like to go and feed the ducks at the Nature Reserve, we find some of the guys intimidating and intrusive not accepting that some of the people are there for the purpose of enjoying a public nature reserve, there are Mothers with children, people genuinely walking their dogs.
Not being for the disappearing into the secluded parts of the woods we have not (thankfully) come across the piles of used condoms referred to on the programme but can well believe this to be a problem.
The programme made no mention of the dangers of dogging, the recent cases of boy racers finding it fun to hound and harass doggers in car parks, the pimps that attacked doggers in Birmingham believing that offering sex for free was affecting their local business, the "do good" brigade who harassed doggers and publicised registration numbers on the internet and the muggers who knew that people would be less likely to report offences to the Police to save their embarrassment and possible identification if the case came to court.
The programme as they always do did show a couple for whom dogging was a bid to repair a marriage in trouble when most of us know this is a more rare reason why people enjoy dogging, it happens but not as often as the programme portrayed.
Like all such documentaries they made it look totally sleazy and quite laughable.

A friend off here gave me a heads-up after it was first aired and I had to tolerate C4's unskippable advertising to watch it on demand... The thing that impressed me the most about this "documentary" is that good money, and the exceptional skill of good people have gone into making a program that was designed to be mockery!
There is no way anybody could watch this and not cringe, whether they were involved in the scene or not. The masks part was the worst, because the interviewees would have readily agreed to them in order to conceal identity... and it presented as an "arty" approach. But in reality it so obviously intended to dehumanise the interviewees (and the further shots of animals foraging in the night sealed the deal). To be honest, I was shocked - I don't think I've seen such a disingenuous program ever before.
Also of interest is that the program caused quite a stir on twitterland, with all sorts of sarcastic commentary and some people sending pictures of themselves in animal masks! Also there was a bit of banter about the mention of Lynx, with speculation that this unexpected mention was a blow to the product's image because of negative associations. The company was on the ball, they first twitted but as conversation grew and grew, they followed up with

Ha! Terrific. I missed that at the time.
I avoided watching the show, but can imagine. I'm torn. I suppose it would be better if the media dealt with unconventional sex in a less prurient and snide fashion. However, the fact they never do implies dogging/swinging/bdsm/ still has the power to shock or disgust. Which I must say I quite like ;)
