Cheers, Mark
Maybe James could use the cartoon for one of his stickers?! wink
LOL.....i love it...could be....''Safe Dogging for Life''...Ha Ha ha....
Damn it - was too late for the obvious joke!!!! Great cartoon, think it'll transfer to Tshirts well???

The Sun would probably sponsor a t-shirt campaign to get Britain dogging, complete with page three girls wearing skimpier versions of said t-shirts. If it's going to be big (as it is), The Sun will put their morals aside to make a buck or two wink
Since when did the 'SUN' have morals, :shock: I seem to remember it was this paper that intoduced Page 3 girls. biggrin As to the comment that Doggers are likely to spread sexually transmitted diseases my only comment is a polite "ROW-- LOCKS". rolleyes The doggers I have met over the past 40 years are very responsible in this matter. 8)
Indeed, far more so than the drunken youths of both sexes who get pissed out of their minds in the pub at the weekend and have an unprotected quicky in a near bye alley. :roll:

I was swinging before they invented the pundulum. lol
Thanks Bluexxx - I asked for this in another thread before reading this one!
Where do I get an application form for "Dogging Outreach Co-ordinator"?
I could do that for £25k.
Mark, I think you should complain - no mention of swingingheaven!
Geoff
Geoff, you could always email The Sun and ask them for an application form for a reporter's job wink
Naah - my morals would get in the way. being a reporter is only one small step up from being a politician!
Was this cartoon I wonder, drawn after the artist had visited a few Dogging Sites around the country. confused: The reason I ask is, the old biddy with the pooch seems very familiar. :? I seem to recollect seeing her, or someone very similar, at several sites in the north of England. Perhaps she is a latent Dogger herself, or, is she one of the Sun's undercover reporters. wink

Maybe I'm not the oldest swinger around after all.
lol
I have it on good authority that the old lady in question is actually a reporter from the Daily Sport wink :wink:
more news! 2 page spread smile
From the Daily Mail Saturday 20th Sep

Oh, the tabloids are really getting their teeth into this.....great stuff! wink Actually I thought the Mail's headline was quite positive, almost inviting people to join in :shock: , until I got to the word "degrading" (derading for who?), but ignoring the sensationalism that sells papers, I reckon this may well encourage a few newbies to get out and about - as it says in the paper - to a neighbourhood near YOU!!!! Wooooo hoooooo!!!! :P :P :P
Just when you thought it was safe to pick up a newspaper again, there's more media hype on dogging. This time, the paper that loves to protect the public's morals - the Daily Sport :shock: - has a two page spread about the subject - all the main centres revealed - honest!!!!
This was taken off the site
WHY 'oddly enough'? doesn't EVERYONE know about this now? wink

Sex with strangers dogging parks
By Jason Hopps
LONDON (Reuters) - Voyeurs and exhibitionists drawn to outdoor fun have discovered erotic pleasures in normally placid English parks that have nothing to do with walking the dog.
"Dogging", a term that loosely describes a variety of sex acts performed outdoors or in parked cars in front of strangers (and sometimes with them), has become such a craze that health authorities have warned against its dangers.
The term "dogging" apparently comes from those who claim only to be "taking the dog for a walk" -- but are actually on the prowl for something more.
Web sites have sprung up across Britain extolling the pleasures of sex under the stars and online message boards list the best parks and car parks to watch people express themselves.
An academic who set out to study anti-social behaviour in parks and stumbled on a thriving dogging underworld said dangers were also lurking in the bushes.
"The problem is people are leaving behind condoms, lubricants and sometimes clothing at family sites and causing cleaning headaches for groundspeople," Richard Byrne, a countryside management lecturer at Harper Adams College, told Reuters on Friday.
"Prostitutes have been moving into some of these areas and I know of cases where some people have been attacked while dogging," he said.
Byrne said he surveyed park managers, rangers and wardens across England and found dogging sites existed in every English county -- hundreds are dotted across the country -- from the south coast to the Scottish border.
"I soon realised that dogging was being driven by the Internet and was very widespread and that some doggers take it quite seriously, wearing camouflage and even keeping diaries of their experiences," he said.
FLASHING LIGHTS
Among the dozens of dogging Web sites, several offer tips on finding the best locations, how to meet people "to dog" with and how to signal you want to watch -- or be watched.
"There`s loads of signals that doggers use, the most common are flashing lights. Leaving the inside car light on means they want to be watched. If they wind down the window, this means they want to be fondled," one site advises.
Health authorities in southeast England posted warnings on dogging web sites after discovering several cases of sexually transmitted diseases linked to the outdoor pursuit.
"We noticed a more than usual number of notifications of Hepatitis B and when we were investigating we found that some of them were involved in the practice of having sex with strangers in open places," said Dr Mathi Chandrakumar, head of the Kent Health Protection Unit.
"We are not passing moral judgement, we are only giving advice about the dangers," he said.
While acknowledging doggers are a determined breed, Byrne said he had proposed several ways to prevent the behaviour -- including more police patrols -- but he has already ruled out one remedy.
"We thought better lighting in parks might prevent it but it actually allows to see what they`re doing better," he said.

ROTFLMAO!!
It's so, so funny being an insider look at the outsiders looking at us. This is something that rarely happens to me as I usually feeling like an outsider myself.
I suppose while they are preoccupied with the likes of us they are leaving other marginalised groups of society alone.
I do think though that it's the kids out for a drunken shag on a Saturday night that leave condoms laying around and not sensible doggers. I do agree that you should take your rubbish home with you... in fact I know of one gent who used to love to collect the condoms used on his wife - didn't ask if he polished them or put them on display in a cabinet.
So Dogging increases the risk of sexual diseases being contracted? Funny... most dogging activity I come across would be classed as foreplay in any 'normal' relationship - unless you can catch anything by having a strange man lick your tits? :shock: :shock: :shock:
I'd better go do some more research.... :twisted:
Hxx
I suspect that parks get littered with sexual debris from drunken teenagers and the like, rather than serious doggers...this is just another example of media hype - BAH evil
Yes, of course you can use my quote, Mark (are you going to include the "BAH" at the end too? wink ). It's based on a little bit of life experience, but not a lengthy and detailed research project (though, come to mention it, that sort of research could be fun :twisted: )
"We noticed a more than usual number of notifications of Hepatitis B and when we were investigating we found that some of them were involved in the practice of having sex with strangers in open places," said Dr Mathi Chandrakumar, head of the Kent Health Protection Unit.

Damn, and I thought fresh air was good for you!
Note the word "some." Nasty word that, can mean anything. 3 out of 100,000 is as much "some" as 45 out of 50.
Truly it is said that "there are lies, damned lies and statistics" (and I should know, I have passed exams in the subject.)
Who wants to ring up Dr Chandrakumar and ask what was the ratio to the total sample?
:twisted:
I think we should request the details of what actual qualifications these so called academics have, as well as check out their published findings. I wouldn't be suprised if the media hasn't made the whole thing up...journalists lie, you know wink
