Do other countries do dogging, or is it purely a British pastime?

1. Thinking of a holiday?

2. In America dog parks having nothing to do with dogging, they don’t tell you these important things at the travel agents

3. Yelp’s idea of the best dogging in Paris doesn’t seem to mean the same thing:

4. It goes on here on Ireland as well but as a country like the UK we also watch Mrs Brown’sboy’s, follow the Premier league and snort far too much coke so maybe that has something to do with it.

5. Does Britain do dogging, or is it just a myth?

6. Idk, but can confirm I’m in SW England and it’s pretty common here 🤣

7. “Dogging: “It’s just a little phrase that John and I made up when we were cottaging in Norfolk.” “ – Jam and Jerusalem

8. In France they call it “Le Dogging” because of the Metric system.

9. Oh here we are and here we are and here we go

   All aboard and we’re hitting the road

   Here we go, dogging all over the world

10. In the usa it’s based on laybys or what are called vista points, and it’s mostly gay

11. I mentioned it once in an ask Reddit post and the Americans had no clue. Not sure about other countries.

13. Ah, the bi-weekly dogging thread.

    So many people out walking their doggos.

14. In Australia we don’t do dogging. But we do go out into the bush and take drugs. It’s called a bush doof!

15. The Germans are definitely at it, seen it on the hub.

16. Disgusting past time.

    Please tell me of any in my area of Cheshire so that I know to avoid them……….also the best time to frequent them so that I don’t actually end up there…..also any etiquette I should be aware of incase I give off the wrong vibes should I be in that specific area at that exact time.

    Thank you in advance.

17. In Spain it’s El Dogging

18. r/suspiciouslyspecific “I ask not because I want to find a dogging club when next I go to France, but because I’m genuinely curious”

19. Slightly related but I recommend the song ‘Dogging’ by Fascinating Aida!

20. I went to a wedding recently and there was an American couple there

    I assume you all call it something along the lines of ‘double parked’ (when you have two drinks at the same time), well, over there they call it Double Fisted

    So my friend group now have a new term – double fisted

21. Tell me you’re into Dogging without telling me you’re into Dogging, OP.

22. There’s a dogging spot where I walk my dogs, so there’s always men in the bushes. Weird thing is, they’ve set up what I can only describe as a waiting room by arranging some tree trunks and installed a bin? So they keep it all very tidy 😅

23. My wife and I accidentally went to a French dogging site. It was a car park next to an abandoned castle near the Seine. We’d gone to see the castle , we were having an explore , the wife got bored and went back to the car. A big suv thing pulled into the car park alongside our car and the couple gesticulated to my wife to get into their car. She did not . I then rocked up, back from my explore to find a very panicked wife.

24. I’m Italian and I can tell you that people there do it as well. The difference is that you can also really call it dogging in the UK, in Italy it’s called sparkling copulation.

25. HAHAHAHAHA oh my God I thought this was going to be the usual sort of British thing that sounds horribly dirty and ends up meaning “bringing flowers to grandma on a Tuesday afternoon” or something, holy crap, y’all nasty, daaaaaang. Love it. Keep it freaky, Britain.

26. People often ask me about my time as a paramedic and the phrase “you must have seen some things” comes up a lot.

    Well I worked mostly on a fast response car, and that meant a lot of time parked up waiting for emergencies, as I’d be kept back to deal with the most severe emergencies.

    If I parked up in public, I’d often be bothered by the public, so I’d usually park up in secluded or hidden places. Peaceful spots to read my book, listen to some music or even shit (shut)my eyes for 5 minutes.

    Unfortunately these quiet, secluded spots are often popular with other people for different reasons, and I would definitely not suddenly and unexpectedly throw on the lights and sirens and drive towards groups of people around parked cars for shits and giggles. Definitely not.
