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./smaller>/color>/fontfamily>
"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. /smaller>/color>/fontfamily>
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. /smaller>/color>/fontfamily>
Web
sites have sprung up across Britain extolling the pleasures of sex under the
stars and online message boards list the best parks and carparks to watch
people express themselves. /smaller>/color>/fontfamily>
An
academic who set out to study anti-social behavior in parks and stumbled on
a thriving dogging underworld said dangers were also lurking in the bushes. /smaller>/color>/fontfamily>
"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. /smaller>/color>/fontfamily>
"Prostitutes
have been moving into some of these areas and I know of cases where some
people have been attacked while dogging," he said. /smaller>/color>/fontfamily>
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. /smaller>/color>/fontfamily>
"I
soon realized 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. /smaller>/color>/fontfamily>
FLASHING
LIGHTS /smaller>/color>/fontfamily>
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. /smaller>/color>/fontfamily>
"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. /smaller>/color>/fontfamily>
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. /smaller>/color>/fontfamily>
"We
are not passing moral judgment, we are only giving advice about the
dangers," he said. /smaller>/color>/fontfamily>
While
acknowledging doggers are a determined breed, Byrne said he had proposed
several ways to prevent the behavior -- including more police patrols -- but
he has already ruled out one remedy.
/smaller>/color>/fontfamily>
"We
thought better lighting in parks might prevent it but it actually allows to
see what they're doing better," he said.
