Dogging is a British euphemism for engaging in sexual acts in a semi-public place (typically a secluded car park or woods) or watching others doing so. Frequently, there are more than two participants; both group sex and gang banging can be included. As observation is encouraged, voyeurism and exhibitionism are closely associated with dogging. The two sets of people involved often meet either randomly or (increasingly) arrange to meet-up beforehand over the Internet.

In September 2003, the BBC[1] reported on the 'new' dogging craze. They cited the Internet and text messaging as very common ways of organising meetings. The original definition of dogging (and which is still a closely-related activity) is spying on couples having sex in a car or other public place. This can become habitual and is a paraphilia known as voyeurism.

Although mainly thought of as a purely British phenomenon[citation needed], there is some evidence on the Internet that the 'craze' has recently begun to spread to other countries (such as the U.S.A., Canada, Greenland, Ireland, Australia, Barbados, Brazil, the Netherlands, Norway[2] and Poland[3]).
