Dogging: a British euphemism for engaging in sexual acts in a semi-public place (typically a secluded car park or a cinema) or watching others do so. 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. Internet and text messaging is a very common way of organising meetings. (wikipedia)
Evidently the Cork dogging community is active and thriving. According to swing4ireland website, there have been over 30 dogging locations and meetings arranged in 2008 alone, and no doubt this is not the only place to network on.
Ignorant to this past-time, the first I heard of it was when I moved close to a popular dogging spot some years ago.
It is post titles like By The Dole Office that really highlight the classiness of it all, or the desperation of Anywhere... Somebody let me know where and when, that leave one longingly think – can I join?. Yet, the executive level organisational skills that come to shine in seeing through the event with military precision, should at least be acknowledged.
One of the instructions reads, "Go towards airport ,Right at 'airplane' roundabout, towards airport, 2nd roundabout right,2nd avenue (ave 3000) right, after 3400 building left, and go to residents wall at 4300 building."
All this is short of is - "Bring a compass and a flash light, we have a Morse code specialist at the location, who will be able to assist." It is a bit like boy scouts. I wonder - do you get badges? Please advise.
Nature walk starting at Sarsfield roundabout ending Bishopstown court roundabout however, nearly endears these delicate creatures to me. Who knows what it must be like to be a dogging enthusiast.
Incidentally, dogging was initially cited as a purely British phenomenon.
