Hi mcrguy37, or may I call you Mark,
Firstly don’t take this the wrong way, this is not directly aimed at you… it is a general answer to the question that you ask…. “Anyone know any good dogging sites in the NW”…. like so many others ask, again, and again, and again….
First I need to explain a little history….
I started dogging many many moons ago…. Most doggers from back then will tell you that they happened upon it by chance, perhaps stopping in a car park for a snog with the girlfriend… and became hooked… Not like today and every man and his dog knows about it, and I would suggest 95% from the internet!
In those days you almost undertook a dogging apprenticeship… you put in lots of hours, you gained lots of patience, you paid your respects to the older seasoned and more knowledgeable doggers, who if you were respectful to and showed them that you had obtained the patience required, would take you under there wing and start to teach / show you the ropes…
Theses ropes consisted of places, approaches, etiquette, signs, signals, tricks of the art, etc… and when you were trusted, they gave you introductions to couples, then by word of mouth and reputation you became accepted.
Other things back then were also different… there were not as many doggers, places or couples about, and participating / showing couples were interspaced with courting couples, this was where the true art and patience and perseverance was learnt along with practicing some tricks of the trade, like the “warm hand or liquid to clear a misted window trick” (guess where the warm liquid was obtained).
Over time the art was honed, and slowly couples grew, places blossomed, and all was well in the world, I can recall some evenings when couples well outnumbered doggers and us poor doggers had to double shift as to not disappoint the couples. (You see above that I call it an art, some refer to it as a sport … This I think is the defining point of the old school from the new, but I digress….)
Then came the Internet, Sunday papers exposing sites, etc… and even more doggers wanted to inflict themselves on ever decreasing couples, they did not want to have to take the time to learn, they came from a world of instant everything… food, credit, etc… The more competition, the more shortcuts were taken, out of the window went etiquette, patience, etc… Leading to Today, where it has sadly got to the stage of doggers pushing others out the way when a car approaches that just may have a couple in it… and knocking on the window expecting full on action before the engine has even been turned off! Of course the inevitable happens… and even more couples disappear!
Shame I hear you say…. Ahhhh, but all is not lost……. You see, the old school doggers never let all their secrets out. Yes there are still some “good places”, there are still some “good couples” there is still “fun to be had”…. but there wouldn’t be, if we passed it all on, so please understand when you don’t get the response you want to “Anyone know any good dogging sites in the NW”. Put in the time, good hunting….
