Car parks, beaches and lay-bys across North Wales have been identified as destinations for those taking part in dogging. North Wales' beauty spots have long been popular with visiting families and walkers, but many of these stunning locations also attract people interested in doing a lot more than sight-seeing.
All across the region, car parks, beaches and lay-bys have been identified as destinations for those taking part in dogging. Dogging is a British slang term which originated in the early s and means to have or observe exhibitionist sex in a public or semi-public place , usually outside, where other people will watch and sometimes join in.
Several different places in North Wales are mentioned online as being used by doggers, who use forums and websites where they reveal the locations and review each spot for activity. Many of the locations are known for their picturesque beauty and stunning views, but they are also considered to be some of the region's " dogging hotspots ". It involved a three-stage approach, with officers firstly contacting the relevant groups urging them not to use public areas for outdoor sex , and leaflets being distributed in the community.
