Description
Minnow Films for Channel 4
Why do some men and women feel the need to go out and have sex with strangers in public areas under the cover of darkness? Forever associated with remote car parks and lay-bys, 'dogging' is a British euphemism for engaging in a sex act while others watch. Those involved might meet randomly or arrange it beforehand, often via the Internet.
This compelling film features stories told by real life doggers. What attracts them to this combination of voyeurism and exhibitionism? Shedding light on the physical and psychological motivations, and discovering that many doggers are simply in search of a connection with others, the result is a surprisingly beautiful and original portrait of animalistic activity.
