A little planning goes a long way. Follow these tips and you can relax and enjoy yourself, knowing you've covered the basics.
Before You Go
- Chat first. Get to know who you're meeting on Dogging Finder before the night. A short voice or video chat helps confirm they're genuine.
- Tell someone. Let a trusted friend know roughly where you're going and when you expect to be back, and agree a check-in time.
- Keep personal details private. Don't share your home address, workplace or surname with people you haven't met.
- Charge your phone and consider sharing your live location with your trusted contact.
- Pack the essentials: condoms, a torch, water and clothes suited to the weather.
On The Night
- Park legally, facing the exit, and keep your keys and phone within reach.
- Leave valuables at home or out of sight.
- Stay sober enough to drive, read signals and make good decisions.
- Trust your instincts. If anything feels wrong, leave. You never owe anyone an explanation.
- Only interact with adults who have clearly consented, and stop immediately if anyone seems uncomfortable.
Protect Your Privacy
Discretion protects everyone. Never take or allow photos or videos without explicit consent, and avoid places where you might be recognised or seen by members of the public.
Look After Your Health
Use protection and get regular sexual health check-ups at a local clinic. It's part of being a responsible playmate.
