Getting started

What is dogging?

Dogging is the adventurous side of adult dating: consenting grown ups who love a little thrill, a lot of flirting and the buzz of meeting like minded people. Dogging Dates is where you find them, and everything moves at the pace you choose.

Is Dogging Dates free to join?

Yes. Creating a profile is free and no card is needed to create your profile. You can browse members for free too. Sending messages needs a premium membership.

Who is the dogging site for?

Dogging Dates is a discreet dogging site for adults aged 18 and over in the UK who fancy a bit of adventure. Men, women and couples are all welcome.

Is there an age limit?

Yes. You must be 18 or over to use the site. It is strictly for adults.

Are couples welcome?

Yes. Men, women and couples are all welcome. When a couple joins, both partners should be up for everything, and either can say no at any time.

Is the site LGBTQ+ friendly?

Yes. Members of all genders and sexual orientations are welcome, as long as they are adults and treat others with respect.

Can I use the site without photos?

Finding dogging near you

Are there dogging spots near me?

Yes, there are plenty of dogging spots across the UK. We do not list specific places, but members often chat about ideas once they have got to know each other. Set your region to see who is near you.

How do I find local dogging?

Create a free profile, set your region and browse members nearby. Send a message, see who replies and take it from there.

Can I find members near me?

Have a look at our near me page to find your part of the UK. Members are spread across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.

Do I have to rush into anything?

Never. Flirt for as long as you like and only take things further when everyone is up for it. Anticipation is half the fun of dogging.

Membership and prices

What does a premium membership include?

A premium membership, VIP or VIP Plus, lets you send messages to other members, on top of everything in a free profile. See the features page for a comparison.

How much does a premium membership cost?

Prices depend on the plan and its length, from 1 week to 12 months, and are listed in pounds on our prices page. You will also see full details at checkout before you pay.

Does my membership renew automatically?

The weekly, monthly, 3 month and 6 month memberships renew automatically until you stop them. The 12 month membership is a single payment and does not renew. You can manage or cancel your membership from your account settings.

How do I manage my membership?

You can manage or cancel your membership from your account settings.

Privacy, safety and consent

How do I keep things private?

Share only what you are comfortable with. Leave out your full name, address, workplace and phone number, think carefully about photos and keep chatting on the site until you really trust someone. Our guide to privacy and safety has more.

How do I stay safe?

Take your time, trust your instincts and tell a trusted friend about your plans. You can walk away from any conversation at any moment. Read privacy and safety for practical tips.

What if someone is not my kind of adventure?

Just say no thanks. Everyone is free to walk away at any point. Blocking stops a member from contacting you, and reporting lets our team look into your concern. You never need to explain or apologise.

What does consent mean here?

A clear, freely given yes from everyone involved, which can be changed at any time. No means no, and nobody should ever be pressured. Read consent and etiquette.

Where can I learn the terms people use?

Our glossary explains popular dogging terms in a fun, friendly way, and our community page sets out the guidelines for members.

Still wondering?

The easiest way to find out is to have a look. Creating a profile is free.
