I thought this was a respected “cultural” practice

I mean, if i were giving blowjobs in the park, I’d likely be arrested. But for these gentlemen, “dogging” – i.e. homosexual practice in public areas patronized by families and children during the day – is a time honored tradition.

Seven men have been charged after allegedly conducting sexual trysts and exposing themselves in a Whitby park.

One of the men, a 62-year-old from Oshawa, was also charged with sexual assault. Police say he didn’t tell the man he was having sex with he was HIV-positive.

Nice! Let’s add “bugging” – the practice of spreading or chasing AIDS for fun – to the list of disgusting practices these men have undertaken.

Most of the men are believed to be between 49 and 71 years old, and police believe the trysts were arranged online. They were found and charged in Lynde Shores Conservation Area.

Durham police spokesman Dave Selby said most of the men were from the area.

“We believe some of the communication was web-based and some was word-of-mouth.”

Plain clothes officers investigated after receiving several complaints from park-goers that men were “exposing themselves” and “participating in sexual acts” in public, according to a press release.

The men, police say, were arrested over the course of the past few days and charged with committing indecent acts.

During the same investigation, 11 more men were charged with trespassing because they entered environmentally sensitive areas that are off-limits to the public.

Jokes aside, I’m sure the only crime that will stand in court without being thrown out is endangering coyotes. Pathetic.

How come the rest of us have to use cars or rent hotels?

We needed a study to tell us this?

    The UK police got in on the act by actually giving out tea and biscuits to “doggers!”

    See: http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/top-stories/2010/03/28/free-tea-for-doggers-115875-22143754/

    Once upon a time the only place you got your tea and biscuit was down at the police station where you would be charged with lewd behaviour in public. Now they are making sure that queers get ‘refreshments” to go along with their dose of AIDS and STDs.

    I hope they are giving out wet wipes as well.

    Here is another (better) newspaper report, accompanied by letters from disgusted local residents.

    Thanks for this one. I have to go and check what the Daily Mail has to say about it. I wonder if this will be “a right” soon.
