In 2017 it was reported that approximately 43% of the British public had enjoyed sex in public. Some seek to further these experiences by engaging in public dogging and cruising, spaces where strangers will meet and involve each other in acts of sexual gratification. Essex has long been heralded as the dogging capital of Britain, highlighted by a yearly news story that appears in the spring/summer, handily listing the local locations for those either wishing to avoid or visit. I endeavoured to visit some of these sites and take a photographic record of the areas as well as any of the ‘sexual debris’ that signified the amorous activities that were/had occurred.
