Modern times

Within the gay sub-culture

Prior to the development of the Internet, some gay men met in public settings (parks, restrooms, beats, and other cruising areas) in order to have sex.^[1] The rise of the Internet allowed these men to connect virtually and meet in a private setting, resulting in a decline of the public sex subculture within the gay community.

By country

• United Kingdom - sex in a semi-public place is sometimes known as dogging.
