SEX tourists and locals have taken to a website to reveal the boroughs top ‘dogging hotspots’.
Reading is fortunate to have lots of beautiful parks and beauty spots for families and dog walkers to enjoy near the countryside, but this isn't the only way these green spaces are being used.
It turns out that people are also using some areas in Reading for 'dogging'.
The act of Dogging is a sexual activity in public or watching others engage in sexual activity in public.
It is not illegal in the UK, but people who get caught can be charged under the Sexual Offences Act 2003 with public lewdness and indecent exposure.
Dogging became popular in 2003 when couples were able to arrange meetings conveniently on the internet.
The website, Swinging Heaven, has listed the favourite places couples enjoy outdoor sex.

A tourist attraction as such and close to Dinton Pastures, lies a small car park where people like to meet for sexual activity.
According to one reviewer, they said there are two locations in Woodley near Reading.
"One a small car park near the Aviation Museum just off Bader Way. The second is a car park as you head towards Twyford in a park area. Mainly couples along with a few singles in cars wanting to be watched. Dusk is a good time."
