FURTIVE perverts getting a thrill by watching each other have sex in cars are on the increase in Worcester.

The Evening News revealed that 42 people had posted adverts on an adult website looking to set up liaisons, with County Hall car park in Spetchley being mentioned as a possible location.

Ten days later that number had jumped to 53 people looking to take part in "dogging" - watching couples have sex in cars - as well as "swinging" and other group sex activities.

'Mature bi couple from Worcester' posted: "We like porn, and making videos, taking pics, dogging... (edited for content) in fact you name it we are into it."

The advert was posted on Sunday, August 3 and has since been viewed 5,865 times, according to the website counter.

"Nervous from Worcester" posted: "We are a normal married couple in our early 40s, who are taking our first steps into soft swinging and would like to find another couple in the area who would like to explore some mutual touching and massage."

This was posted on Friday, August 22 and has since been viewed 185 times.

The most recent advert was posted by "Trish" looking for a single male for a threesome in "a hotel in Worcestershire... some time in September."

After being posted on Tuesday, August 26, it has already been viewed 212 times.

Although County Hall car park was identified as a possible "dogging" location in two adverts on the site, a Worcestershire County Council spokesman said there had been no evidence of it, but "staff have got their eyes peeled."

A combination of lighting, CCTV and the Evening News article may have deterred people from using the site.

Despite claims by the website authors that dogging is legal, a West Mercia Police spokesman said those people taking part in such activities could be liable to fines or imprisonment.
