JAKARTA - Most British people engage in outdoor sex in an effort to avoid lockdown restrictions. According to research, this kind of sexual activity has increased.

Over the past two months, about 30,000 British people have searched for the best public locations to have fun. There was an 85 percent increase in people looking for places to have outdoor sex over the past year.

And with restrictions tightened in recent weeks, interest in outdoor sex has only increased. Last week saw the highest number of dogging searches (sex in public places) since summer and 'Dogging' even trended on Twitter on Fridays in the UK.

The trend sprang up on social media after Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced a three-tier lockdown system; "medium", "high", and "very high" risk areas.

So, where have Britons had sex in the last few weeks?

Datingroo created a map of public sex points to highlight the highest number of locations having sex in public places.

Northerners appear to be more adventurous than those in the south because Manchester offers them the most representative outdoor sex locations.

There are 131 points of interest in the city - including car park.

5. Bristol - 76

6. Cardiff - 76

10. Newcastle - 59

It should be noted that those in the Level 2 (high risk) or Tier 3 (very high risk) areas should not have casual sex indoors.

According to the government, lying to someone from a different family is prohibited if you belong to this level.

Casual sex is technically legal indoors under a Level 1 (moderate risk) lockdown , but it is against guidelines because people are not in a bubble of support or "established relationships" intended to maintain social distancing when they gather indoors.

The government guidelines do not define what is considered an "established relationship", but add: "If in the early stages of a relationship, you should be careful to follow guidelines on social distancing."

Some Brits believe having sex outdoors is a sneaky way to bend boundaries. Despite these British expectations, the Prime Minister's spokesman emphatically stated:

"As is the case throughout this pandemic, you must always behave based on the level of your residence," he said.

"So if you stay in Tier 2, you get out of Tier 2, you have to continue to behave according to the rules for Tier 2."
