different between dogging vs cottaging

English

dogging (plural doggings)

The act of one who dogs or harasses.
- 1844, George Lillie Craik, Charles MacFarlane, The Pictorial History of England (page 598)
  […] free from the doggings of the common informer, but under the superintendence of the bishop […]
(Britain) The practice of having sexual intercourse in public places, especially parks, deliberately taking the chance of being watched.
- 2016, Alan Moore, Jerusalem, Liveright, p. 21:
  Even that […] had been less awful than this date-rape opportunity and likely dogging hotspot, with its hasty skim of tarmac spread like cheap, stale caviar across the pink pedestrian tiles beneath […].

dogging

cottaging (uncountable)

(Britain, slang) Sexual activity in a public lavatory, especially homosexual activity between men.
- 1993 October 6, Anna Kisselgoff, "Upstart and Formal Styles in Montreal", in The New York Times, page C14:
  "MSM," a term that is reportedly English social-work jargon for "men seeking sex with men," explores the reasons why men, including heterosexuals, cruise in English lavatories, which are, believe it or not, called "cottages." The text is made up of actual interviews with those who go "cottaging."
A seasonal activity involving a prolonged stay at one or more cottages; similar to visiting, but typically for a longer duration and at a seasonal home that one owns or rents.
- 2004, C. Michael Hall, Dieter K. Muller, Tourism, Mobility and Second Homes (page 69)
  This comparison between the commercial cottager and the private cottager begins to give us an insight into differences between the private cottager and the commercial cottager, a difference that has implications for the relation of cottaging to city life.
