I have noticed more and more doggers getting involved in carping. Carping comes from the activity of dogging. A carper is a person who engages in conversation with another person on a mobile phone (or through online chat) who is masturbating either publicly or privately.Many of the more experienced doggers (people who put on shows) invite carping by writing their telephone number on a cardboard box or large piece of paper and placing it on display inside their vehicle.

Carping is also the definition of one who chats with another while watching them perform live on a web cam. Although the original definition of the word came from the actual physical event, online dogging has adopted the slang for its own use.
