My comment:

Darse el lote puede significar simplemente besarse (de hecho, es lo m�s normal), y la expresi�n inglesa que mejor lo expresa es "to make out", aunque es m�s americana que "necking". Depende eso ya de para qui�n es la traducci�n. Mucha suerte

My references:

Oxford Superlex:
neck2 vi (colloq) besuquearse (fam), darse* or pegarse* el lote (Esp fam),
make out
II c (sexually) (AmE sl) �neck2

shagging

My comment:

This is a typical way of expressing the original Spanish. An alternative would be: having it off OR having it away. Shagging leaves no room for confusion!

A lifetime speaking and teaching my native tongue!

Shagging significa "follar". En espa�ol de Espa�a, darse el lote no tiene por qu� significar llegar tan lejos.
