Main Page | See live article | Alphabetical index In the context of human sexual behavior, frottage or frotteurism is the act of obtaining sexual gratification by rubbing one's (clothed or naked) body against another person. Frotteurism carries a connotation of 'anonymous and discreet rubbing' in a public place - like on a crowded train. The contact may be mutual or a one-way exchange. A person who practices frotteurism is known as a frotteur. "Frot" (short for frottage) or "phrot" (alternate spelling) among homosexual men tends to imply genital rubbing in a conventional private context, the female equivalent is sometimes referred to as tribadism. As with most other sexual practices, frottage with a non-consenting person is regarded as a form of sexual assault in most jurisdictions. A widely-practiced form of frotteurism is inter-crural intercourse. This article is from Wikipedia. All text is available under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License.
