peer agreement (net): +6frottage? Explanation: I have heard "frottage", which is an anglicism in French. The French term should be "frotteurisme". If that is the term you are looking for, it is also "frottage" in English, or "frotteurism". (ref. Termium Plus) -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 5 mins (2004-10-05 15:53:33 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- OBS – \"Frotteurism\" is the official term used in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM-III-R). \"Frottage\" and \"frotulism\" can be used as synonyms in certain circumstances. OBS – frottage: the practice of getting sexual stimulation and satisfaction by rubbing against something, especially another person. OBS – frotulism: rubbing against another person. DEF – Obtention du plaisir sexuel par des effleurements et des caresses furtives à une autre personne et dans certaines circonstances favorables (foule, etc.). (TERMIUM Plus) |
