 A sign outside of a bicycle parking lot in Chiba, Japan, warns " Beware of Chikan (Perverts)." In psychiatry, the clinical term frotteurism (no longer called frottage) refers to a specific paraphilia which involves the non-consensual rubbing against another person to achieve sexual arousal. The contact is usually with the hands or the private parts and may involve touching any part of the body including the genital area. The majority of frotteurs are male and the majority of victims are female[1], although female on male frotteurs exist. Adult on child frotteurism ('bad touching') is a common early stage in child sexual abuse[2]. This non-consensual activity may be done discreetly without being discovered, or in circumstances where the victim cannot respond, typically in a public place such as a crowded train, or at a rock concert. In common speech frotteurism is called groping though this term may sometimes be used for consensual Frottage. Image File history File links Mergefrom. ...

Etymology
The term frotteurism derives from the French verb frotter meaning 'to rub'. The term frotteur is the French noun literally meaning 'rubber' or 'one who rubs'.
The psychiatric handbook, the DSM (see below), used to call this sexual disorder by the name frottage until the second edition (DSM II). However, this term is no longer used in the USA to refer to the sexual disorder, which is now called frotteurism, as it is in the current fourth edition (DSM IV). Nevertheless, the term frottage still remains in some law codes and is synonymous with the term frotteurism. "Frottage" is now used for consensual rubbing as part of normal sexual activity.

Groping in Japan
On public transportation Incidents of groping on mass transit, such as trains and buses, are widespread in Japan where suburban trains are often crowded, so that close physical contact is unavoidable. Passengers may use this to their advantage when committing groping. Mass transit companies in Japan and other densely populated areas are taking steps to prevent such incidents. Some train operators have introduced women-only passenger cars to help combat the problem. In the United States of America, transit describes local area common carrier passenger transportation configured to provide scheduled service on fixed routes on a non-reservation basis. ...

Concern and controversy The issue of groping does not just affect females but males also. Such is the concern of groping in Japan that a film has been made about it[3]. The film I Just Didn't Do It by Japanese film director Masayuki Suo, based on a true story, focuses on a male office worker acquitted of groping after a five year legal battle. The film aims to highlight the issue of groping, and challenge the fairness of Japan's secretive legal system which has a high 99 percent conviction rate against suspected gropers.[citation needed] Masayuki Suo (周防æ£è¡Œ SuÅ Masayuki, born 29 October 1956, in Tokyo, Japan) is a Japanese film director. ...
