Groping
When used in a sexual context,
groping is
touching or fondling another person in an unwelcome sexual way using the hands. The term generally has a negative connotation in many societies, and may be considered
sexual assault, and terms such as
frotteurism (or
toucherism) may describe the practice of a person rubbing up against another person, typically using their sexual parts. Touching a consenting person's body during
sexual activity,
massage, or
medical examination is not usually considered groping, though the term is sometimes used to include clumsy, selfish, or inappropriate sexual touching. Areas of the body most frequently groped include the
buttocks,
breasts,
vulva and
thighs on a woman, and the
penis,
testicles and buttocks on a man. Gropers might use their hands, but pressing any part of their body against another person can be considered groping.
