This article is about the art technique. For the sexual practice of frottage, please see Frottage (sexology)

In art, frottage (from the French frotter, to rub) is a surrealist and "automatic" method of creative production developed by Max Ernst in which one takes a pencil or other drawing tool and makes a "rubbing" over a textured surface. The drawing can either be left as is or used as the basis for further refinement. While superficially similar to brass rubbing, frottage differs in being aleatory in nature.

Frotteurism

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

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.
