| - Frot (French: frotter, to rub) is a slang term derived from frottage describing a form of male-male non-penetrative sex, where male partners engage in the rubbing of erect penis on erect penis, typically while in full-frontal embrace. Various other sexual positions for frot are of course possible. The term frot specifies mutual male-male genital sex, as opposed to various methods of frottage, but is sometimes used colloquially to mean frottage (and vice-versa), nevertheless.

| - Frot (French: frotter, to rub) is a slang term derived from frottage describing a form of male-male non-penetrative sex, where male partners engage in the rubbing of erect penis on erect penis, typically while in full-frontal embrace. Various other sexual positions for frot are of course possible. Frot can be enjoyable because it mutually and simultaneously stimulates each partner's penis, especially the frenulum nerve bundle on the underside of the shaft, just below the urinary opening of the penis's "head". (Some frot practitioners refer to the frenulum region of the penis as "the sweet spot" because they find that direct frenulum-to-frenulum rubbing is the most reliable way to create intensely pleasurable sensations.) Subjectively, frot practitioners report that the high degree of "erotic symmetry" inherent to frot can bring a feeling of deep sexual intimacy without the need for physical penetration. And more controversially, some frot advocates assert that this symmetry will also tend to generate a strong sense of equality and shared masculinity, with the implied accusation that male/male anal sex is likely to leave the receptive man feeling somewhat emasculated in comparison to the penetrating man. This charge by some frot advocates, namely that male/male anal sex should be seen as psychologically less healthy than frot, has led to vigorous disputes -- often in terms connected more broadly to gay political ideology. The term frot specifies mutual male-male genital sex, as opposed to various methods of frottage, but is sometimes used colloquially to mean frottage (and vice-versa), nevertheless. The term frictation can refer to the wider meaning of frottage but it can also refer to penis-penis sex specifically. Since frot is a non-penetrative sex act, the risk of passing sexually transmitted infections that require direct contact between the mucous membranes and pre-ejaculate, or ejaculate is greatly minimized. Notably, HIV is among the diseases that require such direct contact, and is therefore very unlikely to be transmitted via frot . On the other hand, frot can potentially provide an "invasion" opportunity for a few pathogenic organisms that need only skin-to-skin contact. In this category are the viruses causing genital herpes and genital warts, either of which can, in some cases, lead to serious health problems. Other microorganisms that might travel from partner to partner during a frot session include molluscum contagiosum and crabs -- which, although relatively trivial from a medical standpoint, may cause some degree of discomfort and embarrassment. At the same time, it should be understood that all of these "casually transmissible" diseases are just as likely, if not more so, to be transmitted during male/male anal intercourse as during frot. __TOC__
