Frot[edit]

Frot is a term used to describe a form of non-penetrative sexual activity between two males, where the primary focus is on the rubbing together of the penises. This practice is often considered a form of mutual masturbation and is characterized by its emphasis on direct genital contact without penetration.

Etymology[edit]

The term "frot" is derived from the French word "frotter," which means "to rub." It is used to describe the action of rubbing the genitals together, which is the central aspect of this sexual practice.

Practice[edit]

Frot is typically performed by two males who engage in the act of rubbing their penises together. This can be done in various positions, such as lying side by side or facing each other. The practice is often seen as a way to achieve sexual pleasure and intimacy without the need for penetration.

Health and Safety[edit]

Frot is considered a safer sex practice compared to penetrative sex, as it reduces the risk of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) that are commonly transmitted through penetrative acts. However, it is still possible to transmit certain infections through skin-to-skin contact, so precautions such as maintaining good hygiene and regular STI testing are recommended.

Cultural Significance[edit]

Frot has been embraced by some within the LGBT community as a form of sexual expression that emphasizes equality and mutual pleasure. It is sometimes seen as a rejection of traditional penetrative roles and an affirmation of non-penetrative intimacy.
