Toucherism

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Toucherism refers to sexual arousal based on grabbing or rubbing one's hands against an unexpecting (and non-consenting) person. It usually involves touching breasts, buttocks or genital areas, often while quickly walking across the victim's path.[1]

Sexologist Kurt Freund described toucherism as a courtship disorder that occurs at the tactile stage of human courtship.[2]
