A nonsensical term that originated from the French word "
frottage," pronounced
fruh + taj. Thus, "frot" should be pronounced like "
frut."
Still, today, frot is rarely used, and if so, generally only means "to chafe" or when one is dancing with another, "to gyrate."
How the gay community adopted this term is a mystery. Why they would choose such a disgusting sounding word to describe a sexual act is another mystery. If they wanted the act to be taken seriously, a more proper word should have been chosen, as "frot" is incorrect.
"Fricitation" and "frontism" are the correct terms for what the gay community think of as "frot." Genito-genital rubbing or
GG rubbing is a term frequently used by primatologists to describe the act. "
Frotting" simply means "chafing."
Example:
Matt: I swear that
weird dude just frotted against my leg
on the train. I've got to get a car.
or
Dave: Would it be a sin to frot that girl over there subway doors?
Sean: I wouldn't. I saw her
frotting four dudes at the club last night. She probably gets around.
