Hi Cecil, It is now referred to as frotteurism (also toucheurism). The term frottage -- a technique employed to lift textures off tactile surfaces. continues to be used in art, and was employed extensively by Max Ernst — the Surrealist. See below for a more comprehensive reference on Frotteurism : http://www.reference.com/search?r=13&q=Frotteurism
Also see paraphilia: http://www.reference.com/browse/wiki/Paraphilia Can you imagine if there was a book put together on the various philia's / paraphilias in Konkani/Marathi? Perhaps they do exist in Marathi. I must look into this. Nothing like learning new words that I will only use a couple of times in my life.
