Frotteurism — what is it and what to do if you encounter it?
People who have an overwhelming desire to satisfy their sexual urges by rubbing body parts (usually the hands or genitals) against another person”s body, mainly through clothing, are called floaters. Most often, such people can be found on buses, subways and other types of public transport, especially during rush hours.

In general, such behavior, especially in public places when one person wants to be closer to another stranger, is a deviation from the norm. Floterism is not only mentally abnormal, but also causes constant inconvenience and embarrassment for others. Essentially, there are two types of flotation:
- A person reaches the pinnacle of pleasure when he rubs against another person.
- People get excited only during friction, and then go to a quiet place and masturbate.
Reasons for rejection
The roots of almost all deviations can be traced, in most cases, to childhood. This deviation was no exception. The main reasons why people become roaches are:
- The main reason is deviation from perfection, as well as the passage of puberty. In other words, the person remains in the mind of a teenager, with raging hormones and everything that follows.
- Difficulties in relationships with peers. Everything is simple here. When open relationships don”t work, people look for all sorts of hidden ways to express their sexual feelings. Some people begin to masturbate more often, others are attracted to this type of sexual deviation such as flotation.
- Lack of intimate life. When there is no sex, hormones are boiling, and self-satisfaction is no longer useful, all sorts of bad thoughts come to mind, for example, getting pleasure from the fact that someone is rubbing against someone else on the bus.
- Lack of interest from the opposite sex, lack of self-confidence. When all attempts to express oneself have failed, a conditioned change occurs in the person”s consciousness. The desire for attention does not disappear, but fades into the background and is replaced by the desire to feel like some kind of leader. A certain sense of superiority reassures the fleet player when performing satisfying activities.
- Brain damage caused by tumors or growths. The most serious reason is changes in the cerebral cortex, as a result of which a person’s perception of the world around him changes.
- Wrong upbringing. The point is not that parents missed conversations in childhood, explaining this by the fact that in public transport at this time it is impossible to lean against people; against this background, a deviation was formed in a person. This meant that the parents did not pay enough attention to care, and what the flotilla player now lacked was a sense of touch.

Procedure, as well as methods of struggle
In general, for those who prefer this type of deviation, the procedure is almost identical. First, find a crowded bus or subway car. This happens mainly during rush hour, i. e. closer to the time people leave for work. Potential victims are then selected. The person then approaches the target and gradually presses on it — first with the back of the hand, then with the knee, then with the body.
If the victim does not react, the fleet operator becomes rude and puts pressure on the genitals. Women can press on their breasts. All these steps can be easily done on the bus. This is due to the fact that constant rocking allows you to move more actively and get more pleasure. When the concern ends, he leaves the victim, who is sometimes crushed and does not have time to feel anything. In general, such anxious people are not to be feared. If you feel that something is wrong, the most effective way is to simply turn and look at the person. In most cases, this person will be very embarrassed and leave. Of course, in extreme cases you can shout and threaten the offender, but in most cases this is not necessary. As a rule, the person of interest is not punished, since in most cases the subject either does not have time to understand anything, is so scared that he is afraid to move, or in some cases enjoys the process. There is even an unspoken rule that to determine the behavior of the victim, you must first run your hand over his body. After assessing the reaction, act according to the situation. If the reaction is positive, just enjoy the process. If there is no reaction, act more thick-skinned; if the reaction is negative, back off so as not to offend the person.
Law and treatment
In general, flotation is not a very dangerous fetish for society, but for some people it can cause problems. The law does not regulate flutter behavior in any way, except that it is considered harassment and a violation of a person’s honor and dignity. However, in the UK, the illegality of such behavior is established at the legislative level, and men who accidentally lean against a woman on public transport risk being taken to the police station.
There is no psychological diagnosis that would explain such deviations in human behavior. However, anyone can turn to a psychologist for professional advice. Key tips include. If possible, reduce the time you spend on public transport to avoid temptation. Take the bus or subway with friends or colleagues. Communication and conversation will help you hold on better and not fall apart. As for the most effective option, find a sexual partner or life partner who can satisfy the excessive passions of the person you are in love with. However, victims of flotillas should not remain silent, especially when it comes to children and adolescents. Adults must firmly explain to children what to do in situations where they are being coerced by strangers. Often, not knowing what to do, teenagers are silent and ashamed of what happened to them. This can cause injury and negatively impact the child”s life in the future.
