Frotteuristic Disorde

Frotteuristic disorder is defined by sexual arousal from touching or rubbing against a non-consenting person, usually in crowded public spaces. The disorder often emerges in adolescence and persists into adulthood, frequently accompanied by impulsivity and compulsive sexual fantasies. Individuals may feel significant tension and preoccupation with frotteuristic behavior, which can impair social functioning and result in legal consequences. Cultural and social norms in Saudi Arabia, including gender segregation and heightened surveillance in public spaces, may reduce opportunities to act on these impulses but can intensify internalized guilt, shame, and anxiety. Frotteuristic behavior often co-occurs with other paraphilic interests and impulse-control disorders, further complicating assessment and treatment.
