Med Sci Law. 2010 Oct;50(4):228-9. doi: 10.1258/msl.2010.010103.

Abstract

Frotteurism is an aberrant behaviour wherein the person tends to rub or bring about physical contact between his genitals and an unrelated female to derive sexual pleasure. Our report describes an atypical case of hypersexual behaviour presenting in the form of masturbation with features of frotteurism and unipolar depression. The paper discusses the differential diagnosis and management of hypersexual behaviour.
