Groping is a term often used with a sexual connotation. It is defined as touching the private parts of another person in an aggressive manner. The most groped parts of a person's body include the buttocks, the breasts, the testicles and the thighs. It is considered to be a form of sexual harassment or sexual abuse. This is because it is mostly done without the permission, consent or free will of the person who is being groped.
Incidents of groping are not uncommon when groups of men and women travel together by means of public transport such as trains and buses. In Japan, suburban trains are crowded and it is impossible to avoid the physical contact between men and women. Men and women use this to their advantage. To combat this problem, some operators of suburban train services have now started operating men only and women only cars in the trains, but people have found a way to continue to indulge in it despite having separate compartments for women in suburban trains.
