FONDLE Meaning and Definition

1. Fondle is a verb that refers to the act of touching or caressing someone or something in an affectionate or loving manner. This action is usually done with the hands, and there is often an element of tenderness or sensuality involved. Fondling can include gentle stroking, rubbing, or petting, and it is typically performed with the intention of expressing love, care, or desire.

   The term is commonly used in the context of human relationships to describe physical displays of affection or intimacy between partners. It can be a form of foreplay or a way to show affection, as well as an expression of desire or attraction to another person. Fondling is often associated with acts like cuddling, hugging, or being physically close to someone, and it can be both comforting and arousing.

   In a broader sense, fondle can also be used to describe the act of physically interacting with an object in a similarly gentle or caressing manner. For instance, a person might fondle a soft fabric, a cherished possession, or a beloved pet. In these cases, the intention is usually to show care, appreciation, or to enjoy the tactile sensation.

   However, it is important to note that fondling loses its affectionate connotation and becomes inappropriate or non-consensual when performed without consent or against someone's wishes. Such actions are a violation of personal boundaries and can be associated with harassment or assault.

2. To caress; to treat with tenderness.
