Fight Play
In humans, play fighting (sometimes called roughhousing) is an activity in which two or more people act as though they are in combat, but without actually meaning to harm their partners, nor dealing sufficient bodily harm to make the game unenjoyable. The players may or may not choose to involve actual physical contact.
Nonconsensual physical contact of this nature, if severe enough, could be considered assault.
Generally, play fighting games are highly sporadic and last only as long as interest and time allow. It is also worth noting that the older the participants, the more likely that physical touch is involved. Typically, this behavior stops almost completely during middle age.[citation needed]
Humans seem to engage in this activity merely for amusement, as it is generally not serious enough to provide usable combat training. When play fighting is used for that specific purpose, it may be called sparring.
