Is it permissible, as a joke, to touch my friend's penis over his clothes?

It is not permissible for a man to touch another man's body in areas that are impermissible for him to look at, even if in jest. This is because it may lead to fitna (temptation), arousal, and sodomy. The prohibition becomes more severe if the touching is intended for pleasure or arousal.
