Touch spells - Holding the charge and being touched


Rules Questions


Combat
Holding the Charge: If you don’t discharge the spell in the round when you cast the spell, you can hold the charge indefinitely. You can continue to make touch attacks round after round. If you touch anything or anyone while holding a charge, even unintentionally, the spell discharges. If you cast another spell, the touch spell dissipates. You can touch one friend as a standard action or up to six friends as a full-round action. Alternatively, you may make a normal unarmed attack (or an attack with a natural weapon) while holding a charge. In this case, you aren’t considered armed and you provoke attacks of opportunity as normal for the attack. If your unarmed attack or natural weapon attack normally doesn’t provoke attacks of opportunity, neither does this attack. If the attack hits, you deal normal damage for your unarmed attack or natural weapon and the spell discharges. If the attack misses, you are still holding the charge.

From the above if you have casted frostbite and are holding the charge and someone touches you, for example monk flurry of blows, do they get hit by the charges? or Do you have to explicitly touch the opponent not the other way around? Would they be standard actions that would gave bonus damage on hit?

Sorry in advance if this seems like some form of exploitation of rules.
