But if you visit:
http://www.goodsexnetwork.com/

...you will find that the website is now couched within some kind of frame.
Here¹s the ³View Source² result:

<FRAMESET ROWS="*" TITLE="goodsexnetwork.com"><FRAME NAME="top"

This frame is causing me problems. Why has Apache done this (inserted a
frame into the situation)? And is there a way to prevent the use of the
frame?

From what you have posted above Apache should will not be doing that to 

you pages.  You have mod_proxy_html loaded. Are you using it elsewhere 

on your server? As the config snippet above certainly isn't.

You also say you have forwarded the site to 

74.102.141.248/goodsexnetwork. How have you done that?
