I don't mind and often enjoy it as long as it's family or friends.

I'm slightly odd, I think, I'm more comfortable touching people than not, I like cuddles and hugs and such, and don't mind crowded places where I'm struggling to squeeze through all the people (though really dislike slightly less crowded places where there's a good chance someone could walk into me) I guess it makes me feel connected to others without having to talk or anything.
though, there are some exceptions, for example I am excessively ticklish, to the point where I need people to be a little more gentle than usual, and I dislike some materials, particularly rough textures.

I'm comfortable with most forms of touch from people I know and formal touch (handshakes, etc) from strangers. I don't typically like hugging but will do it in greeting or parting, and I've never been big on cuddling. I didn't like being touched by anyone except family as a child.

I'm very comfortable with touching other people (with their permission, of course), but am EXTREMELY picky about who can put their hands on me. 8O

I'm not at all comfortable with touching or being touched, unless its with a current girlfriend and even then it takes me time to get used to that. I would probably never touch a random person, because I worry what their reaction will be. There has been a couple of times when I was very attracted to a particular woman and I was very tempted to touch them in what could be viewed as an inappropriate way, but then I don't because I can't be sure what they will do/think of me.

Also, I find handshakes generally very odd and I don't at all trust where the hands have been, before I'm expected to touch it. (yuck)

I'm comfortable touching anyone. I'm a very touchy feely huggy person.

I will only touch people if I initiate the contact, i.e. I ask for the hug, etc. I like hugs, but only when I ask for them. Other than that, I don't want people near me, especially teachers, parents, people I don't know very well, etc. The only person I let near me all the time in my best friend and other close friends.
I don't tolerate contact/touch when stressed, or even people being near me.
People think of me as huggy or touchy feely.

I am only comfortable with touching family members and my friends. Anyone else I rarely touch or never touch at all, especially strangers.

I have a bad habit of tapping people.

Only when I want attention.

What kind of touch is important. I don't mind shaking hands with strangers, for example, but hugging me is a different matter.

I don't like hugging people but since I was little I just put up my hand and the parent I did it to would do it back, it means the same as a hug (basically like a high-5 but without any force). I don't like having any contact with my friends, but if I was in a relationship it would be fine. I don't mind shaking hands with people I don't know

I am mostly only comfortable with only people I know very well, but sometimes even then I am only really comfortable with the female members, even sometimes female strangers. *shrugs*
