Usually I do not like to be touched, especially unexpectedly, but with my Gf, she can for some reason touch me even unexpectedly without me jumping in pain.

Anyone else experience anything like this?

I can only be touched by my fiancé and my children. Anyone else and I cringe and pull away. Without you knowing it you learn their touch, no one has the exact same touch as another.

I ONLY let my mom touch me. I can tolerate my sister's.
The rest, never; I end up pulling back away from them. Sometimes in a downright annoying reaction. Unless it's a necessity, and/or asked for.

My brother and my sister because I love them. :heart:

My autistic friends, if they are willing.

Other friends that I've done productions with and spent the majority of my time with. Only sometimes though.

I also feel as though hugs are very nice. :D

Mom, wife, kids are fine.

I always felt weird hugging people that are acquaintances.

Theoretically I can be touched by anybody who I like (and feel safe with or close to), though now I have a partner I don't encourage other women to touch me much at all if they could be construed as potential sexual rivals. That's just an ethical thing, emotional fidelity and a respect for my partner's feelings. I don't have any close female friends except for my partner anyway. Even with blood relatives I keep touching to a pretty demure standard - we're not a very touchy-feely family. I'm fairly happy for men to touch me, within the usual social limits, though they don't do that very much.

Naturally my partner can touch me a heck of a lot more than anybody else can, but when it comes to being suddenly and unexpectedly touched, it gives me such an unpleasant jolt that I don't even let her do that. And from outsiders, it's practically an act of war to me.

I do not mind at all, I even like to spar/wrestle. Even thinking about taking some boxing lessons.

Different strokes for different folks I guess

I'm the same, I hate to be touched unless it's by a romantic partner. My coworkers always want to slap me on the back or shoulder. I tolerate it because most view such touch as socially acceptable, but I don't like it.

My parents can hug me, but it has to be tight (deep pressure). If they touch me unexpectedly, I lash out and hit them. If anyone that isn't my parents touches me, I freak out.

My touch ability is kind of fickle. Babies are the only ones who are always okay. Everyone else (talk even my husband) may be too much for me at times.

I'm *usually* okay to be touched though.

I can't support anybody touching me, except my cats. I like the texture of their fur.
Also I guess if I had a girlfriend I'd like it.

I don't mind being in physical contact with my aunt, friends, and dog. I can tolerate being touched by people but anytime someone I don't mind being touched by there is a sensation where they made contact and I feel like I was to scratch it out like a bad itch but it doesn't go away for a few minutes which annoys a lot.

Unexpected touch depends on how stressed I already am as to whether or not my husband or kids can do it. Most often I shrink away at the touch, but if I am really stressed, I'll lash out.
