I used to think that I hated being touched. I would feel eeked out if someone I didn't know even brushed against me (and still do to some degree). During the past few years though I have realized that the right person can make being touched one of the most wonderful experiences for me. When my husband hugs me I feel like nothing can go wrong, ever! I don't think we've gone one single day that we've been together without sharing a hug.
