I've know of cases where a lack of physical touch during someone's childhood impeded the intellectual &/or emotional maturity of that person as s/he grew to become an adult. With that in mind, do you think you were physically touched by your parents and other adults who may have cared for you (and peers?) while you were growing up? Yes

I may be unusual in this regard, but I dislike any part of my body touching another part of it as I attempt to go to sleep. How about you (in regard to your own body, not mine!)?
I don't mind.
