Do you like being touched?

Only with someone I'm really close to. I didn't mind it so much in elementary school and high school because I was in close proximity to my group of friends all the time and we knew each other since we were kids. We were used to playing in the school yard and having sleepovers and the comfort level around hugs and stuff was more natural. I only have a couple of friends I've made at university that I'd really feel comfortable hugging or being physically affectionate with. I think this might be because we all met each other as adults and that more innocent/childlike physical affection isn't something that's as natural or as accepted at this age.
Maybe that's me though.

I voted no, because in general i`m not fond of it. However, there are a few people I love hugging with.
Once a girl I worked with tried to hug me when I got emotional and I literally leaped 2 metres away from her. She was seriously scared and tensed up by that. I just can`t help it. I wasn`t brought up that way and have no experiences with it later in life, with the exception of some direct family members.

I said yes, but it really, really depends for me. I grew up in a family that never touched or hugged. I don't think I ever saw my parents touch each other. So on the rare occasion that my mom tries to hug me now, it's really awkward and uncomfortable. On the other hand, I hug my husband and my kids all of the time. I also have no trouble hugging acquaintances and friends.
Very interesting how the poll is split right down the middle on this...

I'm just awkward in general if someone touches me, whether that be a hug or just playing with my hair or something. One girl would come up to me everyday in school and give me a tight hug that lasted 30 seconds or so (she did that with everyone and was known for it) and one day she'd comment and say "You're shivering. Are you cold?" Bleh.
I'm also very ticklish in some places.

Generally, no. It feels awkward and weird. I like having my own space to be honest.
But if it's with a close friend, or a s/o or something, then I'm completely fine with it. I like hugs and stuff like that. ;w; It would be nice to hug someone who I really loved. But I think in general... No.

I wuv huggles!
I absolutely adore cuddling and holding hands with my boyfriend, luckily he loves it just as much as me. 
I'm fine hugging my friends every so often, but anything more than that or more frequent would be uncomfortable for me. So it definitely depends on who it is!
