Does anyone feel immensely better after they get touched by anyone really?

No. Nothing you do is weird, you don't need validation. And you'll be creepy as long as you use the phrase "hopefully this doesn't come off as creepy."

It's because you instantly make me view what you're writing through the frame of creepiness – something I wouldn't have done naturally.

It is natural. Funny thing about society, we alienate almost everything that makes us happy. Men love to be touched by other men (we just don't like people thinking we're gay). Women love being touched by women. Men love being touched by women. Women love being touched by men.

Anything else is a lie designed to reinforce the social matrix.

its perfectly natural, as physical touch has a health benefit; as a matter of fact, if babies don't get physical touch they die.

It's called oxytocin: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rFAdlU2ETjU

There's a lot of strange quirks involved with pickup. Taking up space, for example, makes you feel more dominant.

No. not weird. Humans are social creatures.

Nope, not me. I'm weirded out when people I don't know are touching me. Don't get me wrong, I'm fine with a handshake or high five, you know, things that a normal for people who've just met. But if some one who's name I don't even know is squeezing my shoulder, first thing I do is brush their hand off thinking, "Why the fuck are you touching me?"

People are allowed to touch me on my terms, not theirs.

I don't know how true this is but I once had a professor tell me that all people desire simple non-sexual physical touch and that frustration can build from not getting enough of it on a regular basis although we would have no idea where this frustration comes from. Getting this amount of touch is harder for men than women because women don't have as much of a problem with touching each other as men do. My professor also theorized that maybe that unfulfilled desire for touch in men is one of the reasons why guys will playfully punch each other, and play contact sports recreationally. He also thought it could be further extrapolated to why men enjoy seeing violence more than women, since it's a form of physical contact that is socially acceptable for men to enjoy seeing.

Absolutely normal. Like really normal. Like the same as five fingers on each hand, or having two eyeballs, that's how normal it is.
