From touch starving to touch aversion

I remember 3 years ago when I was able to attract women I was with a girl I met off of tinder and she was saying how she was "touch-deprived" since she had not had any romantic contact for 2 weeks. Even at that time where I was able to find relative success with women it was still months between interactions with them.

Now I just look back and think "imagine how touch deprived she would feel after 3 years". I know there are those who are worse off than me so I can't talk much, but the difference between female "loneliness" and male loneliness is vast.

To answer your question, my female coworkers would sometimes touch me on the shoulder or try to give me hugs and I would do it or reluctantly do it. I don't want to be seen as a creep which is why I avoid it. I do not even know how I would react if a girl was touching me in a romantic sense. I don't think I would feel an aversion to it, but I also don't think it will ever happen.

Not exactly, but I think I get it. I'm severely physically disabled; and due to my disability it's very hard for me to take a shower. I hadn't done it in easily +10 years before last summer; bathing instead via sponge baths. Last summer, I found a new shower chair that actually works for me, and feeling the spray directly on me kinda freaked me out. It was just such a new sensation to me after going so long without it.

I totally get how touch could be the same way.
