This is just more of the sexual hysteria that is twisting our world into an absurd and dangerously skewed alternate reality. We're animals. Social animals - who rely on touch. Just because some people are uncomfortable and unable to deal with unwanted physical (and not necessarily sexual) contact, we all have to wrap ourselves up in cotton wool and avoid touching one another. It's not natural, and spreading the hysteria onto our children is just wrong. The problem is trying to form an argument without people hysterically screaming 'rapist!' or 'paedophile!' when you try and argue for a more relaxed set of social norms. So I wont bother. I say let kids touch one another. I say let them bully and be bullied by one another. Let them figure out what is and is not appropriate in life - but let them do it naturally. But please don't brainwash and confuse them into thinking that touching other people is wrong.
