Unless I feel intimate with a person, physical touch will just leave me feeling a bit awkward. Like if someone needed a hug, well I don't really and would just wait for the other person to be done with their need.
I think there is a certain deepness within me that others naturally don't want to touch also, and which has a bit of a repelling effect. A bit ago I went to a new age shop to buy some rocks and ended up chatting with the lady there and asked her things about her services and healing, and she was saying she learned over the years to let her intuition guide her over fix methods and she gave example of that if her intuitions tell her to touch someone then she does and as she said that she raised her hand to grab my arm but stopped mid-way and retreated. Kinda just made me smile mentally, like I guess your intuition told you to not touch me.
The body has clear in-built programmed instincts toward physical touch but in my experience it's nothing that mental play cannot satisfy. The mind can connect to others beyond physical touch and while physical touch allows to release energies that build up in one's body, to touch others without the physical can allow to more deeply touch another's spirit. Physical release then can be achiveved through other means also. I guess as Gemini I am more of a mental sign and so with how I am can just be "my way". A good example is that in school I've had a crush on a girl for 3-4 years and more than going out to talk with her I'd just always picture her at my side, I'd go to bed and think of her being with me for hours straight, feeling filled with love and light and completely energized.
The body is technically a layer of abstraction between spirit to separate them and so I think the physical allows more an exchange of what energies were absorbed from the environnement, which allows them to more easily be balanced through the synergy of being many to process it, but a spirit to spirit connection goes beyond the physical although it is still filtered through the body. Obviously I'm not saying that spirit-to-spirit cannot be reached in a physical play, as it is always at play, but ut what drives the contact is focused on the physical then it is unlikely to go beyond it. While, to find to feel whole through the mental already let goes somewhat of the separative illusion to an extent (works with seeking wholeness).
What I said about myself somewhat only applies to human contact, because of the extent which human are distorted and how energy is often made stagnant, with animals I really got no hold back unless the animal itself feels a resistance like fear or worry. Otherwise I just love to go on the ground playing with dogs and such. I think like Aion said, it is because their emotions are more simple, and I'd add it makes them purer.
I think we already are semi-permeable with one another on the emotional level. It can be conscious or not, but it is there. Yet, while the energy is shared it doesn't mean it is filtered the same and so what makes one feel a way doesn't necessarily make you feel that way through the lenses of your own distortions. But the energy is shared and it is a transparent and balanced personality that will be able to truly see how an energy is filtered in another, as it is not distorted in the self.
