People have different factors in touch aversion. For some it really is sexual. Those with issues about homophobia or child abuse are especially prone to sorting acceptable touch by sex and/or body zone. For other people it's more about the type of touch (light/heavy) or how well they know the other person.
A more comprehensive test would be useful.
I haven't found one, but in searching I came across the quote "No touchy!" from The Emperor's New Groove. Cuzco isn't entirely a sympathetic character, but thinking back on it, he's not a bad example of how being a public figure can make people averse to being pawed. And he's one of the rare examples of a character actually saying some version of "No, don't touch me!" in canon.
