Ooooh! I... cannot think of any. And I think Rogue is if anything sort of a counter-example - it's not that she doesn't /want/ to be touched, it's that she wants to be but /can't/. In fact, I read her angst-wracked-ness as reinforcing the whole "touch is the most important thing ever" thing.

I've actually been writing a character who's touch-averse and finding myself having to work really hard not to backslide on that in certain scenes - especially to do with comfort. It seems as if I automatically want to use a script where both of the participants find things like hugs etc. good and calming - which is doubly frustrating since that script wouldn't work for me either.
