Yes, I had the same problem with being touched - but then my best friend (who's a really *touching* person) helped me get used to not flinching so much when being touched unexpectedly by giving me a lot of positive, non-sexual touch. Hugs and holding hands and cuddles when we were sitting on a counch watching a movie together - that kind of stuff. It's helped me be a bit more relaxed now that touch =/= going to be hurt.
It takes time, and trust. It's do-able though, not impossible to get through. Good luck.
