Is it possible that when you make skin to skin contact underwater that you are not really touching that person? Does the water that encases your body create a very thin layer, like a glove? So it feels like you are touching the person but really you are in contact with the water surrounding their body?

I don't know the answer, but I can suggest an experiment for you to try out to find the answer.
On your left palm, put a double sided tape. This tape should be sticking on your left palm. Then dip your hand into a pail of water, or your kitchen sink filled with water.
Then you put your right hand into the water. You press your right palm against your left palm.
If you can feel the double sided tape sticking onto your right palm, this means that there isn't a very thin layer of water between your right palm and the tape. That means skin to skin contact underwater is possible.
Try it and see if this answers your question.

You probably have more skin to skin contact underwater. Normally your skin is covered with a mix of perspiration, body oils and salts, and dirt. If you spend time underwater, much of that washes off. It's easier for water to be squeezed out of the inter-body space than the normal mucky mix.

outside of the water there is air surrounding you too, so maybe you never actually touch skin-on-skin because there will always be something in between, unless you're in space
im probably wrong though

the water moves as it is a liquid. therefore skin to skin contact is possible as the water that was against your skin would be displaced by the skin of the other person as they moved closer.
If it wasnt possible you would not be able to move in water it would be a solid

that's as a results of fact the deep purple shade of the blood plus the colour of the blood vessel and the colour of your fat and epidermis tissue all mixed at the same time, forming the severe high quality bluish purplish shade. Arteries look just about the comparable way. Even the blood vessels in umbilical cords look the comparable. BTW, there's a splash bit shade distinction interior the blood in veins vs. arteries. Arterial blood is plenty deeper purple as a results of fact it truly is oxygenated.

I would think that you are technically correct.
