What is OK is whatever you are comfortable with. Some people are genuinely "touchy feely people", I know that I am...but that is a whole other story..see I am somewhat intuitive, and pick up a lot of someone's emotion and thoughts if I touch them..
That said-...This is different.

You would "feel" if his touch was a genuine "just, you know, touch...but if it is creeping you out then it is not genuine and not OK!
So you did the right thing in telling him---If he wants to turn it over to being "your issue" so he takes no responsibility for his actions..Let him
Who cares what he thinks...at the very least he won't be touching you!!

And the ARE NO grabs from behind that are "just kidding" grabs. Tell this guy to back off...
The only real problem would be...is he your Boss or Superior at work...then it gets trickier
Keep me posted Mari I am curious...I used to work with all men and....
I am a beautiful, voluptious, INTELLIGENT woman so it was ALWAYS A CHALLENGE!

BUT I HAVE LEARNED LOTS OF "TRICKS" , I will be happy to share with you
