According to this article, there is a difference in touch sensitivity between the sexes. Women are more predetermined to have more tactile sensation due to the size of their fingers, having their nervous system  more acute towards touch. This is because tinier fingers are more likely  to have their sensory receptors closer together, resulting on more/ and faster sensation. I found this article very interesting, due to the fact that not only our bodies are different, but the idea that a gender can be more susceptible to a sense is extremely interesting.
