Chris has only very lately, and not thoroughly, understood not to touch people, despite decades attempts to try teach it. It's mostly controlled these days, but it's still an everpresent impulse; when ever Chris can grab Free Hugs, Chris will grab Free Hugs (hence, Bronies). 10-15 years ago there was far less control.
This is maybe one of the trans saga's lasting achievements: Chris hung around with the local queer community IRL and from the looks was quite happy (I missed out those years), as well as online with trans ppl, and at least by the former for the first time seems to have been well liked and accepted. The latter are more mixed presumably, because of a pronounced tendency to whiteknight and fawn over Chris, but from what I've seen they'd very like give Chris a piece of their mind over incedents of inappropriate touching. The queer community is quite insistent about this, and might just be able to explain it in a Chris-comprehensible way. Chris is still all huggy these days, and always will be I think (reson below) but usually not anymore without permission. Compared to 15 years ago, it has much improved.
Also, Chris had previous to the stay at Western somehow already figured that lay exorcisms must not be performed without getting permission from the loony ward staff in charge. And I don't think this understanding was based on a thorough study of the pertinent Catholic doctrine. The original CWC was not into exorcisms yet, but had he been, 5 bucks says he'd launched himself right at it with no restraint. To have Chris ask for permission before setting out to do something jackassed (and being denied permission, not doing it anyway) is a great step forward. Chris is not incapable of social learning, but not by any normal or straight road.
On counterimpulse I would not count. Chris thinks that attraction ordained by cosmic forces is always mutual, no matter the outward signs, simply due to it being ordained by cosmic forces. The True Sweethart cannot resist, because this is not what the True Sweethart does. Any indications to the contrary would be dismissed as illusionary, if it was perceived at all. (This was abundantly documented during the Anniebananny and subsequent years.)
And as a final note, Chris' touching people is not the horniness of a drunken fratboy, it is a gut-level craving for a specific type of tactile sensation; the sexual aspect is secondary. ASD and altered pressure sensitivity is a universe unto itself. Squeezing and getting squeezed gives Chris a feeling presumably much similar in type to the touch sensation during a blowjob or rimming does for people who are into that. (I don't mean orgasm, but that suspenseful brain-rushing tingling as an orgasm start to build up.)
