This is something I've wondered about for some time, but never really knew where to look for answers. Most of the time, when it comes to my sense of touch, I can't tell if something is cold or wet unless I can actually see or feel the liquid. For example, if I sit on a metal bench during wintertime, I can't tell if what I'm sitting on is cold or wet. I often find myself jumping up and seeing if there was a puddle or some moisture on the bench, or if I can feel liquid on the seat of my pants. To me the sensations of cold and wet are the same.
Is this a common sensation? Does everyone experience this? Or could this be considered a sensory issue?
sort of, but I don't really know. I don't think it is a sensory issue. I just think that cold and wet are usually together and you feel cold/temp before wet.
if you burn your hand can you tell if the object was wet first?
