Guys, why do you touch females so much, and so often?

I don't mean sexually, in sexual situations, I mean generally.
Why do you touch females so much, and so often?
I am not a particularly tactile person myself, unless it's family or a really close friend. I'm respectful, in some ways reserved, but very friendly.
I find that on a daily basis, men touch me as if my body is their property.
Some examples are:
Standing in very close proximity.
A client's husband at work putting his hands on my hips from behind, to move me a little bit out of the way.

Touching my waist.
An older man I know who is very respectful, married and a dad, touches my back and shoulders very often, while maintaining eye contact.
A guy similar in age to me at work, who happens to be married, with a baby, touched my stomach, trying to explain something to me, which was work related (he's a physio). Then again, today, he was explaining another scenario to me, and touched me for a second on my upper/side bum, near my hip. I didn't really see it to be necessary at all for him to touch me in those places while explaining these things to me, it took me by surprise actually.
And just general touching.
I am not inviting the touching, at least not that I know of.
I am not positioning myself closely to males either, and if they get too close, I will generally move away a fraction.
I dress nicely, but modestly.
I'm not flirtatious either, at least I hope I don't come across that way.

So what I'd like to know, is the above behaviour normal?
Am I just being over sensitive about something that is very normal and common?
Why do males do this?
Do you do this? And why/why not?

Any insight would be appreciated!

The examples I have given have not been the only incidents, but I thought I'd list just a few, to give a general idea of what I'm talking about.

I often don't say anything, as Im not sure if I'm just thinking too much about something that is actually perfectly normal, and I'm just over-sensitive.
It's normal, you're just being over-sensitive.
That's not normal, it's inappropriate.
They're probably very tactile/touchy people, generally.
