Depends on what you mean by "don't like the idea of someone touching".
Asexual people, real asexual people - are indifferent to sex.
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/indifferent for the definition.
In psychology I believe the 'correct' term is apathy: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apathy
Being asexual means you have no feelings - neither positive nor negative toward the act - you would just not be interested.
You are experience fear, you are emotionally invested to the act - albeit in a negative manner.
People who were children of abuse (all sorts, not just sexual abuse) usually end up having issues with sex in general. Many fear the act, not so much because of the act itself but because it is a form of intimacy. If there was abuse in your past, either in your childhood or from a domestic partner, there may be a real intimacy issue here, not a 'lack of interest' in sex.
If you have suffered from any form of abuse - be it emotional, physical, sexual from anyone you may want to seriously consider professional help to deal with the issues. I would strongly recommend going to a psychologist first. Psychiatrists tend to be to quick to write prescriptions which can really mess a person up when it comes to the mood altering substances most MD's pass out like candy.
A psychologist (therapist) will work with you, help you to figure out what is up with you, and then proceed to give you tools to work with your issues and 'deal with' common everyday things that may be exacerbated by per-existing conditions.
A psychologist will know if medicines are needed as part of the therapy - however they tend to hold off on having you on drugs for a longish while.
Fear of a thing is usually a 'bad sign' unless its warranted, like fear of drinking drano - there is sound reason to be afraid to drink the drano
