After studying this passage a while in the past, I have found that I believe
"touch" here means "bother with" in a way.  That is, I think that Paul is
saying, "It is good that a man does not concern himself with a woman" so
that he can serve the Lord more fully.  I know this interpretation destroys
some people's use of this verse, but we need to be honest w/ the text.
