Anyone else annoyed with random belly touching?

I am only 18 weeks so not been showing that long, but already everyone wants to touch my belly and its really pissing me off!!
I am not being horrible, I am just not a massive touchy-feely person (except with DP) and just feel so creeped out every time someone wants to touch it. I wouldn't mind so much if people asked but my family seem to think its ok to pat it or rub it whenever they feel like it. I am sure they wouldn't like me touching their bellies at random intervals.

Anyone got any advice on how to deal with belly-touchers without upsetting them??

Flinch the moment they swoop in and say 'Oh please don't, it's very tender actually.'

For repeat offenders, jiggle their bellies, breasts or moobs by way of reciprocation.

I was given advice of saying (to strangers) 'I'm not pregnant' and see how fast the move their hand or as they reach to you , you reach for their ehm bits and say 'well if you'r going to have a feel......'
