Is water wet?

(This is one of my h. w questions lol)

Back in the old days, when water was where we needed to spend our time, touch was a lot more important than it is now. We as beings had to be immediately aware if we were going in or out of water. Therefore, the feeling of wet is a primal sensory reminder.

However, thereafter once we ascended onto the land and trees, the feeling of wet became a sensory reminder of something out of the ordinary; it is raining - get shelter, you fell in a creek - start swimming.

The reason it feels as it feels when water touches the skin is actually a complex electro-chemical reaction which works at amazing speeds. The sensory inputs are a combination of:

1. Your body's pH at that moment

2. The water's pH

3. Your body's temperature at that moment

4. The water's temperature

5. The atmospheric pressure

6. Molecular polarity

Depends on how you look at it. But from my Biology Teacher, it isn't wet. I say the same, as well. For example, when you are in the pool you aren't wet until you get out.
