For me hand-holding is good so long as there is no romantic subtext. (Which is difficult to explain, I know). Something more like holding hands because we a part of the same "team", going to do something together, being lead somewhere, etc. Kissing great so long as it's sensual, sexual or both. But if there is romance there it feels "poisoned". What would be a good fun thing no longer is.

About the only possibility I've found would be http://www.cuddleparty.com/ Though these can be uncommon and expensive (even without considering travel) too. For some people pillows, even life-size dolls, can be acceptable as cuddle partners. For others of us it really needs to be living, breathing, humans There's a whole spectrum of how people feel about this. Though it does appear to be fairly unusual for the "too little" side of the coin to get an airing.

This can also easily go the "other way" with someone's sexual orientation being assumed from their romantic orientation. e.g. an aromantic person being assumed to also be asexual.

I've never understood wanting monogamy. Similarly I've always found the idea that couples do everything together, including things which arn't even sexual or sensual, to be baffling. Abandoning people in favour of someone you have just met dosn't seem in any way "friendly" or "loving" in the first place.
