Not really sure on this one guys

It depends on the context of the situation. It's too broad of a statement to simply say "kino is an IOI."
If she is working while you're talking to her, like as a bartender or at a clothing store etc. it's less likely the touch is an IOI. She could just be trying to sell you something or get a tip.
If you are approaching a girl in a bar and she touches you it's probably an IOI, unless she is trying to play you to buy her a drink. If you approach a girl on the street during the day and she touches you it's almost guaranteed to be an IOI.
After enough experience you will just be able to recognize the subtle differences when a girl is actually interested in you or is just pretending to be. Don't stress over it. When in doubt, just assume it's an IOI.

If a girl is touching you, that means she's interested in you. Don't over complicate it/over read the situation. Assume she's interested.

I would like to add that it depends on HOW she touches you (or you touch her). Two obvious examples are a hard slap in the face (not an IOI) and a caress on the cheek (an IOI). A gentle slap in the face on the other hand can be a playful way to indicate interest. And if she, let's say, grabs your balls or your ass, it can be either because she is horny/interested or because she is playing power games and mocking you. So indeed, it depends on the context, and you have to read the situation.

I have met girls who use kino to seduce guys and make people chasing them, just for the sake of validation. In these cases they are not interested, they are just playing games. I tend to feel aversion to girls like that. This kind of kino, "normal kino", like putting a hand on the shoulder or the arm, can be used by a seller or waitress to get a better response from the customer. It is seductive, and you can use this (just like the girls) to make people chase you. But you need to be sincere, because otherwise you will get the same response as I gave those girls I mentioned (aversion).

If a girl is stroking your cock, you only have to think two things:

1. She is not interested in you as a person and she ONLY sees you as piece of meat that she wants to fuck. Nothing more, nothing less.

2. She is not interested in your good looks BUT your cock only.

Kino is NOT necessarily an Indicator of Interest. Fuck IOIs. Go for indicators of sexual arousal.

Usually yes.

Generally, yes. However, don't rely on kino alone to be a main indicator of interest. Look for how she looks at you, talks to you and how she is generally around you as opposed to other people.

As Majik said: Don't over complicate it, assume she's into you. The more you overcomplicate it the harder it gets. Trust me. Think "If I don't do it now, I won't ever go beyond 'friends.'"
