Alqamah says that once he and some of his companions set out with the intention of performing Hajj. One of them said that a fasting man can kiss his wife and touch his body with hers. Then one of them, who had spent two years in night worship and fasting during the day, said, "I feel like picking up my bow and hitting you with it." He said, "Wait a little, let us go to Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) and ask her about this issue." So when they reached Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) and asked her about this issue, she replied, "Although the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had more control over his desires than you, even the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to kiss (his wives) and touch his body with theirs." The people said, "O Abu Shibl! Ask Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) for further clarification." He said, "Today I cannot speak so openly and informally with her." So the people themselves asked, and Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) replied, "The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to kiss his wives and touch his body with theirs while fasting."
