I just learned that humans don’t have receptors to sense wetness. What is it that we feel when water touches our skin then?

From my understanding, we’re able to feel the temperature, texture and pressure of water. And if we’re able to feel all that, what more else is there? What defines wetness and what should it feel like?

Sure we don’t, but does any other species have receptors to sense “wetness”, i.e. contact with water or another liquid?
