ELI5:Why does something cold and smooth sometimes feel wet?

It’s been proposed that your body doesn’t in fact have “wet” receptors,
but instead combines temperature, texture, and pressure to perceive
“wetness” and form a sort of “touch memory” based on that. Have you ever
worn a latex glove, then dipped your fingers in water? Feels wet, but
your fingers are dry inside the glove.

Explain Like I`m Five: good questions, best answers.
