I use it in my flash because in such a tight space you have to build the emotion and reader-protagonist connection quickly, but I do my best to stay away from melodrama. However, I don't use tactile POVs in a lot of my stories. They only work some of the time.

However, it's something you have to be careful to avoid cliches when using.
