Everything I say can be fully substantiated by my own opinion.

The standard belief for this behavior is that the animal craves salt, which is exuded through our pores.  You may, also, be using a body wash that has an inticing odor.

Some animal licking is a bonding behavior.  In nature, they will bathe only members of their own family.  So, if they are licking you, that means they accept you as family.
