Weird goat question

[Dawnclucks22]

We got our first goats maybe about a month ago now. They’re Nigerian Dwarves. They’re very friendly and cute of course, both males. But here’s the weird part.
I wear shorts a lot outside and almost every time I go into their enclosure they come up and just?? Lick me?? For long periods of time. Is this affection or something else? They have a mineral block which I thought would stop it but no.
This isn’t exactly a problem as I think it’s hilarious but really got me wondering.

Have they been castrated? Do they have a salt block in addition to the mineral block? If they have not been castrated, get that done ASAP.

My goats lick me too. Not all the time though. I think they like the smell of my bathing products I use? Won't lick me if I'm wearing mosquito spray though. Not a big deal. Enjoy your goats.

They are castrated. I’m fairly sure that the block is made of salt too which is why it’s weird.

They're most likely licking the salt from your skin.
