Wouldn't

It's not. I just wouldn't want to touch it. Yuck!

I can't understand the meaning of the "wouldn't" at all.
Could you tell me about it, thanks very much in advance!

Hi, It sounds like there is some kind of condition implied. What is the context? What does each 'it' refer to?

Hi,

I can't quite hear their shrill little voices. But it probably means
(If I were in a situation where I had a chance to touch a cockroach) I wouldn't want to touch it.

It's common to use 'wouldn't' in this way.
