B M P V W 8-/ I guess I'm weird because my lips touch on the "V"

No they. Because if they do you're making a motorboat sound. Vrb-vrb-vrb-vrb-vrb-vrb-vrb.

Just when I say the letter "Vee" my lips touch just briefly.

You are potentially both correct. But since we can learn to improve articulation at any age, it's likely that you will pronounce the sound more clearly and correctly if you train yourself not to allow your lips to touch.

Yeah that's true enough. I can say it without necessarily even moving my lips - I can speak whole sentences without any lip movement but I notice If I'm trying to articulate clearly, my lips do touch on "W" and "V." Of course there's every possibility I'm a freak that belongs in a jar in a side show.
