Support/Vent Touch Starved

I can deal with solitude pretty easily, but this touch starvation is brutal.

Im choosing to not date for now (and yes, it is a choice) and will not be getting pets as it is not a good time for that at present.

My friends are scattered all over multiple states and life, work, etc has resulted in relocation.

What do yall do?

Edit to clarify- this is not a sex thing.

heated blanket and stuffed animals! and the occasional hookup, but i’ve been less interested the older i get. i do have cats, but once they pass ill likely foster for or volunteer at the shelters around me.

Ooh heated blankets. Yes! As long as my ADD doesnt burn my place down. For a hook up it'd need to be like an ex im friends with or something where theres history for me, but no romantic feelings. Theres not that many of those and none close by!
