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.

Have you considered volunteering at an animal shelter? Getting some time with a dog always helps me.
